SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 TASTE CANADA AWARD FOR CULINARY NARRATIVES

Featured on ‘The Sunday Magazine’ on CBC Radio

Nearly every culture has a variation on the dumpling: histories, treatises, family legends, and recipes about the world’s favorite lump of carbs

​​​​If the world’s cuisines share one common food, it might be the dumpling, a dish that can be found on every continent and in every culinary tradition, from Asia to Central Europe to Latin America. Originally from China, they evolved into ravioli, samosas, momos, gyozas, tamales, pierogies, matzo balls, wontons, empanadas, potato chops, and many more.

In this unique anthology, food writers, journalists, culinary historians, and musicians share histories of their culture’s version of the dumpling, family dumpling lore, interesting encounters with these little delights, and even recipes to unwrap the magic of the world’s favorite dish.

With an introduction by Karon Liu. Illustrations by Meegan Lim.
