Book Reviews of Sushi: Taste and Techniques

Book Review: A must-read for anyone who makes &/or eats sushi
Summary: 5 Stars

The description of the process a person must undergo in Japan before becoming a full-fledged master sushi chef gives one a greater appreciation of this most Japanese of foods.

Ian O'Leary's photography is superb and mouthwatering, and because each step of the recipe is accompanied by a photo, it makes following the recipe seem almost effortless/idiot-proof. The book includes an explanation of the types of ingredients, especially fish, which are used, as well as each implement that is necessary, including possible substitutes.

As expected of DK Publishing, this is a book that visual learners will love. Kimiko Barber's clear and spare prose makes quite a difference in encouraging nonprofessionals such as myself to attempt to make sushi. Hiroki Takemura-sensei's expertise and love for his craft is evident in the pictures.

In a time when it is so easy to pull out recipes from the internet, this remains one of my few cherished cookbooks.
