Summary: A beautiful book about beautiful food
Review: I'm a vegetarian and I love sushi. That statement confuses many people, who hear the word sushi and think, "raw fish". This book offers an excellent introduction to preparing and serving vegetarian sushi (including alternatives to the fish-based stock often used in preparation of vegetable sushi), from selecting the ingredients to preparing the rice to creating a roll to setting the table. The color illustrations demonstrate the artful presentation of the food (and make you hungry just looking at them!), and many of the recipes include several different suggestions for filling combinations. This is an idea cookbook, not just a how-to cookbook.

Summary: Beautiful photos - makes me want to prepare sushi right now!
Review: There is lots of variety in this little book. The introduction gives you a fine initiation into the sushi-making realm with recommendations on tools and products available. Recipies are straight-forward with easy-to-follow instructions. In fact, I didn't know that there were so many types of vegetarian sushi available! So, what's wrong with my local sushi restaurant? The photographs are also a wonderful asset to this cookbook.Definitely recommended for people who want to learn how to make their own sushi (without worrying about contamination and food borne illnesses associated with raw fish). An asset to any vegetarian/vegan cookbook collection.

Summary: Good ideas but NOT 100% VEGETARIAN
Review: This is an OK book for gathering ideas for vegetarian sushi, but appears to be written by somebody that has no clue what a vegetarian is. There are recipes that are vegan, and others that are ovo-vegetarian, but Brigid seems to be clueless as to what a vegetarian is, as her dashi recipes all call for fish flakes. Also, she lists seafood possibilities for various sushi types. It's not a bad read, and there is good information, but it's yet another book written by a non-vegetarian without bothering to ensure that the recipes are at least lacto-ovo. It's a disappointment that in a book called vegetarian sushi, there are so many refs to seafood and recipes that call for meat products. Especially considering that the typical American mis-conception of sushi is fish, and this book claims to provicde vegetarian recipes.

Summary: Good ideas but NOT 100% VEGETARIAN
Review: Wonderful color pictures throughout, lots and lots of different ideas for filling that sushi roll. I like how the idea of brown rice is pulled in as an option too since its so good for you. The beginning shows the step bystep how to prep the rice the rest is all about different ideas and options from adding tempura, to using different bell peppers and spinach, to using seasoned noodles. Nothing weird, just really tasty.
