Sushi— the Japanese dish combining vinegar rice, seaweed, and a variety of toppings and/or fillings (namely raw fish, tofu, and vegetables)— is as much art as it is food. Nearly anyone can find a sushi dish that they will enjoy, whether they are a carnivore, vegan, fancy diner or casual diner. I personally love sushi. My favorite rolls generally involve sweet potato, tofu, or avocado. I am always astounded at how aesthetically pleasing the tiny rolls are, no matter what they may contain. The ability to make sushi is an ancient technical art; one that has been perfected over thousands of years by legendary sushi chefs in Japan, and now, around the world. If you would like to try your hand at crafting some seriously delicious and crowd-pleasing delights, you may want to try out one of these sushi making classes.
