Terrific DVD for learning to make sushi at home. This was a good alternative to the confusing and frustrating sushi book I bought. I thought this video did an excellent job of clearly explaining the entire process - from describing all of the Asian products to use, to selecting fish, to how to cut the fish, to the proper way to make the rice and walking you through each step for making a good varitey of sushi. This was a lot of fun to do - an awesome date or party activity!

Also, having a DVD made it really easy to go back and review steps because there's a good detailed menu you can select from.

I originally bought the complete kit from the SushiPartyBox website, which included the DVD. I thought it was a terrific deal for all that I received and it definitely feeds a group of six and then some. My fiancee bought another video as a gift for a friend of ours from Amazon - oddly Amazon's price is cheaper for the DVD than direct. The video is meant for sushi
beginners - it is not for advanced sushi experts by any means. In about 30 minutes we learned everything there is to know about rolling your typical sushi rolls. I recommend it if you are getting started and don't have immediate aspirations to become a sushi chef. Good fun!

I had no idea that Sushi....which my boyfriend and I enjoy so much was actually so easy to make. We watched the video and went to their site...bought the rest of the kit and threw a party (where else do you buy all the goodies?)!! We all had a great time and rolled some pretty funny looking sushi (which still tasted great)...we had a great time and are planning on getting together as couples once a month for our sushi FIX!!

The information and instruction given on the video is simple and straight forward for someone wanting to make simple homemade sushi. It's not a jazzed up, entertaining food show like on the Food Network, but a focused and sometimes slow paced instructional program. Having previously taken a hands-on 3 hour sushi making class at a local kitchen supply store-based cooking school, I can say the video's information seemed accurate and sufficient. Having also recently hosted a large group sushi making party for my first time, I know this video would have been helpful to have on hand to show everyone how to construct the sushi and also how to properly prepare the rice, although this video gives virtually zero information on how to organize, shop for, set up, and host a sushi making party. If you don't have any friends who already know how to make sushi and are willing to show you how, then buy this program. If you do have such friends, save your money and ask them first for their help, because this is an overpriced DVD.
