Book Reviews of Encyclopedia of Sushi Rolls
Book Review: This is a book on ROLLS
Summary: 5 Stars
This book not only details the essentials of how to make sushi, but also goes one step further by cramming in many, many inventive ideas for rolls.
If you are like me and keep making the same sushi year after year, month after month, this book will spark some creativity.
It is true that the ingredients in the rolls do not mimic what you will find at your local american sushi restaurant - no philly cream cheese, no glistening roe over an avocado-covered roll - you can find these recipes easily on the web, however.
This book offers a really imaginative way to present the rolls.
I don't even eat fish, but with the myriad pictures and new ways to roll your ingredients together (think stained glass sushi - or origami sushi rolls) you will be so happy you bought this book. It's a great way to refresh eating rolls, and it's fun - there are beautiful illustrations (well, this book is dated, but not super super old!) It's really fun, especially if you are vegetarian (and have imagination with using veggies instead of meat)
Note - there are no nigiri, no chirashi, etc... All rolls - Large, thin, hand, inside-out, a whole large section on decorative including amazing amazing flowers, animals, transporation vehicles, leaves, fruits, trees - there's even a section on chinese astrology animals and the A-Z alphabet, japanese symbols for Celebration, Felicitations, Sho and Gatsu - and of course, a small chirstmas section - Bell, CAndle and stocking. Super fun.
