Dumplings Dumplings all day, err'day

With my busy schedule and added laziness, I didn't get to try out this book earlier but I wish I didn't wait so long. During winter break I tried one recipe (gun mandu pg46) but I have to admit that I did not make my own dumpling wrappers. I used the store bought pre-made wrappers but it still worked out better than I thought. Since I'm not a person who typically cooks, the process of making the filling seemed lengthy but I'm sure the second go around will be a lot faster. Thanks to Andrea, I was able to whip up some awesome dumplings considering it was my very first time and I know the next will be even more delicious. Next time I will definitely make my own dough and will experiment with making my own fillings with her recipes as a foundation.

Not only is her book full of great content but it is very aesthetically pleasing and sturdy. Andrea's book is filled with beautiful pictures of all kinds of dumplings and even drawings of how to fold the dumplings. I've seen various dumpling books in the past but none were as thorough and detailed as Andrea's book! It's definitely a great book for dumpling lovers and beginners in the kitchen such as myself. The book is divided by types of dumplings (filled pastas, thin skins, stuffed buns, rich pastries, etc.) and I have to say I never knew there were so many types of dumplings from so many different ethnic backgrounds! I cannot wait to try all of them out and as a bonus there are even dessert dumplings!! Thank you Andrea for such a well put cookbook that will definitely spread the love of dumplings everywhere!

I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
