Featuring iconic dishes from Dumpling Daughter and Sally Ling’s restaurants, as well as family favorites old and new, this cookbook provides home cooks with a wide range of delicious recipes and plenty of inspiration. FOR NADIA LIU SPELLMAN, it has always been about the dumplings. The first thing she orders in a restaurant and her favorite thing to eat at home, Nadia dreamt of bringing the high-quality, homestyle dumplings of her childhood to market. But first, she needed to introduce herself—and her dumplings—to the world. Enter Dumpling Daughter, a modern Chinese restaurant established in 2014. At Dumpling Daughter, Nadia shares the food she grew up eating at home and in her family’s restaurants with a whole new generation of enthusiastic eaters. This Chinese cookbook, filled with childhood recipes and her family’s story, is a continuation of that desire. With the steadfast support and guidance from her mother, Sally Ling, Nadia has created both a family heirloom and a helpful DIY resource for those who want to make authentic homestyle Chinese and Chinese American food at home.
