Publisher Description
Everything you never knew about sushi: its surprising origins, the colorful lives of its chefs, and the bizarre behavior of the creatures that compose it. Trevor Corson takes us behind the scenes at America's first sushi-chef training academy, as eager novices strive to master the elusive art of cooking without cooking. He delves into the biology and natural history of the edible creatures of the sea, and tells the fascinating story of an Indo-Chinese meal reinvented in 19th-century Tokyo as a cheap fast food. He reveals the pioneers who brought sushi to the United States and explores how this unlikely meal is exploding into the American heartland just as the long-term future of sushi may be unraveling.
The Story of Sushi is at once a compelling tale of human determination and a delectable smorgasbord of surprising food science, intrepid reporting, and provocative cultural history.
Customer Reviews
Excellent!
This audiobook was narrated very well and was very easy to listen to. If you are a foodie, work in the culinary industry, or just looking to learn more about sushi this book is a must read! The novel Bounces between a narrative following students attending an California sushi school and a history of sushi in Japan and its birth in America.

Great book but why the high price tag? I bought the book for $10.00 and read it through but wanted to hear how many of the words were spoken.
