Dumplings = Love and Dumpling Cooking Set Giveaway

Enter our US giveaway to win one of three copies of Dumplings = Love: 40 Innovative Recipes from Around the World by Liz Crain with one US winner receiving a Chinese Soup Dumpling Kit from Cooking Gift Set Co.!

There are a few things I cannot resist – and dumplings are one of them. Anything sweet or chocolate I can pass up but put a dumpling in front of me and I’ll fight you for it and the dipping sauces – someone will get hurt.

Dumplings = Love sets out everything from dumpling doughs (egg, gluten-free rice dough, and a table of next-level doughs that include adding other ingredients to punch up the dough) to dozen of original dumpling fillings and dipping sauces. There is a section on making agar-agar broth or water as well as a few dessert-inspired dumplings.

Our EYBDPreviewButton takes you inside this beautiful book and features the following EYBD Recipe Button

To further extend your dumpling prowess, I have a wonderful Chinese soup dumpling kit to tell you about!

Recently, while googling cooking kits, I came across the Cooking Gift Set Co. site and when I saw the soup dumpling kit – I thought it was brilliant. (There other sets are equally brilliant and rumor has it a French tart kit is in the works – be still my heart.)

This brilliant kit has everything needed to create soup dumplings at home. Included is a small bamboo steamer basket, a two-sided dumpling dough rolling pin, parchment rounds, agar-agar powder (will transform most any soup into a dumpling filling), a bamboo filling spatula, and an instructional booklet to get you started.

With a few additional tools (many that we already have in our kitchens and some fresh ingredients), you can be making delicious homemade dumplings easily! I consider myself a good cook with a well-stocked kitchen and I am thrilled with the contents of this kit and the easy to follow instructions! I love the smaller steamer basket and the roller is perfect for all kinds of smaller dough jobs. In a matter of minutes, you can be on your way to making perfect soup dumplings. I made soup dumplings from leftover wonton soup broth and they were incredible.

Special thanks to the publisher for offering three copies of Dumplings = Love to our members in the US and to Cooking Gift Set Co. for providing one US winner with their own soup dumpling kit. Entry options include answering the following questions in the comments section of this blog post.

Which recipe in the index of Dumplings = Love would you make first?
