About the Recipe
I am not sure why but I have found out when I have catered for parties that people don't seems to like eating sushi standing up! Maybe it's the thought of spilling the soy sauce or dropping a sushi roll . I gave this some thought and came up with an idea that works - a sushi cocktail. Serving sushi in this way with a spoon has proved to be something of a hit - try it out and see for yourself
