“...I
love a good Club Sandwich – when it is made right. I used to make them for the
buffet at the Savoy Grill when I worked there as a 17-year-old.
If
you have young children, as I do, Club sandwiches are a great quick fix when
you need something fast. My favourite so far was one I had recently on a skiing
trip with my boys when we stayed at the Ambassador Hotel in Crans Montana,
Switzerland.
A
perfect Club Sandwich can be as enjoyable as a gourmet meal as long as it is
made right. As with any recipe, good quality ingredients are vital. Ensure you
make them fresh and balance the fillings to ensure great flavour.
My
chef at Tredwell’s, Andrew Ward, has a great pulled pork slider on the menu –
the pork would work fantastically well in a Club Sandwich.
