Sushi and sashimi is hugely popular in the West, with most grocery stores having packaged meals available in the deli sections.

This vegetarian cookbook teaches you everything you need to know to make these delicious Japanese dishes in your own kitchen. This sushi book covers a wide variety of sushi--sushi rolls, or maki, molded sushi, noodle sushi, omlette sushi, sushi in a bowl--as well as soups, sauces, and pickles to accompany the sushi.

Sushi made with vegetables can be both a feast for the eyes and a treat for the palate.
