The most creative sushi book I've seen

I purchased this book on a whim, wondering, "What does one do with vegetarian sushi?" The answer to that question might be, "What CAN'T one do?" I have read more than 4 books on making sushi, several of which were very favorably reviewed. Those were traditional sushi,containing fish. "Vegetarian Sushi Made Easy" incorporates many artistic possibilties. This book provides simple, step-by-step instructions on making sushi in a variety of designs. One feature that I've not seen in other books is the use of colored rice to add a new dimension of possibilities. Another lovely feature is mounds of rice "wrapped" in thin strips of vegetable...very colorful. There are directions for sushi rolls, mounds, cakes, "pizzas", stuffed tofu pockets, nori stuffed and cut open to look like figs (the fruit), and sushi rolled to incorporate designs such as hearts, ladybugs, flowers, a "free form" sushi presented much like a composed salad, and others. I took this book to work with me and showed it to a number of people. Even those who swore that they would never try sushi were captivated by the book and liked the idea of sushi sans fish. The directions are the most clearly written that I've seen so far, and EVERY design has a full-page color photograph followed by directions. I highly recommend this book to those interested in learning to make sushi. It is technically and artistically stunning.

Vegetarian Sushi Made Easy

I have been waiting for a book like this for years! I find Japanese food intriguing but was unsure as a vegetarian where to start looking for meatless alternatives for sushi. Although some of it is involved and some of the ingrediants are difficult to come by if you are not within relative distance to an asian market,so I would recommend this as an excellent book for special occasions and holidays.
