5.0 out of 5 stars A fun alternative to formal sushi., November 2, 2000
By Soggyinseattle (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
I recently bought Fun & Fancy Sushi after I discovered that I am sensitive to wheat products, much like an allergy.

Fun & Fancy Sushi offers easy alternatives to the sushi one usually finds at a sushi bar in a Japanese restaurant. If the thought of eating raw fish is worrisome, this is the book for you, because with the exception of fish roe, the ingredients are either vegetable, cooked fish or meat. Many of the sushi recipes offered are balls of rice (the Japanese equivalent to sandwiches) with various flavorings added. In addition, there are recipes for more elaborate and colorful sushi for parties.

Along with the recipes, the authors include tips on how to properly cook in a rice cooker, as well as historical information and regional variations. The numerous color photos on almost every page are enticing and helpful.

My only warning is that this book is probably best for those who have tried to cook Asian food before, since there are a few things left out, like what kind of rice to use. For instance, Uncle Ben's rice will not do, you'll need to use either the cal-rose rice or jasmine rice for these recipes to work. Also, if you do not have access to an Asian market, and you lack some creativity, you might be puzzled by some (not all) of the recipes. I've given it rating of 5 stars because I've looked at a number of similar books, and this one is the best I've seen. It gives traditional and modern recipes without being too outlandish (one book I saw had a recipe for Nutella sushi).

Overall, it's a good cookbook and it will provide you with some healthful alternatives to a grilled cheese sandwich, as well as some fun additions to your party that will amaze your friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple and Fun book, April 26, 2000
By Michelle E. Lee (Burbank, CA) - See all my reviews
This book is really simple in terms of teaching you about the art of sushi. In addition to that, it has some really fun things that you can make. I had never thought of sushi as an art until I saw this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative fun ways to make sushi!, April 17, 2002
By creativedawn (Bullhead City, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
Great sushi cookbook with photos for every recipe! Lots of creative sushi ideas for holidays & other special occasions. Colorful rice & decorating ideas can be used for tasty meals or snacks. There are also recipes for other foods that can accompany sushi. One of my favorite desert items was "Deep Fried Sesame Dumplings" is often served in asian restaurants.

One thing missing from this cookbook is the recipe for "sakura-denbu" (mashed & seasoned fish) which if you have the "Sushi For Parties" book it's called "Oboro" on page 25. If you don't have that cook book here's the recipe:

Oboro Ingredients: 7 oz (200g) ground white flesh fish, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp sake, dash red food coloring. Directions: Wrap ground fish in a cloth & wash in water using a squeezing action. Change water twice & get rid of fat. Squeeze out excess water & grind in a mortar. Add food coloring dissolved in sake & sugar, grind so that the color becomes uniform. Transfer to a saucepan & cook over low heat. Mix well with chopsticks until fluffy. Spread on a tray & let cool.

I highly recommend this cookbook! It's well worth adding to your cookbook collection. Your family & friends will enjoy all the fun sushi you can make! :)
