Sandwiches
A global sandwich library built in the same component-guide system as potatoes, pizza, sauces, ice cream and vegetables. It covers toasted sandwiches, deli classics, baguette sandwiches, fried fillings, street-food buns, pita sandwiches and pressed loaves, with ingredients, methods, texture cues, common mistakes and serving advice. The entire section is intentionally unpublished until its imagery and launch date are approved.
