This book gave me all of the information I needed to cook and enjoy seaweed. Before I purchased this book, I had no idea all of the varied ways to prepare and serve this nutritous vegetable. The best recipie was the "Sushi Salad". I loved it! It tastes just like sushi without needing all of the time to prepare those "new wave" looking finger foods. It was so easy I started packing my yoga instructor husbands lunch. He loves it and encourages me to also make "marinated seapalm fronds" for special occassions.

Great concept! A cookbook new to most people but its delicacy have been enjoyed for thousands of years .Having been brought up to eat a lot of marine life myself, including cooked and raw sea vegetables. This is a great book to celebrate the bounty of the sea floor. Recipes are mostly Japanese cuisine, has no image pictures, can be hard to identify the name of plants (that is if you try to identify them while you are in the ocean) . With this book , you are not expected to fish out and gather your ingredients from the sea. That explains the sea food ingredients here are bi products and have been processed for easy handling. You can of course eat a variety of sea vegetables straight from the sea cooked or raw, but you have to know which ones.. The book is a great concept, but leaves out a lot to be desired. There is plenty to know about sea vegetable cooking! Nevertheless, great book to have, read, and keep in your library. Enjoy!
