What Others Say
Good Book with Limitations
This is a good book to get you started on your sushi career. It has lots of valuable tips on what you need and the procedures, but once you get that under your belt, I found the recipes could be less 'poofy' and more substantial. But if you need help learning how to season your rice, or about the various styles of sushi that's out there, its a nice book for your collection.
Sushi for Dummies
Excellent book! it really covers everything and more that you need to know about making sushi! Easy and fun to read. It covers everything, from how to pronounce some needed words, what materials you need, where to buy them (not very useful unless you live in the USA), how to prepare rice, to exotic recipes. It is just great!
easy and detailed
This is a great product because it provided exactly what I was looking for. It was easy enough to be a beginner book but detailed with enough information to be helpful beyond the beginner level.
My favorite part is that they offer a lot of vocabulary with definitions and pronunciations that makes eating sushi in a sushi place much easier. So it provides information applicable to both eating out and eating in.
Overall a great find. I would definitely recommend it for a beginner who is looking for more than the over simplified version.
quick and easy!!!
i am fortunate enough to live awhile in japan and know good sushi!!! plus it is so inexpensive here of course!!! i wanted to have good reference once i leave here, so i got Sushi for Dummies!!!! totally helpful!!! now, when i crave the sushi i know and love....i can pull out Sushi for Dummies and have my own guide anywhere i go in the world!
Great even for non-dummies!
Don't let the title fool you -- this is the best book I've seen for explaining how to make sushi rolls for the first time. I had never done one before, or even seen it done, and Sushi for Dummies had me making rolls in just a few minutes. No, they weren't all perfect, but practice helps too!
