Summary: The best dumplings ever...
Review: I have to say that Maria Polushkin has outdone herself with the recipes in the "The Dumpling Cookbook." I have made approximately half of dropped dumplings in this recipe book and they get better each time.

The other night I told my husband I was going to make Ricotta Gnocchi for dinner. I've made them before using many other recipes, but they were always like lead balls. He and I were very disappointed in the final product. When he sat down to eat, he bit into one and said, "WOW", these are incredible. He was right; they were the best I've ever eaten. They were like slicing into butter. It was difficult to push myself away from the table.

Summary: Calling All Dumpling Lovers!!
Review: This book is wonderful!! It spans numerous cuisines to provide a nearly complete listing of dumplings from around the world. The work includes recipes for Chinese dim sum dumplings, Italian gnocci, Jewish knishes, Eastern European perogi, and many more. A must for dumpling enthusiasts!! On the bad side, many of these dumplings are really time consuming to make. Some of the ingredients are also expensive/hard to find so it might prove a fun read but not a useful, everyday cookbook. Still, if you love dumplings, check out this book!!
