From viral meme to one of the year’s most exciting new YouTube series, Idiot Sandwich is the ultimate cookbook dedicated to that special heaven served up between two slices of bread.

When the whole world watches that exchange, it inspires a viral meme, then the internet’s favorite culinary competition show, and now--finally--this cookbook.

Divided into simple, idiot-proof sections, this cookbook will teach you how to make the best sandwiches for morning, noon, and night--and hey, you can even reward yourself with one of our sweet treats, after.
