Summary: A must-read for anyone who makes &/or eats sushi
Comment: 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.

Summary: SUSHI: TASTE AND TECHNIQUE by Kimiko Barber and Hiroki Takemura
Comment: Sushi: Taste and Technique is Kimiko Barber's and Hiroki Takemura's guide to preparing, presenting and eating sushi. The book is thoroughly illustrated, and features photography by Ian O'Leary on nearly every page.
Sushi is thorough in every area. It gives a brief history of sushi, and information on the equipment and ingredients for sushi preparation. There are simple, easy-to-follow recipes on how to prepare sushi ingredients like omelets and soboro, and there is amazing coverage of the different fish, squid, octopi and oysters used for sushi, and how to cut and prepare each of them. The book also gives very detailed instructions on how to assemble scattered, stuffed, pressed, rolled, and hand-formed sushi. The book concludes with information on eating at a sushi bar, sushi etiquette, and other tidbits.
If you're looking for a book on sushi, it's hard to imagine one better than this.

Summary: Fantastic Resource for Sushi Lovers!
Comment: My family and I found this at a local farmers' market in the book and magazine section and put it in the cart. We then went around picking out the fish, rice and other items we would need to make sushi using the recipes found inside. For a group of people who had never made sushi before, this book made it approachable and within our reach.
The etiquette and background information make it even more valuable, as we've learned things from the book that we take with us when we go to sushi restaurants. Highly recommended!

Summary: A Grand Sushi Book for Amateurs and beyond
Comment: I am a semi-professional chéf. I saw this book in a friend's library and fell in love with it. I bought one myself recently and found it even better as I read it. I highly recommend it.
I have 2 more sushi (at home) books in my library. They are also quite good but this one is superior. Detailed descriptions, beautiful pictures and perfect knowledge. There's no need for another sushi book.
Also, congratulations to DK publishing and authors Kimiko Barber & Hiroki Takemura on such a masterpiece.
