In this collection of popular restaurant dishes, D.K. begins with a primer on making sushi at home, describing basic ingredients and techniques and presenting easy-to-follow instructions for combinations familiar and new. Small- and large-plate recipes follow, with award-winning favorites such as Mango and Crab Salad Hand Roll with Thai Vinaigrette, Japanese Calamari Salad, and Asian Rock Shrimp Cake with Ginger-Lime Chile Butter. A selection of sweet plates includes restaurant classics as well as timeless dessert recipes from D.K.'s mother. With recipes that are uniquely multicultural and wonderfully original, D.K.'s Sushi Chronicles from Hawai'i presents a fun, friendly, and very personal look at a brilliantly conceived facet of Hawai'i regional cuisine.
