Stuff Every Sushi Lover Should Know

Stuff Every Sushi Lover Should Know by Brett Cohen and Marc Luber is an essential pocket-sized guide for anyone passionate about sushi. Sushi is not only a staple of the Japanese diet but also one of the most popular foods worldwide. This guide delves deeper than the spicy tuna or california maki roll lunch special from your favourite restaurant.

Sushi chefs have perfected this art form over hundreds of years, skillfully balancing each component—from fish and rice to nori, vegetables, wasabi, and soy sauce—to create bites of pure pleasure. While sushi may be intimidating in Western cultures, this guide demystifies it, offering insights into the origins and seasons of sushi fish, the meaning of "omakase," and tips for crafting sushi at home.

The book covers:

• Types of Sushi Fish and Their Origins
• The Importance of Sushi Rice
• Sushi Etiquette
• 10 Ways to Expand Your Palate
• How to Slice Fish
• How to Cook Rice Like a Sushi Chef
• How to Select and Store Sushi-Grade Fish
• Plus more, including a glossary of essential sushi terms
