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!!

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.
