This book, the first history of sushi in English, traces sushi's development from China to Japan and then internationally, and from street food to high-class cuisine. Included are two dozen historical and original recipes that show the diversity of sushi and how to prepare it. Written by an expert on Japanese food history, \u003ci\u003eOishii\u003c\/i\u003e is a must read for understanding sushi's past, its variety and sustainability, and how it became one of the world's greatest anonymous cuisines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric C.
