Cheesesteak, corned beef, and pastrami taste great as a sandwich—but they taste even better reimagined as a dumpling. In Damn Good Dumplings, successful restaurateur Stratis Morfogen shows you just how easy it is to merge American flavours with the classic dim sum favourite.

This book is great for beginner home cooks, because the dumplings are easy to make and prepare. Kids love dumpling flavours like Grilled Ginger Chicken, Funky Chunky Vegetable, and Short Rib Stacked because they're encased in dough and fun to eat. Whip them up for a weekday dinner that the whole family will love, or wow all your friends at your next dinner party without having to spend all day in the kitchen.

Whether you're looking for dumplings made with traditional ingredients or one that's a little more out of the box, Damn Good Dumplings will guide you step by step, ensuring you'll have a flavourful bite to eat in no time.

This book contains 60 recipes and 60 photos.
