"Dim sum" is food? (Reply to this comment)
by owlfan
Funny -- I always thought "dim sum" was what you got on your calculator's LED display when the batteries ran low.
;^D

You're tempting me, but I think I'll opt for Blonder's book to start. (You see how much I trust you.)

I can't wait to hear what you think!

You said: "Too many cookbooks." HAH! No such thing.

I'm glad to hear that. Otherwise I'd be in an awful lot of trouble. ;) This year I got three chocolate cookbooks and a caramel cookbook with gift money. *grin*

Happy New Year!

I admit, I do enjoy having photos in a cookbook. :) Happy New Year yourself!

Dum sum is starting to sound like it fits the way I live these days. You're tempting me, but I think I'll opt for Blonder's book to start. (You see how much I trust you.)

You said: "Too many cookbooks." HAH! No such thing.

Happy New Year.

A cookbook isn't complete without pictures that will make you drool! I will have to check this cookbook out. Nice review. Happy New Year!

It's certainly nice! I have one more dim sum cookbook to review sometime this week, and one more to eventually play with and write up. Too many cookbooks! *grin*

I'm willing to be confident in this case and say that I think it really wasn't just taste or preparation--the overall quality of the recipes isn't as uniformly amazing as those in some of the other dim sum cookbooks we tried. I think I did go into a little more detail in the review itself.

Hmmmm. I usually find at least one that I don't like, or that I simply
can't prepare as well as someone else might, for whatever reason.


Very nicely done.
