Book Description
This book, dedicated to beginners, should attract amateurs of both Asian food and manga.
Here the art of making sushi, sashimi and maki is being taught and thoroughly explained by two manga characters: Karasu the master, and Yuki.
The 42 Japanese recipes, explained step-by-step in comic strip following the style of manga books, are completed with beautiful pictures. Following the usual japanese style of reading from right to left, Chihiro Masui starts with explaining the basis of Japanese cooking (from preparing the rice for sushi to marinating Ginger) and takes us through the discovery - or re-discovery - of essential and modern Japanese meals: California roll, nigiri, maki, etc. Every step is thoroughly explained and every gesture, such as finely slicing salmon fillet or rolling sushi, is carefully detailed. After Learning to make the famous ball or the "it" roll and going through the basic do's and don'ts of Japanese culinary techniques, will come the popular recipes: from the carrot maki without nori seaweed for the kids to the vegetable créations for the veggies. Sushi, both a symbol of global food and ancestral traditions, won't have any secret left for you!
