Sushi Modoki

Description

Once they've had their fill of avocado rolls, what's a vegan sushi-lover to do? Enter SUSHI MODOKI, a cookbook filled with amazing, all-vegan re-creations of classic rolls that mimic the flavor and texture of fish, with all-natural, whole ingredients. At the hands of vegan innovator iina, a cooking instructor in her native Japan, tomatoes transform into 'tuna' and carrots into 'salmon' - with mind-boggling results showcased in over 100 color photographs. With clear step-by-step instructions for assembling elegant plates bursting with color and crunch - plus the full range of traditional sides including salads, soups, pickled veggies, and hot and cold drinks - SUSHI MODOKI is the ultimate guide to becoming a vegan sushi master.

iina is an independent vegan and vegetarian chef and food creator. She values the color, shape, and textures of plant-based foods as they come from nature, and focuses on sustainable cooking techniques free of chemicals and refined sugar. In 2010, she founded a vegan cafe, Vegegeek, and began hosting vegan cooking classes at a culinary school in Tokyo. She is the author of three vegan cookbooks in Japan.
