From dust jacket notes: "...Classic Deem Sum is the ideal guide for novices and experienced chefs alike. Yukiko and Bob Haydock, authors of several previous cookbooks on Far Eastern cuisine, have joined Henry Chan, owner of the Yank Sing restaurant in San Francisco, to bring thirty-two of the best of Yank Sing's recipes into the home kitchen. Included are such classic dishes as har gow (shrimp dumplings with translucent wrappers) and gum cheen gai (golden coin pork), and well as the more unusual jun jew kao (steamed pearl balls) and jee ma guen (black sesame rolls). Classic Deem Sum has recipes for all tastes and palates. With the help of easy-to-follow line drawings, full-color photographs, and complete explanations of tools, techniques, and ingredients, this is an indispensable book for all home cooks who have in common a love of the ancient art of deem sum."

Classic "Deem Sum" as Viewed by a Western Reader,
By Bob Brooks (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classic Deem Sum: Recipes from Yank Sing Restaurant, San Francisco (Hardcover)
An excellent starter guide to dim sum, with recipes for steamed, pan-fried, roasted, and (of course) deep-fried dishes. Excellent recipe for pork bun filling (although not a great dough recipe); lotus leaf ("sticky") rice; crab cheese wontons ("crab rangoon"); turnip cakes; har gow; and custard tarts.For the best baked bun dough, consult The Dim Sum Book. For steamed bun dough, consult The Chinese People's Cookbook. However, use the filling from this book as it's more authentic in flavor. Enjoy!

My new husband gave this cookbook to several people in the past and raved about it being the best Deem Sum recipes. I wanted to have this for my collection because it meant so much to him and getting this book in such great shape was exciting!! Pot stickers from this book are the Best!!

This review is from: Classic Deem Sum: Recipes from Yank Sing Restaurant, San Francisco (Hardcover)
My family and I are big fans of Yank Sing in San Francisco. I have been searching for this book, as it is out of print. The recipes are clearly explained but do take time and patience folding the dough. I was disappointed in the condition of the book. It was not as described-food stains and creased pages.
