It really is quick and easy

I've only tried a couple of recipes, but so far they have been better than most of my local sushi joints. Allow yourself a little extra time the first couple of go 'rounds, if you are not familiar with making sushi or sushi rolls. However, if you are interested in this book, you don't mind the journey of becoming a better cook.

Sushi for beginners

There really isn't anything bad you can write about this book. There's a short history of sushi, a primer showing you the condiments which come with sushi and how to eat it. In the rest of the book, the author shows you how to roll your own. The author shows you how to make the classical nigiri sushi (raw seafood on top of rice), maki sushi (sushi rolls), ura maki sushi (sushi rolls with the rice on the outside) and temaki sushi which looks like an ice cream cone. There are pictures which show how to present the different types of sushi. The author also suggests other ingredients which can be used such as duck breast. This book is a good value for the money, and there really isn't anything bad I can write about it.

Good book but....

This is a nice little book and has a couple of real gems in it. However it has only 64 pages and not the 795 shown in the description. Looks like there's been a little confusion with the price...
