Sushi for beginners…..
Posted on September 24, 2008 by Nina Timm in seafood
On Friday is my birthday and when you get to this time of your life, you try and avoid big celebrations. Thank goodness for people like my wonderful mother-in-law who thinks that birthdays should be celebrated well and who then send down 4 plane tickets so that my whole family could go away for the school holiday. Thanks mom, you are a star!
I do not have much of a recipe for you today, but I am amazed every time I make sushi at how comfortable my children is with eating this delicacy. My son does not care much about the ginger and the soy, but he literally pops the nigiri like MnM”s. I feel good knowing that my children have acquired this taste and that they are eating something so incredibly nutritious.

I am always so impressed by people who make their own sushi

I love homemade sushi! It’s fun to make and you get to put exactly what you want in it! I posted your award on my blog. Thanks again and happy birthday!
Hey – hope you are going to have a fab birthday tomorrow! And I *love* sushi. There is a sushi place here called Itsu that is just my favourite. I know it’s slightly westernised sushi, but it’s delicious so we don’t stand on ceremony 🙂 The best sushi I’ve had recently in SA was at Fu-Shi in Plett. Divine!
It’s been a while since I made Sushis but I love them. Nice pics.
Gorgeous sushi!!!
And have a great Birthday!
This comes at an opportune time as I have sushi making on my mind for the coming week! It looks great
happy birthday, nina.
wow, your sushi is so perfect looking! i have never tried making my own at home, but i imagine it can’t be that hard, right? 🙂
Wow, your sushi is stunning! I can have sushi as a meal, not just starters 🙂
I’ve added my sushi attempt to my blog as a new page, if you have time check it out. Looks nowhere as good as yours.
PS Have played the blog game.
Have a great weekend!
