Review Quotes

"Bought this book for my oldest son to learn how to make sushi. We took it to our local Japanese grocery store and presented it to the owner who is from Japan and he reviewed some of the recipes and advised us that that is authentically how you make sushi and miso soup!" -- Customer Review

"I already own serious sushi reference books, but this has become my new favorite and it is the book that I'll grab off my shelf whenever I make sushi. It feels comfortable and easy to use and it hits all the basics of the restaurant standards, with a fresh updated collection that includes rainbow, dynamite and dragon rolls plus tasty sauces, and some really good recipes for soups and sides. The book format is very user friendly, from info placement on the page, to the standout bullet points, and large progressive pictures you can actually see well enough to follow, even if it's your first time. Twice in the last 48 hours I made platters with 5 types of sushi using some of the sauces and they got rave reviews from my happy family." -- Customer Review
