This review is from: Sushi! (Hardcover)

Before I tried to make Sushi for the first time, I had imagined that it would be incredibly difficult. Guess what? It's not. This book is a good guide not only to help you make sushi but to learn to identify the various types of the Japanese treat that has been uniformly named sushi.

The author explains the basic method for preparing the rice, the equipment needed as well as the various types including Nigiri, Maki-Mono, Chirashi and more. I personally had bought a used copy of this book and couldn't have been happier after paying 3 bucks for this gem!
