Book Reviews of Sushi For Dummies
Book Review: "For Dummies" marches on!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the first "For Dummies" book I've seen with pictures. It's a nice try, but I wouldn't make this my only sushi cookbook. The explanations are pretty good and well in keeping with the "for dummies" tradition. I think sometimes they waffle a little bit on principles (saying one thing, but then admitting that they do it another way).
After reading reviews for this rather unlikely book and for another book with reputedly superb photography, I elected to purchase both and I wasn't disappointed: the other book with the amazing illustrations wasn't expensive and the two really complement each other: The Complete Book Of Sushi! The price is right: buy both.
Book Review: Everything about sushi, from A to Z!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow. I just finished reading Sushi For Dummies, and was amazed at just how much I learned. The authors have created what must be THE most complete and detailed guide to sushi available anywhere at any price -- and they have done so in a highly readable way, with just the right amount of humor. If you've ever been curious about sushi -- all the different ingredients and styles of sushi, how to make proper sushi rice (an important step in the process, which merits an entire chapter in this book), safe handling techniques, cutting and storing, history and traditions, proper sushi bar etiquette, and much, much more, then you will do no better than buying this book. Five stars!Book Review: I thought I'd be making sushi at home
Summary: 5 Stars
After years of my husband asking me to learn how to make sushi at home, I discovered Sushi For Dummies. Was I surprised when my husband started reading the book. Just as I thought he was going to give me a list of what recipes he favored for me making, he said, "Let's go to a sushi bar, I just read all about it and know what to do.". So hats off and thanks to these authors for giving me a night out. But I can't wait to make some of the fabulous sounding recipes at home, like Crystallized Ginger Creme Brulee, Sake Brownie Souffles, and Grilled Yellowtail Sushi Tamales with Spicy Mango Salsa.Book Review: Sushi demystified
Summary: 5 Stars
This book actually gives you enough information to go to a sushi bar and NOT be a barbarian. It's easy to read and understand, and well organized. If you want to go the extra mile and prepare your own sushi, the directions are clear and easy to follow, with tons of side information (like how to know if the fish is REALLY fresh) and fun ideas. I found the part on correctly making the vinegared rice especially helpful, and the diagrams on how to cut things are great! There is also a section on manners which I found fascinating. This book is interesting as well as useful!Book Review: easy and detailed
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product because it provided exactly what I was looking for. It was easy enough to be a beginner book but detailed with enough information to be helpful beyond the beginner level.
My favorite part is that they offer a lot of vocabulary with definitions and pronunciations that makes eating sushi in a sushi place much easier. So it provides information applicable to both eating out and eating in.
Overall a great find. I would definitely recommend it for a beginner who is looking for more than the over simplified version.
