Mary Berg believes that sandwich possibilities are endless. She stacks her recipe lineup with Tuna Niçoise Sandwich, a French Riviera salad staple thrown onto crusty ciabatta, a Classic Muffuletta -- aka charcuterie board on a bun -- that can feed a crowd with its layers of meats, cheeses and pickled things, a Curried Chickpea and Artichoke Pita wrapped up with mango chutney and some greens, and Turkey Patty Melts that cross a burger with a grilled cheese on marble rye.
A perfect side dish can make a lasting impression! Mary Berg lets the sides take center stage, starting with Crispy Sweet Potatoes and a spicy chipotle mayo for dunking. Then, Mary takes a savory flip on French upside-down cake with her Pear and Shallot Tarte Tatin. Plus, Roasted Carrots and Greens with Haloumi are jazzed up on a bed of tangy yogurt, and a Tomato-Tomato Salad gets drizzled with a double dose of dressing.
