The first thing i think of when I hear the word sandwich,is layers upon layers of pure goodness! Let's begin, my number one rule when I start any dish is to find the highest quality and freshest ingredients possible. For example,starting with the bread... find a bakery that produces fresh bread daily not delivered! Request the appropriate bread for your project and establish a relationship with your baker,people tend to take a little extra care of people that care about them. Next, take a trip to your local farmers market and meet the people in your area that grow your fresh produce and find what works best for you,hear is where things can get very interesting because with all of these options you can be as simple or as elaberate as you would like... be careful!
Now that you have all of your components collected it's construction time! The next most essential practice is to infuse as much flavour into each ingredient as possible, for example your bread is baked with it's original flavor we can toast it with aged cheddar,make an herb butter,and drizzle with a light honey... simple,tasty and your friend will wonder where you got this awesome bread! Last but not least take into consideration how to orchastrate or layer your sandwich, what hit your tongue first aside from the bread of course.
I hope you find my opinion and tips useful. Until next time I wish you happy eating!

Fresh Veggies
Welcome to Food&Fire!
This is our very first posting, this weeks post is all about freshness and the best way to get there! I chose this topic because of the story behind it, as a child I grew up on a sizable farm in rural Kansas. When we relocated to Washington my father also kept a garden and various fruit trees and bushes, as I grew older the gardens got smaller and smaller each year until there was almost no sign of one at all. As my passion for cooking and whole foods began to blossom I spent a lot of time reminising on the seasons of the past and the abundance of food that our garden provided. Desperately wanting the satisfaction of growing my own food, I did just that! A very good friend of mine reffered this book to me called "Gardening By The Foot"and in this book was a wealth of information on maximizing space in your garden(i could go on about it but it's too lengthy) answering a lot of looming questions that were troubling me. OK...so enough about me, if you require the best for you and your loved ones here's the most efficient way to get it!
