Less can be more

It's easy to assume the more meat and cheese on a sandwich, the better. However, the key to a great sandwich is balance. It means sometimes holding back on your most decadent ingredients.

• For example, with the beef dip sandwich with taleggio, you have to be very sparing with taleggio because it's really intense and can take over the whole sandwich.
• The temperature will also affect the sandwich. A hot sandwich needs a bit more protein because it cooks and melts down into the bread. With a cold sandwich, the protein doesn't change at all.
