Sushi made simple

The word ‘sushi’ refers to ‘vinegared rice’, which is used for any kind of sushi, along with raw, pickled, smoked, grilled or seared ingredients. In this book, the simple secrets behind making good sushi are revealed, such as how to select your sushi components based on the three principles of colour, taste and texture. As well as classic white sushi rice, you’ll find options for using brown rice, quinoa and pink beetroot rice, too.
