Product Description

Synopsis
One of the greatest pleasures in Chinese cuisine - 'dim sum' (which means 'touch the heart' in Cantonese) - is probably the most often enjoyed culinary fare and offers an endless assortment and variation of dish choices. These exotic tasty delights are often served in petite portions, and have become increasingly popular to be had as a meal. With a great assortment of savory and sweet choices ranging from enticing buns, dumplings and pastries - who wouldn't enjoy having dim sum? Anyone who has enjoyed the pleasures of a dim sum meal has more often than not wondered at the gastronomical possibilities of recreating these delights in their very own kitchen. This is now made possible with "Dim Sum". "Dim Sum" is a contemporary compilation of authentic dim sum recipes from the private collection of renowned chef - Chef Chan Chen Hei. Chef Chan's bold and original approach to traditional dim sum strips much of the mystery that goes into his scrumptious creations such as Steamed Pork Dumpling topped with Crab Roe, Deep-fried Chewy Dumpling, White Jade Roll with Crab Sauce to name a few.

His creativity and desire to experiment with unexplored combinations of flavours and textures is evident in his other unique creations like Sugar Cane Jelly, Ginger Egg Tart, Green Tea Dumpling etc, these and many more never fail to excite and tantalise the palates. The recipes featured are specially selected from Chef Chan's private collection that he has compiled over years of experimenting, innovating and perfecting dim sum dishes. "Dim Sum" is an unique treasure cove of many delightful dim sum recipes, and peppered with nuggets of advice and tips from Chef Chan. Both professionals and novices will find "Dim Sum" a useful reference for replicating dim sum dishes that are served in top restaurants. Beautiful full colour photos accompany the recipes, and these in itself will guarantee to inspire even novices to discover the superb flavours of dim sum at home. Expand your culinary repertoire with "Dim Sum". Chef Chan's first book "The Art of Taste" published by Marshall Cavendish, garnered a nomination for Best Hard Cover Recipe Book at the prestigious 2003 Jacob's Creek Awards.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice eye candy but little on how to make them, 15 Sep 2006
By Gordon Fong "efnic" (Bournemouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I got this book with some intention of trying to make a few of the recipes but I found that there is not a lot of instruction on the basics required. True, it gives you the ingredients but I would have hoped their would be more photos on the techniques of rolling and shaping, which actually adds to the presentation, especially for these little delights.

I have to admit that I do then to buy a few cook books just as "gastro-porn" in the sense that they are just as good to flick through and marvel at. The Nobu book is exactly like that.

If nothing else, it should give you a few more options to order next time in a Dim Sum restaurant.
