Well, I didn’t get any angry e-mails or death threats, so I’m assuming that you folks liked our first videocast (or were at the very least willing to tolerate it). So we’re back with another.

We’ll be making two of the most popular examples of this – kappa maki, or cucumber roll; and the infamous California Roll.
