5Sushi Cookbook by Yamamoto and Hicks  May 06, 2000

Although I love sushi, my mastercard is not everywhere I want to be. Making sushi at home is fun and much more economical. The Sushi Cookbook gives fundamental terminology, tools, and techniques that allow basic sushi to be made at home. It beautifully illustrates in 4 to 5 mini- "step-by-step" pictures how to make basic rolls, finger sushi, garnish and soups with one grand colorful picture of how it is "supposed" to turn out. The text, ingredient list, and pictures all leave the viewer confident that he/she has enough information to actaully make it.....but the Artistry must be learned with patience, grasshopper! It does not go into how to purchase quality fish products safely but does give terminology. Nor does it go much beyond basic sushi favorites (ie specialty rolls).

3I want a Sushi book!  Jul 31, 2007
By Jacob Pehrson
I am looking for a book on how to make sushi at my house! Although this essentially walked me through all the basics of making sushi a lot of the book was taken up by none sushi recipes. It included sushi history, soups, decorative garnishes, etc. (and only a page or two of each). It only had 9 rolls (maki-zushi) and slightly more nigiri. I also didn't like the how the book flowed. I would like a step-by-step guide but this seemed to bounce around a little. If you are looking for a book that covers the basics, a couple of recipes, and some extras (non-sushi related) then this book is for you. Otherwise you may want to look elsewhere.

5Starter for the novice  Oct 13, 2010
By WannaBeABetty
This is a starter book, as other reviewers have said. It goes over the simple basics of making some of your typical first recipes. After you know that much, really you can create your own combinations. Go out to a restraunt, read what they have in their rolls, and try them out at home! If you want more detailed recipes, get another more detailed book, but this one will get you started. Do yourself a favor and pick up the Joyce Chen Sushi Kit while you're at it, just to be ready!
