Sushi or New Vegetarian Cuisine

Sushi

Author: Ryuichi Yoshii

This stylish book includes information on the history and health benefits of sushi, as well as tips on how to make perfect sushi rice, select the freshest fish, and decorate the sushi plate with beautiful vegetable garnishes.

Sushi, like other culinary endeavors, is an art form in Japan. Now, with this practical guide, you can make your own sushi at hom, using Sushi's step-by-step instructions and photographs to show you how to make a variety of dishes. The recipes are easy to follow and are suitable for both beginners and experienced cooks. Filled with elegant photographs, this beautifully designed volume is a must-have for your cookbook collection.
