When it comes to Chinese food, Cantonese cuisine is probably my first love, and, naturally, dim sum ranks very high in my Chinese food hierarchy. And then I discovered Chinese dumplings while traveling in China and became an instant and ardent fan at the very first bite. Now, both dim sum and dumplings are two of my favorite Chinese foods!

Imagine trays upon trays of bamboo steamers, with billowing clouds of steam, each carrying fresh, delicate, and succulent dim sum; an assortment of steamed buns, deep-fried, and baked little bites; scrumptious dumplings filled with meat, vegetables, and/or seafood. Dim sum and dumplings are practically begging to be eaten! In this chapter, you will find some of the most popular dim sum and dumpling recipes that are sure to satisfy your appetite.
