Klappentext

Discover the cultural richness of dim sum alongside an introduction to the tradition, a guide to essential ingredients and types of tea, and authentic recipes with practical recommendations that bring it all to your own table.

Dim sum is loved all over the world. Traditionally, it is served so you can share and taste many different dishes. Most of them work well on their own or together with rice or noodles, and they can often be prepared in advance and frozen. Today, there are around 1, 000 different dim sum dishes.

Inside are 50 recipes---from various filled dumplings and fluffy bao buns to deep-fried wontons and silky rice noodle rolls---accompanied by step-by-step illustrations for folding and assembling. A section on yum cha, the ceremony in which these small bites are enjoyed with hot tea in the company of family and friends, rounds out a book that is as much a cultural celebration as it is a cookbook.

Designed for home cooking, this cookbook reveals exactly why the beloved Cantonese phrase, dim sum, translates to "touch the heart."
