For the month of February, 2007

This is a roll that I first tried and loved at the Maki Maki in Irvine, California. I liked it so much that I thought that I should try making it myself… and I was very pleased with the result! It actually tasted almost exactly like the one at the restaurant. Yum!

What do you get when you cross a fried pig with a nutty monkey? I have no idea, but it tastes surprisingly good!

“The Complete Book of Sushi” is perfect for not only the sushi newcomer, but also as a reference book for the sushi lover. It is extremely comprehensive, including information from sushi customs to rolling sushi, and even provides recipes for soups and sauces that are commonly eaten with sushi.

For a long time, the Western Bacon Cheeseburger from Carl’s Jr. was my favorite burger ever. I usually would eat it after long, difficult rehearsals or performances, to get my energy back. So I figured, why not make a sushi similar to my favorite burger!

No… it’s not chicken… it’s tuna!! Hehe. As simple as it might sound, this roll is actually my favorite roll out of all the rolls I have made thus far!

This roll is a wonderful snack roll, perfect for game day! Another of our wonderful readers, Ralph Whitbeck, came up with the idea for this roll (Thanks, Ralph! )

Monkey Maki!!! I love the name – I was cracking up! Yes, I’m a dork. This fabulous recipe was thought up by my wonderful reader, Yvo, and I must say it turned out pretty darn well! (Thanks so much, Yvo! )
