With Smiling Sushi Roll lunch can resemble great works of art; like Munchs "The Scream;" and Rodins "The Thinker." In this unique and humorous sushi book; illustrator and maki artist Tama-chan (Takayo Kiyota) shows how basic ingredients like rice; seaweed; pickles; and cucumber can be used like paint and ink to create maki that is so fun to look at; you almost wont want to eat it. Mostly art book; part cookbook; Smiling Sushi Roll includes a few of the basics of using condiments; herbs and spices to colorize rice as well as of preparing a sushi roll for some artistic strokes. Tama-chans rolls feature original whimsical cartoons of Japanese culture and social commentary; as well as interpretations of famous works. Some of the cartoons even change with each slice of the roll to form a running narrative. The result is a funny; joyous celebration of food preparation and presentation; and a whole new definition of "culinary art."

I started to became curious about drawing my own mandalas. I looked for a book and found this one. I loved the instructions and pictures. The author made it seem easier to do than you think! (Coloring books make it seem ocerwhelming a bit if yoy want to draw one. in my opinion. lol) Great starting point. simple tools to begin with. Good buy for any blossoming artist!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A lot of super easy and obvious ideasBy Tri HardrNot as detailed as I had expected.
