Good for beginners.......2006-12-01

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.

Good product, crappy shipping and packaging.......2006-06-29

Great book with good accessories for the $$. But the package it was all kept in was severly dented to the point where I had to re-package it before I gave it as a gift. Be aware that may not be in the best shape to send to someone directly.

pretty good, pretty basic.......2004-05-22

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.

Not a bad book.......2003-05-11

...My main reason for purchasing this book are the accessories that come with it. When I initially read through it I found it to be somewhat disorganized. But for the price you pay, and all that comes with the package, it's a good deal.

Insert sigh of relief here........2002-08-12

I love sushi, and I love this book. It answered all but one of the questions I've ever had about sushi, quickly, concisely, and elegantly.

The one thing I would have liked it to contain would be a recipe and cooking instructions for Eel. (Unagi) (Though there are instructions for the preparation of Prawn (Ebi) for sushi.)

Most importantly the authors tell you what to look for when buying your fish and how to cut it.

Everything else you need to know is here; How to prepare the rice, how to make regular and inside out rolls, how to form nigiri sushi, how to make the rice and seaweed "battle ship" for roe sushi, directions for making Tamago (a rolled sweet omelette that can either be used as a filling/topping or as a replacement for rice in some styles of nigiri sushi). There's a section on soups, and making your own ginger.

And while I've been eating and attempting to make sushi for quite some time now, I found the Author's suggestions on how to serve and eat sushi interesting and informative.

If you get the book and kit (And why not, at the time I'm writing this, Amazon is offering the kit at the same price as the book alone.) you'll also get some basic sushi paraphernalia.

2 Bamboo mats for rolling your Maki
1 Rice paddle
4 Pairs of normal sized chopsticks

Which is a nice addition, because just about every other tool you would need to make sushi is probably already in your kitchen. The tools provided might be difficult to get if you don't live in an area where there isn't an asian market, or a market with a good sized asian section near you.

Of course, once you get the book that's not much of a problem since the back of the book lists contact information for markets and mail order vendors. (Several web sites and physical locations through out the US.)

Nice pictures, but who edited this?.......2006-09-28

This strikes me as being a very hastily thrown together book. I recommend it for the pictures, and some of the ideas are good. However, it's definitely not a literary masterpiece. Plenty of grammatical errors, some spelling mistakes- in some cases the recipes won't even work or don't make sense as written. If you're already an accomplished cook, this book has some nice ideas for party food, but stay away if you're not already comfortable around the kitchen.

Having said all that, I will grant that this book has gorgeous pictures.

Book Description

Visually appealing, flavorful, and nutritious sushi has long been one of the most popular foods of Japan and is now a favorite of epicures around the world. Here, the ingredients and utensils for making sushi are introduced and the principles of sushi-making explained through thirty-six recipes illustrated with drawings and sixteen pages of color photographs. Included are instructions for dressing and filleting twenty-one kinds of fish, serving suggestions, and recipes for soups to complete an authentic sushi meal.

Dated but workable.......2002-08-01

The big problem with this book is that it was written in 1982, and American sushi culture has had its own evolutionary path since then. The profusion of maki that dominates American sushi isn't here, which is fine, but it also doesn't mention the omnipresent California roll.

That said, it's an excellent book, and I have no doubt that with this book and a few months of intensive practice anyone can become a passable sushi chef. The ingredients are easier to find now than they were, and this book also provides a number of forms of sushi that simply don't get seen much in American sushi bars. You will need other references for some of the esoterica, but this book will have you up and running on the basics quickly, and even if you so choose making some very interesting items that you don't see every day.

A waste of time and money.......2000-08-29

"SUSHI MADE EASY" by Nobuko Tsuda is a complete was a complete waste of time and money for myself. I was going to the shops to buy a new book to help make sushi for my son's school when I came across this book. As it was highly recommended, I felt obliged to purchase it. I wish that I had not done so. It was not helpful and the ingredients were either hard to find or extremely expensive. To anyone that is thinking about buying this book, I say to you, "DON'T!" Buy another one. LOVE JOANNE BURKE (karen_mcvea@hotmail.com). Bye everybody! P.S. Don't you just love the new Daphne & Celeste song - "U.G.L.Y."???

Become a sushi chef overnight!.......2000-01-19

This is an excellent beginner's book for sushi lovers. Includes beautiful color photos to show the art of presentation and the beauty of the cuisine. It could have included pronuciation tips for some of the words, and the technique described for making nori rolls was awkward (I place strips of filling on rice closer to the center), but otherwise I highly recommend this book.

It`s an excelent book to learn to make sushi.......1998-06-23

It's a detailed book to make diferent sushi. I'm proud to buy this book, it's realy good and my friends are hope to learn a new test of it.

Well balanced, covering basic steps. Good starter book........1998-01-27

This book takes a well balanced approach that is geared toward the novice. I found the sections on equipment and ingredients to be very good overviews on these topics. Assembly instructions were pretty good, and frankly, the pictures go a long way toward showing you what the end result will / should look like. Other books I looked at contained more history and shopping tips than I wanted. The key to success with sushi is experiment!

You will love this book. If you are a vegetarian and love sushi then this book will send you straight to sushi heaven! Great pictures and easy to understand. You will be on your way to creating beautiful tasty sushi in no time at all.

food for the eye ... an inspiration.......2001-06-10

If one skims this book, one is impressed by the creativity and the beauty of the various sushi recipes. The recipes depend upon technique in rolling to create flowers, yin-yang symbols, cones, barber cones ... There are some of these designs based upon dyed rice, ineatible leaves, or exotic serving pieces - all techniques opposed to my cooking style. These recipes also depend upon ingredients not common in an American kitchen e.g. black beans, soy beans, red soy beans, fresh green soy beans all required for a single recipe. The problem becomes one of obtaining the necessary ingredients in small quantities or how to use the remainder if bought in normally available quantities.

However, if you approach this cookbook not in terms of actual recipes but for inspiration, this is an excellent book - it allows one to move far beyond avacado rolls, cucumber rolls, Seattle rolls, California rolls i.e. the mainstays of sushi beyond the raw fish sushi. It has wonderful photos of presentation possibilities - food as pleasing to the eye as to the palate. It provides ideas for using Asian vegetables in small quantities; you learn if you like the taste and texture before betting a meal on it. It's only flaw - you're left on your own for dipping sauces and other condiments - a flaw that allows one to search for pickling recipes or even chutney/salsa recipes to add some flavorful "zing" to the meal.

Visually stunning...but tasteless!.......2001-01-30

This book is visually stunning, with some of the most inventive sushi I've ever encountered: nigiri colorfully topped with slices of carrot and lotus root tied together with a green stem; sushi rolls cut to reveal a pattern of plum blossoms, hearts, roses, or a checkerboard; a cute sushi ball topped with a shiitake mushroom cap that resembles an Oriental hat; others wound with shreds of vegetables to look like multicolor silk balls. There's sushi presented in a pumpkin cup, several varieties of stuffed tofu sushi, a sushi-and-vegetable "pizza," sushi salads, and even fruit sushi. Each recipe is illustrated with a mouth-watering full-page color photo, and the extremely clear directions feature rolling or assembly diagrams. I pounced on this book not only for its visual artistry and as Japanese Food Host at BellaOnline, but to make special vegetarian treats for my vegan son and his friends.

Yet, there's a central problem with this book. All the recipes I tested are virtually tasteless!

I'm sorry, but plain sushi rice topped with a slice of carrot boiled in saltwater does not make it in my culinary estimation. Nor do the beautiful sushi rolls that consist solely of rice wrapped in nori-however eye-appealing they are-or the assortment of boiled, saltless beans served over brown rice! And grapefruit cup sushi made of okra, carrot, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and grapefruit sections tossed with rice and stuffed into a grapefruit half? Yuck!

Even the basic rice recipes are peculiar: the one for white sushi rice calls for seasoning the rice with apple cider vinegar and honey instead of a standard sushi-su made from rice vinegar and sugar. A brown rice version uses salty plum vinegar and mirin. I've been trying to figure out if this book is meant to embrace Zen macrobiotic diet principles. But no, then honey wouldn't be called for. Also, for reasons unknown, the authors do not even mention wasabi in the book. Likewise, soy sauce is never suggested as a dipping sauce to accompany the sushi recipes. (Indeed, there's little soy sauce used throughout the book, and then almost exclusively to cook shiitake mushrooms or tofu pockets). And, despite several attempts, my sushi rice seasoned with plum vinegar did not turn out a bright pink as is shown in the book-or even pale pink. The authors might be using a different brand of plum vinegar than what's available in my area, but nowhere was that brand specified.

Of course, one can always add beet juice or food coloring to rice to achieve that lovely pink shade, or incorporate Japanese pickles to liven up the flavors of fillings, or add a smear of wasabi, or serve the sushi with a wasabi and soy sauce dip. But these ideas are not brought out in the book.

If you intend to use this book as inspiration and let your imagination soar, then this may be a great resource for you. However, if you are the kind of cook who needs to follow recipes exactly, or are seeking to re-create a Japanese restaurant taste experience, you are apt to be sorely disappointed with the results of the recipes in this book. Caveat emptor!

The most creative sushi book I've seen.......2001-01-07

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.......2000-02-03

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.

Great photos & stories; missed opportunity.......2005-03-05

This book has incredible details about the business of Matchbox, its incarnations over the years, and its related companies. The production quality of the book itself is top-notch (for example, the photos jump right out at you), but there are some features that detract from what could have been the definitive coffee-table book on the subject.
There are some notable errors in the photo captions, and some photos are re-run on the same or neighboring pages. The book identifies "rare" color schemes for the models, but inaccuracies makes one wonder about the credibility of those assessments (examples of glaring errors: reversing the identifications of the Iso Grifo and the Ford GT, or showing regular wheel vehicles from the mid-1960s under the caption of "Superfast" vehicles, which did not come around until 1969). At times the photos are shown on page after page with no real connection to each other. In that respect, the book lacks basic organization of the photo content (although the informative articles are arranged chronologically).
This is not a price guide, nor is it a comprehensive listing of the multitude of Matchbox products over the 50 years covered by the book.
I suspect the typical customers of this high-end book will be devout Matchbox collectors. They may not perceive this as the valuable half-century compilation the publishers had probably hoped for.

Book Description

Living an eco-friendly lifestyle has become chic. Not so long ago, environmental awareness was left almost exclusively to the experts or the eccentrics. However, now a more environmental friendly approach to life is something more and more people aspire to. As the harmful effects of consumerism and mass-production become increasingly apparent, many of us are becoming aware of the bonuses of living in tune with nature rather than against it. No longer the domain of the 'brown rice and sandals' brigade, eco-consciousness means knowing that you don't have to sacrifice taste or style to look after your body and the environment. Eco Chic is an essential and stylish guide to following this new eco-consciousness, looking at the organic movement in four key areas: food and drink, interiors and design, health and beauty and fashion.

Customer Reviews:

Good choices can look good, too!.......2006-07-08

Kudos to Ms. Tanqueray for such a lovely book. Finally, someone to tell the world that ecologically-friendly and fashionable do not need to be mutually exclusive!
It's not earth shattering (no pun intended) information, but is presented in a way that a whole new audience will be receptive to it. Shouldn't we applaud the fact that for *once* the fashionable choice is the *RIGHT* choice, instead of demonizing the author for not being a "purist"? In this instance, the motives do not supercede the actions. No matter what the reason, the ideas she is promoting are healthy and socially responsible. Ms. Tanqueray has written a book that will allow people to view an "alternative" lifestyle as a little more like their own. It's about time!

What a disappointment.......2005-11-22

This book reduces an important movement to a mere fad. I should have known better. What can a NY editor trapped in Manhattan know about real organic living? I was stupid to have bought this book in the first place.

Ecology and Models?.......2003-05-14

There just might be hope for the planet, as "living an eco-friendly lifestyle has at last become hip." So says former Deputy Editor of Elle Decoration, Rebecca Tanqueray, the author of this book. But after reading Eco Chic, I am a bit skeptical. If the future of the planet is reduced to a "trendy option" or "the latest word in style," we - and all the other species on this planet - are in a lot of trouble. If you are serious about embracing green causes (permaculture, organic farming, natural building, green technology, etc.) there are many, many, many other books that address these issues in DEPTH, without all the glossy cataloguesque photos and Martha Stewart prose (see my reviews for more info). With this book, Tanquery has achieved what was hitherto unimaginable: She put ecology on the catwalk.

Bad ecology for all the wrong reasons.

My book is tattered and torn, I use it so often. The company information pertaining to green living allows you to look up hundreds of environmentally friendly companies. Examples of products you can find are anything from 100% organic cotton or hemp fabric, to wool bedding, to chemical free building materials, to non-cancer causing shampoos and body lotions.
