1.0 out of 5 stars Not very funny, if it was a joke. . ., February 12, 2000

. . .And really that's the only way I can imagine the reasoning behind this book; as a joke, or maybe on a dare. the author did her very best to put together a list of sushi rolls that might be found appealing to the westerner. . . With little success. Peanut butter and Jelly? I won't even justify that with the much deserved "PUHHHLEEEEEEEASE"!

The book is short of facts, shorter on technique and devoid of any history whatsoever.

Well over half the rolls are either western concoctions or creations straight from the author's imagination. Some of my fav's being the "Eggs McSushi Roll" (Tamago), the "Anchovy and Sun dried Tomato Roll", the "Mussel Shoals Roll" and what Japanese cookbook would be complete without the "Prosciutto and Cantaloupe Roll". . . There's always the "Blackened Catfish Roll" for those of you with a taste for Cajun Sushi. And for you Brit's, how about the "Tomato and Cucumber Roll". . . Try it with beans.

Did I really spend 4 bucks on this?

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the four dollars, February 8, 2000

By	Kathryn Stauber (Texas) - See all my reviews

I think a better book on sushi could have been written by a dyslexic ape. It seems like the author, never having seen sushi, did some web browsing and wrote a book. There are recipes in this book for PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SUSHI ROLLS. It's beyond wrong. BACON, LETTUCE, AND TOMATO SUSHI ROLLS. I can only assume this book is someone's idea of a sick joke.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money!!!!, January 15, 2007

By	Jerry L. Pullam "jaylee" (Missouri) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was a joke!! It was an actual insult to Japanese cuisine. I thought that this was going to be a nice little book with recipes for some great sushi rolls, but I got surprised!! There are no pictures or diagrams what-so-ever except the one on the cover. And the sushi rolls that they have listed are horrible......"goat cheese, corn, and basil roll", "blt roll", and "peanut butter and jelly roll". Get real.
Don't even waste your money on this book. It should have a negative rating if that was possible.
