This is a fake cookbook zine I created to pay homage to all the sandwiches I made working behind a deli over COVID. I didn’t want this to be a functional cookbook because a truly perfect sandwich has no road map. But as a reflection of my process through COVID, I decided this cookbook should start with simple and boring beats and slowly transition to balls to the wall chaos.
The initial concept was driven by the idea of the zine being seen out in the wild and appearing as typical and unassuming. But by flipping through it, an obvious breaking point is revealed where the reader realizes the zine doesn’t exist to teach anyone about sandwiches.
