Easy Sushi Rolls: And Miso Soups
Author: Fiona Smith
Healthy, delicious, modern -- everyone loves sushi. But, if you thought sushi was hard to make yourself -- not so! Here, young food writer Fiona Smith has included lots of easy recipes for homemade sushi. Fiona's recipes are great if you're Vegetarian. Try simple fillings with just vegetables -- or Avocado Rolls with Chives and Cashews. If you love healthy Fish and Seafood, you'll love Smoked Fish Hand Roll, or a California Roll with avocado, cucumber, and fresh crab. Unusual Meat and Poultry recipes include Roast Pork with Pickled Plums and Teriyaki Chicken Roll with Miso Dipping Sauce. And speaking of miso -- you'll need a selection of miso soups that traditionally end a sushi meal; Miso Soup with Wakame, Tofu, and Lettuce for instance, or Red Miso Soup with Scallions and Crisp Tempura Croutons. One of the secrets of sushi making is how to cook rice. If you thought you couldn't do it, don't worry. Fiona will show you the secret, and it's simple. She also shows you how to make great accompaniments, like fabulous pickles and three ways with wasabi. You can have parties where you provide the ingredients and guests make up their own hand rolls from their favorite ingredients, or you can do it for them -- it takes no time at all! This is really easy party food, healthy snack food -- and great food for kids.

Family Dining Tips
Make sure dinnertime belongs only to you. Let the answering machine respond to phone calls, turn off the television, and put away the newspaper.
If your children are grown or older, turn dinnertime into a forum for discussion of current issues and happenings in the area and around the world.
As a family, volunteer at a local soup kitchen or food bank. This will help family members to appreciate dinner at home even more.
Hold a "crazy hat dinner." Invite each family member to wear their favorite or funniest hat to the table.
Discuss books during mealtime. Ask family members to share their current and longtime favorites.
Time-Saving Tips
Instead of cooking meatballs in a skillet on top of thestove, place them on a greased broiler pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
If a piece of eggshell falls into your mixture, dip a larger piece of shell into the bowl. It adheres instantly.
Undiluted cream soups or cheese soup make easy sauces for vegetables or pasta.
Type your basic shopping list on the computer. Keep a copy in the kitchen to add to during the week. Add specialty items for particular recipes.
Use instant potatoes to thicken soups and stews.
