Let's Make Dumplings!: A Comic Book Cookbook by Hugh Amano, Sarah Becan

4.0

Not as delectable as its predecessor, Let's Make Ramen (my review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3558733456 ), but still delicious (to the eyes). Not like ramen that I prefer to eat in the restaurant rather than make it from a scratch, I often cook dumpling, especially gyoza. I made gyoza when I really stressed and somehow mix the filling, fold the wrapper then put them in the pan and start to fry and steam make me feel calm. Sadly, I rarely made gyoza right now, since I'm too busy. This book may made me want to make gyoza again!

Just like Let's Make Ramen, Hugh Amano bring his vast knowledge about dumpling, from savory to sweet, from traditional dumpling to modern take. Of course, all of those knowledge are presentable as beautiful drawing by Sarah Becan. While I like to browse any recipe to try, reading cookbook by Hugh Amano and Sarah Becan give a whole new experience that different from reading usual cookbook that can be pretty boring (I never read any cookbook by actor/actress. Just never have interest, lol)

Don't blame me if you start craving any dumpling. I'm myself want to eat many gyoza, mandu and shumai after reading this cookbook, yum! :9
