The Great Dumpling Debate: Definitions, Science, History and Local Recipes from Around the World

by Robert Costanza and Ida Kubiszewski

Book Overview

Everyone loves dumplings, but what exactly is a dumpling? Must they be stuffed? Do they have to be boiled or can they be baked, like Cornish pasties? Can the dough be bread-like with yeast or does it need to be more like pasta dough? How big or small can they be? Is a clootie dumpling even a dumpling? What about a calzone? Can they be sweet or do they have to be savoury? So many questions and so much opportunity for long debates over drinks (and dumplings)...
