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
takes you inside this beautiful book and features the following 
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.
