Jessie Nelson wrote the book and Sara Bareilles the music and lyrics. Yes, that Sara Bareilles. The same one wh...

There is a certain allure and almost mystery to Yama's sushi creations. Maybe it is the technique – the quick and adept way sushi is created. Maybe it is the confidence that the food is fresh and healthful. Then...it just might be the excitement of eating something exotic like unago (eel) or uni (sea urchin). I am extremely fond of sushi and have eaten a lot of it over the years, but am still thrilled and quite appreciative of the artistry that is involved in making these c...
