YO! Sushi: The Japanese Cookbook brings YO!'s delicious Japanese dishes to the home and shows you how easy it is to make your own sushi and other Japanese fare. This eye-popping book includes YO!'s most popular dishes: california rolls, salmon maki, prawn yaki soba, and chilled roasted aubergines. Original recipes encourage readers to expand their repertoire and enjoy a range of flavorsome dishes. Learn to cook soy-marinated chicken, make healthy salads such as beetroot with sweet vinegar, and impress friends with red snapper rice. Written by renowned Japanese food expert Kimiko Barber, this cookbook includes 120 delicious recipes. Forget complicated rolling or bizarrely named ingredients; Kimiko explains all the terms and shows how to make sushi rolls and other dishes through step-by-step photography. No recipe takes more than 30 minutes of preparation or requires special cooking techniques. The book is divided into six color-coded sections which reflect YO!s famous colored plates, taking the reader chapter by chapter from novice to samurai so that you can work your way up the rungs until you're rolling with gusto.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yo Sushi Cookbook, January 30, 2011

This review is from: YO! Sushi: The Japanese Cookbook (Paperback)

'Yo Sushi' is a wonderful book showing the techniques and method of Japanese cooking. It is clear to cook from and the direction and explanations are excellent. There is a brief introduction to Sushi and Japanese cooking and the terms used etc and then it's on to the recipes, which covers some from the restaurants and a few additional ones for this book. This book gradually increases in difficulty as you progress through the recipes and by the end you should be a fairly competent home sushi cook. This is beautifully illustrated with mouth watering photography and the overall design and format is very pleasing on the eye. If you like Sushi and always fancied giving it a try then this is the place to start and before long you'll be creating your own mini masterpieces to delight in and enjoy.

This review is from: YO! Sushi: The Japanese Cookbook (Paperback)

Didn't get it here, but I feel the need to tell you about this wonderful book! This book makes complicated dishes approachable and fun to cook. I've been picking about 2 new recipes a week to try out and they've all been wonderful.

I would recommend this book over many of the alternatives, especially for the price. Some books may have more recipes, but likely, they have fewer worth while recipes.

Buy it!
