Neumayer: AlpenZushi

Even my partner, who usually scoffs at “fancy” cookbooks, was flipping through this for an hour straight. The vegetarian sections are genuinely thoughtful, not just an afterthought, and the 160 pages feel substantial in hand. Perfect for when you want to impress without following some rigid traditio

The photography alone is worth it—300 color images make every page feel like a mini trip to the Alps. Tried the vegan option first and was surprised how well the seasonal twist works with traditional sushi flavors.

I was skeptical about vegetarian sushi, but the seasonal, local approach here is genius—the 160 pages are packed with 300 color photos that made me want to cook everything immediately. Even my meat-loving partner asked for seconds.
