Introduction for a process essay

Who can find the thesis statement in this introduction?


"How To Make Sushi" (an introduction for a process essay)

Every time I go out for sushi I marvel at the skill of the itamae (sushi chef) making my sushi. He grabs a handful of rice, a piece of fish and in a flash I've got my nigiri sushi. He's a professional and has years of practice and his rolls, sushi, and sashimi come out perfectly. It seems an impossible task to make such exquisite food, however you would be surprised; making sushi at home is not as hard as it would seem. Your rolls may not be perfectly sized and your fish (neta) may be off center, but if you use high quality ingredients and remember a few simple rules, you too can make sushi at home that will satisfy your appetite just as much as going out does. In addition, you can even turn the process into a party with your friends, which I do on occasion.

The first sentence is not the thesis statement. Try again!

the introduction talks abt the process of making sushi together with friend at a party. thus, the last sentence is the thesis statement of the paragraph. this intro uses attention-getting method
