Summary: Great book for snacks
Comment: This book contains a lot of good dim sum recipes and are very authentic. The instructions are easy to follow and the pictures are faithful to the recipes. The recipe for potstickers or jiaoze dough I use is from this book. The har gau and shiu mai recipes are quite good as are the several others I have tried. Be warned, however, dim sum is not something you can whip up quickly. Having this book will not replace going to your favorite Chinese restaurant for dim sum. This is not the fault of the book but the nature of dim sum. There's a reason so many Chinese people go out for dim sum instead of cooking it at home--it takes time and effort to do!

Summary: Real Taiwanese Dim Sum
Comment: My wife studied Mandarin in Taiwan before the PRC opened up. She's had this book since it was published. The recipes are time consuming - that's how Taiwanese and Chinese cooking is . The chef does all the work , and the food is designed to be shared and eaten with chopsticks. That said , this book is a good choice given the pictures of the finished dishes and prep. The recipes are accurate . The Pork Chop Noodle , for example , is identical to what I've had in China -a little better in fact. In addition , its a cookbook designed for real cooking. That laminated cover doesn't get ruined when the oil spatters. Sure it's work , but if you live somewhere where the Dim Sum is dismal this is one way out.

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: The book is actually quite interesting as a cookbook but not what I expected. The recipes are very involved, definitely not for beginners or even cooks with a little experience. The recipes are also in Chinese with English translation (which is a plus actually!!). I haven't had the time to make anything from it... but it is interesting to read.
