Written by the chef and restaurant owner Tyler Kord, the sandwich cookbook entitled 'A Super Upsetting Cookbook About Sandwiches' is laden with comedic commentary, rants and conversations.
Rather than following the standard cookbook format where the recipe is listed along with specific instructions, this cookbook inserts the recipe in the middle of rants and banter. An example of this is the 'Zucchini Parm' recipe in which the cookbook complains about "our expectations about the cost of food" while inserting the recipe inside the rant. This unique format for a sandwich cookbook provides entertainment and humor for the individual who is following the recipe.
This sandwich cookbook forgoes tradition and expectation with its comedy-laden instructions and makes itself standout in the vast food recipe market.
