This is a review for the new cookbook Dumpling Daughter: Heirloom Recipes from our Restaurants and Home Kitchens I received a copy of in exchange for this review.
David’s favorite food is Mexican while Charlie loves American food. I love Mexican food. To start new traditions in our home. I can’t wait to give David Dumpling Daughter: Heirloom Recipes from our Restaurants and Home Kitchens then David and Charlie can prepare some of the dishes in Charlie’s Homeschool Cooking Class.
Before I do that though I want to surprise David and my sister and prepare some of the Dumplings to serve during our Christmas Eve meal. Would you like to come for dinner? The cookbook prepares us and tells us how to stock our pantry.
As well as how to fix a child’s table. Just don’t let the book keep you busy reading the stories which will distract you from cooking like they tried to do to me. Charlie was able to learn about new foods he hadn’t heard of which is going to lead us to a Field Trip to a Chinese Market in our cooking class. Would you like to go with us and we can stop at a Chinese restaurant for lunch?
Thank the LORD for this cookbook because my best friend is giving Charlie a set of knives for Christmas it shows us knife skills so we can keep all of our fingers. Make sure you eat before browsing this cookbook because these amazing photos are going to make you so hungry.
About
Learning about Holidays that are celebrated by friends and family has become very important to my family. Which we can study with in our Homeschooling Classes. Which is why as you’re planning for any upcoming Holidays relating to food or recipes and the upcoming Chinese/Lunar New Year I wanted to share with you Dumpling Daughter founder Nadia Liu Spellman and her mom, famed Boston restauranteur Sally Ling’s (of the legendary, beloved 5-star Sally Ling’s) new cookbook, Dumpling Daughter: Heirloom Recipes from our Restaurants and Home Kitchens.
FOR NADIA LIU SPELLMAN, it has always been about the Dumplings. The first thing she orders in a restaurant and her favorite thing to eat at home, Nadia dreamt of bringing the high-quality, homestyle Dumplings of her childhood to market. But first, she needed to introduce herself—and her Dumplings—to the world. Enter Dumpling Daughter, a modern Chinese restaurant established in 2014.
At Dumpling Daughter, Nadia shares the food she grew up eating at home and in her family’s restaurants with a whole new generation of enthusiastic eaters. This cookbook, filled with childhood recipes and her family’s story, is a continuation of that desire. With the steadfast support and guidance from her mother, Sally Ling, Nadia has created both a family heirloom and a helpful resource for those who want to make authentic homestyle Chinese and Chinese American food at home.
Featuring iconic dishes from Dumpling Daughter and Sally Ling’s restaurants, as well as family favorites old and new, this cookbook provides home cooks with a wide range of delicious recipes and plenty of inspiration. (Yes, including those famous Dumplings!)
“If you’re a foodie seeking authentic, homestyle Chinese recipes, Dumpling Daughter delivers like no other cookbook. Gorgeously photographed and clearly written for home cooks, this book also tells the poignant family story of Nadia Liu Spellman and her mother, Sally Ling, one of the OGs of superstar chefs.
Dumpling Daughter is sure to be used over and over again in your kitchen until the recipes are etched in your memory like they were for Nadia as she was growing up.
This is my new go-to cookbook for Chinese food – A MUST HAVE.” -William W. Li, Bestselling Author of Eat to Beat Disease
“More than forty years ago, Nadia’s parents were instrumental in educating New England food lovers about the subtleties and complexities of genuine Chinese food. At the time, our two restaurants were next door in Boston, where we shared experiences and built a great friendship. It gratifies me that, as our generation has passed the torch, my daughters frequently enjoy Nadia’s food at Dumpling Daughter, as I did Sally Ling’s. Like her parents, Nadia is also leaving a wonderful legacy for the next generation!”
-Jasper White, Chef, Restauranteur, and Cookbook Author.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
