Summary: A good, simple cookbook
Comment: "Japanese Vegetarian Cooking: From Simple Soups to Sushi" is a fantastic beginners guide. The language is simple, the instructions easy to follow and the ingredients easy to find. Many recipes use Sake, Japanese Mirin wine and varieties of Tofu and Seaweed. These are the most difficult ingredients to locate.
Although the recipes are simple, they are very good and can be the base of a daily Japanese menu. Full dinners, snacks, lunches, soups and all that are available for cooking. Rice is a main component of most of the dishes, but there are some excellent potato recipes and more vegetable-rich dishes. The glossary of ingredients is a usefull addition.
I have made many meals using this cookbook, and I will make many more.

Summary: Good resource
Comment: This is a good cookbook - one I appreciated finding since there aren't many japanese vegetarian cookbooks out there! First, the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 ios because I really like to have more pictures when it comes to ethnic cooking. It not only gets me interested in trying new things but also gives me ideas for presentation. This book only has 8 pages of pictures. But that aside, the recipes are tasty. Some of the ingredients are hard to find (like the specific types of seaweed) but if you have an asian store near you'll find what you need. I've found some things on the internet too (the world at your finger tips!) I recently bought a deep fyer and am looking forward to trying out some of the deep fried tofu recipes. You need to like tofu I think to get the best use out of this book since there is a lot in here. I recommed it though - fun to experiement and try new things.

Summary: Hey, sushi lovers -- ya gotta try this!
Comment: I grew up eating Japanese and Hawaiian cuisine 20 years before they became popular. This is the best Japanese cookbook I've ever come across for a number of reasons: 1) sushi-making is set forth so simply here, a child could follow it, 2) the major types of Japanese fare are included in this book in such way as to please the most Western of palates, 3) the recipes readily lend themselves to meat and seafood variations and 4) the ingredients are fairly easy to find at regular supermarkets or whole foods markets. However, when making any sushi roll recipe, you really do need to invest in a bamboo rolling mat (I got mine for a couple of bucks from AsiaFoods.com) and a bag of koshihikari (sushi rice -- I get mine in 5 lb. bags at my local Stop 'n' Shop). If you get the equipment and follow the tips in this book, you'll make a perfect roll the first time you try.
If you like sushi but don't like driving 20 miles to find a sushi bar and, once you get there, don't like the prices, then this is THE cookbook for you!
