Two generations of sushi lovers--mother and daughter--join forces to tell the long and fabulous story of this quintessentially Japanese food, and to offer their differing perspectives. Starting from a simple plate of sushi, they explain the art of making and eating this remarkable cuisine, capture the astonishing atmosphere of the fish market, revel in the uniqueness of each different sushi bar, and discuss the know-how of the "sushiya" (or sushi maker). In addition, they provide more than 40 recipes, all explained in detail and illustrated with wonderful photos.
