A World of Dumplings

This is the cookbook for making dumplings and small pies of all kinds, from pasties and samosas, empanadas to ravioli, knish and piroshiki, and many, many more.Have you ever tried a Turkish borek or a Swedish kroppkakor? How about a Cajun meat pie? Acclaimed photographer Brian Yarvin has travelled to local kiosks, festivals and ethnic restaurants to bring more than 100 traditional dumplings and filled-pie recipes from places as far away as Vietnam, Uzbekistan and Jamaica.Starting with the basics of dough-making, steaming and frying, Yarvin provides mouth-watering colour photographs and step-by-step instructions so that anyone can recreate their grandmother's pierogi or favourite street food at home using ingredients from the local supermarket.
