Add Mirin and Rice Wine Vinegar to taste and cool. Take your rolling mat and place a seafood sheet on top. Add a handful of rice and distribute 1/4 inch thick and evenly spread.

Then add your desired filling and roll, sealing with water. Then cut into your desired sizes and serve with soy sauce, wasabi and picked ginger.

Queen of the Castle!

We had a really lovely time at the St Ives Food Festival. The weekend was the highlight with so much going on.

We held our Tregenna Sand Castle Competition which was a huge success as you can see from the photos. There were some marvellous creations that took a lot of time and effort.

A big thank you goes to I Should Coco, the artisan chocolatiers, who crafted a mouthwatering castle out of their delicious hand made chocolate. What a prize!

We were pleased to share our sushi secrets to a large audience on the cooking demonstration on the harbour. We''ll upload the recipe shortly for those that missed it.

Finally, it was great to meet so many of you at our stand on the West Pier. Thank you to everyone who came and said hello.
