Dim Sum: The Art of Chinese Tea Lunch: A Cookbook

I bought this book for throwing a Dim Sum party with my friends, making fillings, folding them, steaming/frying them and eating them.In that way, we tried 6 of the recipes in the book, those for which the ingredients were easiest to find, and I have to say, they all worked out very well.The amounts are in OZ, but not too difficult to translate into metrics.I can especially recommend the mushroom dim sum, they were just marvellous! The rest of them were good, but not great. I got the tip from a Chinese person to make the fillings the night before, and let them marinate for a while, which may very well optimise the taste.There was one thing, however, which I found disappointing: That was the amount of dim sum recipes in the book, compared to overall recipes. Only about 2/5th are devoted to actual dim sum, the rest is about spring rolls, sticky rice, stuffed vegetables... Not that I have anything against stuffed vegetables, but hey, it is a dim sum book, right?Given the lack of dim sum books in the market, it is a satisfying buy, but will not inspire great art.

This book has no photos of the finished product only illustrations

The layout is delightful and very clear, the recipes delicious and cover a good range of different dim sum. Highly recommended!

This was a gift for someone for Christmas. They really like it so I decided to give it the five stars.

This book includes some of my favourite Dim Sum recipes, including steamed buns, custard tarts and coconut balls. The wheat starch dough recipe is great and I've developed much greater appreciation for the staple Dim Sum dumplings.There is lots of detail on how to do things, from how to fold dumplings to how to freeze them. Everything you need as a beginner.My only gripe is that, as a recipe book, the recipes are not very well presented. Written in large blocks of text with no visual separation of tasks or highlighting of the important bits. This can make trying to check the recipe as you cook very difficult, with the wealth of detail hiding the piece of information you need quickly.

this book of course very good about dim sum. i found everything look for.. thanks amazon.co.uk
