“The building blocks for the perfect sandwich are all here: ripe tomato slices, a delicious and affordable protein and a luscious home-made mayonnaise on fresh, white bread. This will make an envy-provoking work lunch with not much more than a little fruit salad on the side. Another way to enjoy these sandwiches is to toast them in a pan and add a fried egg.”- Khanya Mzongwana
