Asian Dumplings by Andrea Nguyen

March 14th, 2010

Flavorista Scott turned me onto this book.  WOW, what a find! Andrea Nguyen regularly contributes to Saveur.  Her articles are engaging and informed.  Typically, I want to run out to the market to try at least one of her featured recipes.

If dumplings happen to be your thing, this book is certainly for you.  Flavorista Scott is cooking his way through this book with one or two different dumplings a week.  This has been on-going for a while and he is yet to report a less than excellent batch of dumplings.  I need to score an invite to dumpling night!

With 75 color photos and clear instructions, this book could inspire even a dumpling-hesitant cook.  The family aspect of preparing dumplings together really makes the meal something special and I swear Lollie is a more adept dumpling maker than me, hands down.

Andrea has several "How To" videos on You Tube.  Click on the video below to check it out.
