Sushi

Author: Andreas Furtmayr

The idea of these bite-sized delicacies comes from Japan. Classic sushi combines raw fish with rice and is eaten cold. Preparing sushi can be easy even for Westerners. Once the basic principles are understood, one can improvise with new fusion ideas (providing only the freshest fish is used). Sushi meals are great for large groups and intimate two-person occasions.
