Description:

The Sushi Lover's Cookbook is sure to fire the imagination of the beginner sushi cook and to stoke the passions of the experienced cook who had thought they'd tried everything. People who are fanatic about their sushi will find much to love in this exquisitely illustrated cookbook, which features traditional favorite sushi recipes—such as Inside-Out Rolls, Nigiri Sushi, Hand Rolls, Inari Sushi (Tofu Pouches)—as well as exciting new recipes with international flair.

In an accessible and friendly tone, Japanese cooking expert Yumi Umemura leads you through 85 easy recipes combining sushi rice—the key to authentic sushi—with ingredients that range from time-honored favorites to more recently popular ingredients such as avocados and smoked salmon. Many recipes reflect sushi's worldwide popularity—incorporating the diverse tastes of Thai fish sauce or French ratatouille and atypical (and yes, cooked!) sushi ingredients such as roast beef, chicken or sun-dried tomatoes.

Whether you're making the classic thick rolls or thin rolls, or experimenting with one of the author's fun and easy-to-make sushi inventions such as ball or pizza sushi, you will enjoy using and being inspired by this beautiful cookbook.

1Um, not every recipe that uses rice still counts as "sushi."  Feb 20, 2011
By SJS
I'm all for well-executed fusion cuisine, but this sushi cookbook by Yumi Umemura features some extremely odd, unappetizing recipes. Examples include "Taco Sushi" (store-bought taco shells filled with sushi rice and ground beef seasoned with ketchup and Tabasco sauce) and "Sushi Pizza" (plain white rice, flatted into a circle and covered with tomato sauce and cheese). Beyond the uninspired recipes, however, the writing in this cookbook is repetitive, stilted, and just makes for a very awkward read. It's also riddled with typos and inaccurate information (p.162: Korean sushi rolls are called "kimbap" not "kimpa"--something any quick Google search can tell you).

Overall, not a bad book if you want to know basics, like how to prepare sushi rice or roll a standard sushi roll, but there are plenty of videos online that offer a visual explanation of those very skills. This book's one redeeming quality, however, is Noboru Murata's photography--though I wouldn't touch half the recipes in this book, every last dish is beautifully photographed.

I was very pleased with my purchase of this product. The book was in excellent condition and was just what I expected when it came to the quality recipes inside. I highly reccomend this book for anyone who loves sushi and wants to make it themselves.
