50 ideas for sushi rolls for $5, that's all

This is not a great book or instructional. These are not exactly the 50 "best" sushi rolls, either. But it gives 50 good ideas for sushi rolls for $5. Like adding an "island flavor" to a particular fish roll, by adding coconut. It's not useful for someone who is just learning how to make sushi, but for $5, it doesn't promise to be instructional or enlightening.

Excelent American sushi book

This book does have many American stylized sushi in it. I thought sushi eaters are open minded. This book is great for getting sushi if you are use to what I call "lunch box sushi" Grocery stores around me really sell the midtown roll, California roll, and the Unagi (eel roll). Other are odd concepts, like the PB & J roll are odd. I really did make this roll; it's very odd for sushi but tasted good. I guess if you like your sushi traditional avoid this book or if you are like me get it. It's for people who like pineapple on their pizza!

Great product

This book is rather small, but it has great recipes and instructions and wonderful little tips in it. It's I great product I would recommend to others.

A fun little gift item

I think it's amusing to find everyone taking something--that's not supposed to be a serious book on sushi--so seriously! If you are a fan of some of the crazy rolls we see on sushi menus these days (and there are pletny of them), this tiny book plays up to that. At four bucks from a company with a line of these little 'Best of' series, what does one expect?

It's fun!

Anyone who reads this book should realize it's a lighthearted, stylized take on sushi ... and, at several dollars, not a comprehensive guide to authentic technique and culinary history. A weakness of buying books over the internet: sometimes the buyer expects something other than he or she orders (hint: you can actually see books in a bookstore!). I enjoyed some of the farcical receipes (even if I'd NEVER actually eat them). Try giving this book with a true sushi cookbook and some inexpensive accessories. Four stars!
