The next time you’re in San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles or Chicago you won’t have to guess where to go for a good sandwich. That’s because mobile city-specific editions of my Great American Sandwich Guide for those four cities have just launched on the Foodspotting app!

Whenever I visit a new restaurant, I love to preview the menu items on Foodspotting via photos that others have shared. Now that my Great American Sandwich Guide is loaded onto Foodspotting all you have to do is open the app on your iPhone or Android device and you’ll have easy access to the top sandwich picks in SF, NYC, LA or Chicago from Panini Happy readers and other local sandwich fans.

Read on for the simple steps to access the new mobile guides. (NOTE: You can still always find the full guide covering cities nationwide right here on Panini Happy).

Clearly, you guys love your comfort food! Mac and cheese was, by far, the most popular comfort food mentioned in last week’s “Simply Suppers” cookbook giveaway. Guess it’s a good thing that’s the image they used for the book cover – I’m ready for a forkful just thinking about it.

Random.org selected entry #2 as our cookbook winner – congrats to Julie from Willow Bird Baking! Julie’s favorite comfort food? You guessed it: “Macaroni and cheese, without a doubt!!”

The end of the month is near, which means we’re almost at the conclusion of the Get Dinner on the Table series. I still have one more delicious dinner panini recipe for you!

Thanks to everyone for submitting your tasty flavor-boosting ideas in last week’s High Flavor, Low Labor giveaway. It’s a pretty compelling concept – use flavorful ingredients to start and it’ll take you less work to make your weeknight meals taste good.

Random.org selected entry #20 to win a copy of High Flavor, Low Labor, by J.M. Hirsch…congratulations to Cindy! Her favorite flavor-boosting ingredient is tried and true:

“If I have to narrow down to one ingredient I use in everything it would be salt. I may not always use a lot of but it’s something I think definitely adds flavor when you need it.”

I’ve got more dinnertime panini and one or two more giveaways to round out the rest of Get Dinner on the Table month – stay tuned!

I was so glad to see that so many of us are intrigued by the idea of cheesemaking! There really is nothing like making things on your own from scratch. Before I announce the winner of the 30 Minute Mozzarella & Ricotta Cheesemaking Kit, I wanted to introduce you to a new website that’s dedicated to preserving this and other “old-school domestic arts”.

Punk Domestics, according to the site’s founder, my friend Sean Timberlake (of Hedonia), is “designed to be equal parts content aggregation and community for the growing segment of people (like me) who are obsessed with, er, interested in the old-school domestic arts, like canning, pickling and so forth.” I’m definitely among this segment too and I think this concept is fabulous. Now that I’m learning how to make my own cheese, it’s going to be great to have a resource and community of others who enjoy the same. Plus, maybe I’ll once and for all conquer my fear of canning!

You can submit teasers and links back to content on your own blog (if you have one) or just browse the site and interact with other “punk domestics”. If you like DIY cooking projects, definitely check it out.

And now for the winner of last week’s cheesemaking kit giveaway…

Random.org has selected entrant #41: Victoria

Here’s Victoria’s favorite dish using fresh mozzarella:

“It’s tough to pick just one favorite dish using mozzarella cheese, but perhaps I’ll go with a yummy New York style Margherita pizza! Like the one at Lombardi’s with San Marzano tomatoes and fresh basil fired in their coal oven. Oy!”

Congratulations, Victoria! Happy cheesemaking!

Sara Rosso ~ Ms. Adventures in Italy

Did you know that panini in Italy aren’t quite the same as they are in the U.S.? That they’re not always grilled? Or that they’re typically very simple, with just two or three ingredients?

I interviewed my friend Sara Rosso, an American expat living in Milan who blogs about food at Ms. Adventures in Italy and recently started the Eye on Italy podcast, for her insights on how Italians do panini.
