Book Reviews of Sushi For Dummies
Book Review: Great Resource
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a fantastic resource (and a terrific value at under $12)! I am brand new to sushi - I have eaten it several times out at restaurants...but I've never tried making it at home. And even with eating it at Japanese restaurants, I was/am still pretty much a novice.
The book explains EVERYTHING. It's about as comprehensive as you can get - covering everything from the history of sushi...to explaining Japanese words and names...to breaking down the equipment/materials that you need to make sushi at home...to providing step-by-step instructions...to including some really terrific recipes. It's written in an easy-to-understand style (you don't need to be a sushi chef to understand it). Even the layout is easy to follow - as the topics go in a sequential kind of order (they build on each other).
In addition to all of this, the authors were thorough enough to include website information where one can purchase absolutely everything imaginable (equipment, supplies, fish, seafood, and other necessary ingredients)! The website info alone would be worth the cost of the book - as I for one don't seem to have much access to sashimi-grade fish & seafood where I live. Prior to the book, I had already gone out an bought a rice cooker, bamboo rolling mats, serving sets, wooden spoons, hangiri tub, etc. (a lot of which I purchased here on Amazon). But in terms of the actual fish needed for sushi, I wasn't really sure where to buy it (and which stores or companies were trustworthy in terms of product freshness and reliability). "Sushi for Dummies" has solved that dilemna for me. I've already gone to one of the multiple websites detailed in the book and have placed an order for bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, salmon, and a couple kinds of roe! What good would this book be if you couldn't find the ingredients or supplies needed to actually make the sushi? The authors take care of that with the website info they provide.
Seriously, you really can't go wrong with this purchase. I'm so happy to have this book - and kudos to the authors who wrote it!
