For The Love Of Dumplings
“As long as you wrap the thing and make it watertight then it doesn’t really matter what shape you make it.” So says Michelin-starred, London chef Andrew Wong about the making of dumplings. “”Enjoy the process. Enjoy monotony! It’s a skill that you can take away with you forever, if you wish to use it.”
These wonderful ‘small masses of dough cooked by boiling or steaming’ – as Merriam Webster describes them – come in myriad shapes and global flavours. If you want to try making dumplings yourself, you can enrol in the October 20th Vancouver-based cooking class: ‘Catching Fillings – For The Love Of Dumplings’. Run by Chefs Karima Chellouf, Matthew Murtagh-Wu, and Trixie Ling, this Dumplings class is part of Growing Chefs ‘Farm to Forks’ program.
