I've only eaten sushi a few times in my life, and there are a few favorites that I've settled on when I do get to indulge!  But I've always been apprehensive about trying to prepare it myself for risk of not preparing it safely or correctly.  Mai and her husband have done a very nice job of introducing the culture and history around the preparation of sushi, and supported that with some very tasty-sounding recipes in this book.  I'm glad that some of my favorite dishes are included, too!The recipes are detailed and very instructive, and it'd be nice for your future cookbooks to include some photos or illustrations of the individual steps described.  That is the only reason I rated this book a 4 instead of 5.  It's kind of difficult (especially for novices like me!) to translate instructional words into mental pictures.  There are illustrations at the beginning of each recipe that show in general how the final dish is supposed to look.So, if you're into sushi and have always wanted to try to make it yourself, "How to Make Sushi" would be a good addition to your Kindle library and your kitchen!
