 This book is indeed complete! December 26, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this book for my sushi-loving-husband as a Christmas gift so that he can make his own sushi. This book is a great investment for the sushi lover. The author's recipes are complete and her directions for making sushi are impeccable.
Especially helpful were her directions for making sushi rice - it came out beautifully! She provides instructions for making perfect rice whether you have a rice cooker or not. This was especially valuable because you do not need "special" rice for making sushi (I've seen so-called sushi rice in grocery stores for ridiculous prices!).
The most difficult part of the process for us was rolling the sushi. She explains how to do this very clearly.
Overall a great book with gorgeous pictures and helpful directions!
Beautiful book, with great directions! October 10, 2007

This is a beautiful book--artsy enough to be a coffee table book, but it's full of outstanding directions on making your own sushi (everything from ingredients--what they are, where to get them, and how to use--to making the sushi and how to present it in a traditional style). It's so pretty that it's very motivating and inspiring. I gave this to my parents as a gift, and they loved it! This is the only book you need to learn to make sushi!
 Totally impractical. August 10, 2007

Wow stunning photos but what a lousy cookbook. If you like looking at pictures of sushi, this book is for you. If you like actually eating or making sushi, then this huge book is totally impractical in the kitchen.
 Lovely pictures May 30, 2007

The explanations are pretty good, but what sets this book apart is the pictures: large, beautiful and varied. After reading reviews for this book and for the rather unlikely Sushi for Dummies, I elected to purchase both, this one for illustrations and admittedly decent content and the other book because, after all, "dummy" pretty well describes me.
 Very Unhappy With This Book It has None Of The Main Roll Recipes May 29, 2007
9 out of 13 found this review helpful
Today I received this book it has none of the main sushi roll recipes (spicy tuna roll, normal california roll, hawaiian roll, tiger roll, dynamite roll, pizza roll, crunchy shrimp rolls, etc. etc. etc.) mainly vegitarian rolls, and sashimi.
It does have nice pictures too bad it doesn't have good recipes. I am very disappointed with this book and am returning it.
