Product Description
Preparing sushi is more than mere cooking--it's an art, a creative act of beautifully presenting colors, textures, subtle tastes, and unmatched sensations. Every page here shares that refined philosophy, so it not only shows you how to make a feast for your friends, it is a feast for the eyes. Even the small line drawings accompanying the luscious photography--which show in detail how to create each perfect piece of sushi--seem infused with the elegant feel of Japanese culture. Immerse yourself in the lifestyle as you learn how to wrap, make, and arrange delicacies such as nigiri-sushi out of fish (yellowtail, salmon, tuna, surf clam, flounder, or prawn) and vinegared rice; thick futomaki, hosomaki (omelette), and fish and vegetable rolls; a battleship wrap stuffed with roe; inside-out rolls; a California hand roll with ripe avocado and crab; and soups. With advice on setting an eye-catching table to complete the wonderful atmosphere.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic sushi book for beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sushi Made Easy (Paperback)
A great book to start you off with sushi, constantly referring back to give you new exciting ideas. It also has a good reference section for fish suppliers and suppliers of the various sushi ingredients. Simple, colourful and well laid out, my personal sushi partner.

a very good start,

This review is from: Sushi Made Easy (Paperback)
A really nice book to start off with if you have really never made sushi before - it gives you as much background information on the importance of rice, fish, wasabi and nori etc as it does on how to actually make the sushi. Just be warned that there are no step - by - step photos, the only colour pictures are of the finished product, but there are a couple of pencil drawn step - by - step guides. A brilliant product if you're not sure sushi cooking is your thing and you don't want to invest in a big book yet - although having bought this book I now want to!

4.0 out of 5 stars
pretty good, pretty basic,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sushi Made Easy Book & Kit with Book(s) and Other (Paperback)
If you were looking for a book with specific recipes, this is not the book. Everything in this book is presented very flexibly, with only a mere suggestion list after the basic preparation of things. There are pros and its cons to this because you know the basics and you can be really creative and you know where you can be really creative. The bad thing is, you would like to have more specific recipes for things that you find in the restaurant such as California Roll and Crunchy Roll, which, granted, are western modifications, but still. The other complaint is that when they talk about making miso soup all the pictures show wakame seaweed in the soup, but no where in that section (or anywhere in the book for that matter) does it say that wakame can also be put in the miso soup. I had to do some real creative investigation just to find out what that green stuff was. PS. I bought this book because it was cheaper than any other sushi cookbook I found at the store AND it comes with the KIT part. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

SUSHI MADE EASY by Kumfoo Wong,
By thepaxdomini "The Book Review" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sushi Made Easy (Paperback)
Sushi Made Easy, by Kumfoo Wong, is an introductory guide to preparing and presenting sushi. The book is targeted to beginners, and at only 80 pages, is completely manageable.
Sushi Made Easy provides an introduction to the more prominent sushi ingredients and kitchen utensils and equipment needed, as well as advice on selecting suitable fish to be used raw. There is a great deal of emphasis here on appearance and presentation. Sushi Made Easy covers nigiri-sushi, sushi rolls, hand rolls, rolled sweet omelet, and soups. The book is fully-illustrated, and features step-by-step instructions for making each recipe. Sushi Made Easy is an excellent introduction for anyone who wants to make sushi at home. It is also available through Amazon as part of sushi starter kits that include utensils and equipment. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:

Good for beginners,
By D. Williams "donkeymeow" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sushi Made Easy Book & Kit with Book(s) and Other (Paperback)
This book does a pretty good job at helping the inexperinced sushi chef, particularly with getting the rice correct. I agree with the other reviewer - it would have been nice to know more about making eel. Another downside is the poor illustrations and limited instructions for actually forming the rolls, but other than that I would recommend it for someone starting out because it comes with the basic tools you need. It is a good kit, especially for the price.
