Author Notes
This is a big meaty sandwich. I love an Italian hero or hoagie this is my take on that sandwich.I saw some really beautiful water cress at the market so added that to this sandwich it has a peppery slightly spicy taste that goes well with the meat. It keeps really well and actually tastes better hours after making it. Great for a picnic! —sdebrango

I have loved to cook for as long as I can remember, am self taught learning as I go. I come from a large Italian family and food was at the center of almost every gathering. My grandfather made his own wine and I remember the barrels of wine in the cellar of my grandfathers home, I watched my mother and aunts making homemade pasta and remember how wonderful it was to sit down to a truly amazing dinner. Cooking for me is a way to express myself its my creative outlet. I enjoy making all types of food but especially enjoy baking,
I live in Brooklyn, NY, and I share my home with my two dogs Izzy and Nando.
I like to collect cookbooks and scour magazines and newspapers for recipes. I hope one day to organize them.
