My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dumplings, dumplings everywhere!! I love dumplings, so I was excited to get this delightful cookbook to review! You won’t just find what you might classify as a dumpling here, there are also empanadas, Dried Fruit Fried Pies (I grew up on these and love them!), pasties and pastas.

Far from just being full of recipes to fill pre-made wrappers, there are recipes for many wrappers as well. The book is divided by region: Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East, Russia and Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and The Americas.

All of my favorites are here from the fried pies I mentioned above, pasties (a definite favorite of my kids!), pastas, spring rolls, and–be still, my heart!–Shanghai-Style Soup Dumplings!! I first had these in New York City back in 2009 and my family STILL talks about them today. Now I can make my own!!

If you love dumplings of all shapes and sizes, then this is the book for you!! I highly recommend it!

I received a copy of this book from Countryman Press for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
