Summary: An excellent, gorgeous book
Comment: (should be 4 and 1/2 stars) As someone who is already familiar with the basics of preparing sushi at home, I found this book to be an absolute delight! A small section is devoted to tools, ingredients, rice, selecting and preparing fish, many recipes for sushi and sashimi, and even soup! I was hoping that green tea, sake and edamame would be discussed, but nonetheless this book is not a disappointment. The author, a Sydney sushi chef, explains that a sushi apprentice learns to be a chef by carefully watching his master work, and then repeatedly experimenting himself. A sushi apprenticeship in Japan lasts seven years. Knowing this, it makes sense that one cannot expect to find in any one book everything you need to know to duplicate the sushi at your favorite bar. With this book, however, you can create delicious sushi your own way at home. I recommend it to people at all levels of home sushi preparation, or even sushi connoiseurs who do not prepare it themselves at home, as it also makes a great coffee table book. Vegetarians will be happy with this book as well, there are many wonderful vegetable nigiri-zushi and maki-zushi recipes in this book, and instructions on how to make vegetarian dashi. And while I can't promise that this book will make your child anxious to try sushi, my 2 year old and I looked at this book together, then made some sushi, and she ate every bite on her plate. "Yummy Zushi!" she exclaimed. Indeed it is.

Summary: an attractive, well-constructed overview of sushi making
Comment: This book is a good starter for those who are interested in making sushi at home. "Sushi" also has very attractive photography, so it can also double as a coffee table book. I would recommend it, although I'm not certain if the book contains enough information about selecting fresh fish for sushi, since it is really dangerous to eat any raw fish that isn't absolutely fresh.

Summary: Good basics sushi cookbook for your collection
Comment: This was a good cookbook that covered the basics of making sushi. Things like equipment & utensils to use, ingredients explanations, how to fillet fish, cleaning squid, etc. There were a few creative ideas but for a creative sushi display but not for unique sushi rolls. Buying this book used and adding to your collection would be worth spending the money.
