The Vegetable Sushi Cookbook

Descriere

The Vegetable Sushi Cookbook is the brainchild of Izumi Shoji, a hugely popular blogger and widely published home cook in Japan, who shares her expertise in taking a wide variety of vegetables and turning them into delicious and healthy sushi meals. Each recipe has been chosen for its healthy ingredients and delightful taste, and is easy to make with basic cooking skills and no special tools. (Alternatives are included for any ingredients that might be difficult to find in some areas.) The author covers the entire range of sushi dishes, from ni-giri-zushi (the popular finger-rice style) to maki-zushi (rolled sushi), and chirashi-zushi (scattered sushi in a bowl), including the oshi-zushi (pressed sushi) style popular in the Osaka area. Also explained in detail, with many photographs, are the various styles of preparing the vegetables for use in sushi dishes, from grilling to steaming and frying. Each dish is photographed in full colour. There are additional chapters on making sushi bento, the popular lunch boxes that are changing many people s lunch habits, and how to prepare sushi for party events, enjoyable for both kids and adults. Vegetable Sushi is a unique and flavourful way to enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
