Sushi at Home: A Mat-to-Table Sushi Cookbook Paperback – July 25, 2015

I don't eat much sushi and it has been years since I have had any so I was excited to read this book so that I could try it at home. This book is good for beginners, in my opinion, because it has all of the information that you will need to make this in the comfort of your own kitchen. It tells you what ingredients you'll need as well as the equipment you will need to make the specific dish that you're trying. I loved finding out that there is even vegetarian sushi for my friends that don't eat meat! I loved how detailed the reviews are as well.Not only did the book have recipes for me to try, it also had a history lesson of sorts on the origins of sushi. It even brought up Jiro Ono, who is known as the world's best sushi chef. Side note, if you haven't seen the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi, watch it!! I never knew how much WORK actually went into preparing sushi. It was a phenomonal documentary and was a great compliment to the book, I think. It was great to find out the etiquette when eating at a sushi bar as well. It was good that it had pictures for you to show the steps to making sushi. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I can't wait to try out more of the recipes with my sushi loving friends.I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review, all thoughts are my own.

Sushi has become quite popular here int he United States. As a matter of fact, a lot of grocery stores now have a section with freshly prepared sushi on a daily basis. But wouldn't it be great if you could make it at home? Well now you can. Sushi At Home is a wonderful book that teaches you step by step what you need to know about making sushi, in this easy to follow along book. At first glance, sushi can look a bit intimidating. You will be surprised at how simple it can be to prepare. You may not know it, but not all sushi is raw, however for those who do love eating raw sushi, there is are wonderful recipes, and the book also tells you how to select the freshest fish. One of my favorites happens to be the California roll, and it is very easy to make at home. As a matter of fact, I make it quite often and it's always a hit. One of the things I love about this book, is it tells you exactly what you need from start to finish in order to create mouth watering sushi at home. You will learn the proper technique for cooking the sushi rice. You will learn about the different types of sushi and sashimi. This is a great book with lots of tips and techniques, perfect for anyone who enjoys sushi.I received this book free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

I have never made sushi before in my life and although I absolutely love eating sushi this book is definitely not great for someone with absolutely no experience making it. I would definitely recommend it for someone who has prior knowledge of making sushi since the recipes and other aspects of the book are great. Sadly when it comes to teaching you how to make the sushi the book falls flat. There are illustrations of how to filet and slice fish, and roll sushi, and make a variety of kinds of sushi however they are hand drawn, not actual pictures and they really don't help me at all. Maybe it's my learning style since I am a very visual and hands on learner but the illustrations just confuse me.Otherwise I think it's a very well written book with great sushi recipes. My sushi hasn't been pretty but it has tasted good! The recipes the book have great descriptions of the ingredients for the recipes including what kind of rice is best, how to cook sushi rice, the best types of fish to use, what equipment you need to make the sushi, and even the best knifes to use. The directions for the recipes themselves are quite detailed and well written. I think if I had someone teach me how to properly make the sushi that this book would be a very useful resource for delicious recipes! *I received this book at a discount in exchange for my honest review

I love sushi but always felt intimidated when going to a sushi restaurant. As such, I would always order the 'safe' thing: a California roll. Every once in a while I would venture outside of my comfort zone and order something that just sounded good. Sometimes I liked it, other times I did not. This book helped me get a better understanding of the different varieties of sushi and how they are prepared. While the book explained that a master sushi chef takes 10 years to complete his education, this book helped me create some simple sushi dishes at home almost immediately. I am now experimenting with rolls other than the traditional California roll, and have developed new favorites.The hardest part to master for me was to get the perfect consistency of rice. This book gave some great tips on how to correct that and explained what went wrong with each of the typical errors (too mushy, too clumpy, etc).Great book!Sushi at Home book received in exchange for an unbiased review. No financial compensation is EVER accepted, and vendor may request that item be returned. I reserve 4 and 5 star ratings for products I would either recommend to others or buy for myself. This is a great book that I would highly recommend!

I have always loved sushi, but have not made it myself. This book gives you step by step instructions on how to prepare each recipe, as well as some cartoon like picture instructions too. It teaches you the history of sushi, as well as the different equipment and ingredients that you'll need. It teaches you how to slice and prepare your fish, and how to make sushi rice, as well as brown sushi rice.I do wish that the author would have included pictures of the actual finished recipes. All in all, this is a great book on sushi!I received this for the purpose of review. All opinions are 100% my own, based on my personal experience with the book "Sushi at Home: A Mat-to-Table Sushi Cookbook" , and I absolutely recommend it to anyone interested in making their own sushi.
