A fascinating and engaging look at one woman’s journey, through sushi academy and beyond. Interspersed between the paragraphs holding Kate Murray’s story are names, figures, facts. Trevor Corson covers most everything to do with sushi, and more besides: its history, techniques used, varieties of fish, etc.
Nothing is more interesting than […]
This is one of my favorite Japanese snacks, and now my little one’s as well. It is very easy to make, as long as you don’t obsess about it being perfect:). This one in the picture was the nicest one that came out. The others were lopsided or had leaks and generally […]
Tom already has a post here for chirashi zushi, which makes me very thankful since I don’t have to expound so much on what this is. At our house chirashi zushi is known as “lazyman’s sushi”, or the sushi that you’ll eat from a bowl, with chopsticks, instead of your hands, because Mom’s too […]
Just EWWW.

Use it in your sushi, or around it. Shred it and put it in your spring roll. Or sprinkle your salad with it. Pad Thai wouldn’t be complete without it.
What could be easier? Film your wok or skillet with oil. Beat an egg, season appropriately and cook for […]
Fake nutritional information brought to light, or why you shouldn’t trust everything you see. Just because it’s on TV, just because there are “researchers” and “experts” on it, doesn’t mean it’s true, or correct.

Finally found a source for this spice blend online. Has anyone ordered from Yatatex? The shipping, though, if ordering only the Kanzuri, comes to $9.90, so I’m paying more for having it sent here than for the product itself. Methinks I’ll ask my local Japanese shops first if they can order it […]
