Summary: Sushi Deluxe Book and Kit
Comment: This kit comes with the 80-page book Sushi Made Easy by Kumfoo Wong, a 9" x 10" bamboo rolling mat, four sets of black and gold plastic chopsticks, four painted ceramic chopstick rests, a plastic 5-piece rice mold, and two decorated ceramic dishes for dipping sauces.

The box in which all this comes is sturdy and decorative, and is designed to store everything. The top of the box lifts off, and a hinged door on the side of the box opens, revealing several drawers, which hold everything.

The book that comes with this kit, Sushi Made Easy, by Kumfoo Wong, is an introductory guide to preparing and presenting sushi. The book is targeted to beginners, and at only 80 pages, is completely manageable. Sushi Made Easy provides an introduction to the more prominent sushi ingredients and kitchen utensils and equipment needed, as well as advice on selecting suitable fish to be used raw. There is a great deal of emphasis here on appearance and presentation. Sushi Made Easy covers nigiri-sushi, sushi rolls, hand rolls, rolled sweet omelet, and soups. The book is fully-illustrated, and features step-by-step instructions for making each recipe.

Making sushi with this set was a fairly simple, intuitive process. The bamboo rolling mat, which is the primary reason we bought the kit, is big enough, and it gets the job done. Everything included appears to be of good quality.

The Sushi Deluxe Book and Kit are an excellent, inexpensive introduction for anyone who wants to make sushi at home. This set also makes an excellent gift.

Summary: very nice gift
Comment: I bought this as a gift to my girlfriend. We made sushi only once so far but it came out surprisingly good. The book has very useful info and tips. The only "bad" thing is that the dishes inside could have been a little nicer. I accompanied the kit with a sushi serving set I bought elsewhere.

Summary: Great Value!
Comment: I believe I paid about $14.00 for this set. When I opened the box I noticed it was larger than I had anticipated. I was very happy with everything it came with....chopsticks, little bowls for soy or other sauce, little chopstick rests, and an instruction manual/cookbook. I found the book extremely helpful and was surprised that something so inexpensive actually contained nice colored pictures. I bought this kit mainly for the sushi mat, so I was very surprised with all the extras. As a bonus it comes in a cute little storage box. I would definetely buy this item again! It is one of the very best bargains I've seen in a long time!

Summary: At least it was low cost.
Comment: The box this kit arrives in is beautiful. The only problem was I had to pry the drawers open with a screw driver as they were jammed shut, and this wasn't easy. The good - The sushi making book has good information. The rectangle mold for molding sushi works great. The okay - The chopsticks, holders, and dishes are all usable. The bad - The bamboo roller was totally covered in mold and had to be thrown out. I purchased a silicone sushi roller at our local kitchen store which is fantastic! It works much better than bamboo, and washes and dries beautifully. Overall, this kit was low cost, so I didn't ask for my money back.
