Do you make sandwiches at home? Fast-food–style? Whole-grain? A sandwich is such a simple, tasty, and often even healthy thing. I’ll share some favorite combinations, and I’d love to hear about yours.

Experiment with bread: whole grain, sprouted, rye, onion. The key is fresh, crunchy, and fragrant.

Try different sauces and chutneys - they should complement the main filling perfectly: onion marmalade, tomato chutney, pepper chutney, apple chutney, or various fruit and berry preserves.

Remember the cheeses: goat, sheep, soft, aged, with mold or without.

The more greens the better: basil, cilantro, tarragon, lettuce leaves, sprouts.

Meat (if you eat it): boiled, smoked, prosciutto, salami, bresaola, chorizo, etc.

Today’s breakfast included:

• sandwich with chili paste, prosciutto, and arugula
• sandwich with quince-citrus confit, Parmesan, and cilantro

Other favorites:

• chorizo, onion marmalade, and lots of greens (lettuce, mâche, or baby mix)
• soft goat cheese, dill, and pickles
