Although I love sushi, my mastercard is not everywhere I want to be. Making sushi at home is fun and much more economical. The Sushi Cookbook gives fundamental terminology, tools, and techniques that allow basic sushi to be made at home. It beautifully illustrates in 4 to 5 mini- "step-by-step" pictures how to make basic rolls, finger sushi, garnish and soups with one grand colorful picture of how it is "supposed" to turn out. The text, ingredient list, and pictures all leave the viewer confident that he/she has enough information to actaully make it.....but the Artistry must be learned with patience, grasshopper! It does not go into how to purchase quality fish products safely but does give terminology. Nor does it go much beyond basic sushi favorites (ie specialty rolls).

A very easy to follow book with beautiful step-by-step colorpics. Includes how to buy and prepare sushi, including essentialkitchen equipment and ingredients (for finger sushi, sushi rolls, miso soup, etc.) ...

I have used this book only a few times because it is new to me, but make no mistake it is a good book. Easy to follow. Great pictures. I am very handy around a kitchen but even if you are nto then this is a good book for you. All the recipes you could want in a sushi book. 2 THUMBS WAY UP : )

I am looking for a book on how to make sushi at my house! Although this essentially walked me through all the basics of making sushi a lot of the book was taken up by none sushi recipes. It included sushi history, soups, decorative garnishes, etc. (and only a page or two of each). It only had 9 rolls (maki-zushi) and slightly more nigiri. I also didn't like the how the book flowed. I would like a step-by-step guide but this seemed to bounce around a little. If you are looking for a book that covers the basics, a couple of recipes, and some extras (non-sushi related) then this book is for you. Otherwise you may want to look elsewhere.

This is a starter book, as other reviewers have said. It goes over the simple basics of making some of your typical first recipes. After you know that much, really you can create your own combinations. Go out to a restraunt, read what they have in their rolls, and try them out at home! If you want more detailed recipes, get another more detailed book, but this one will get you started. Do yourself a favor and pick up the Joyce Chen Sushi Kit while you're at it, just to be ready!

very nice and received in a timely fashion, ordered sushi mats at the same time and these took two weeks extra from arrival of book, I was lucky it was not the same vendor as the book.
