Dim Sum Delights Molly Mills

When you see them scattered in the dining table, placed on small plates or bamboo steamer baskets, dim sum dishes look like just about some bite-sized things that are mostly wrapped, like those various types of dumplings. But hey, take a bite, and you will be introduced to a whole new kind of goodness. Dim sum is a classic Cantonese. The dishes that fall under the category are traditionally served for brunch together with a cup of tea. That's why they are meant to be served in small portions and at different variations. In fact, the earliest interpretation of the term "dim sum" is "to barely fill your stomach." This is something you eat when your tummy is not yet ready for a proper meal. It's like an appetizer, a meal that will set your stomach on fire for something more. However, in the present times, dim sum is no longer considered "just" a brunch menu or an appetizer to a multiple course meal. You can see it everywhere - in the streets and in formal dining places. Dim sum dishes have delighted foodies so much that they no longer choose which time of day they can have them. They can have them any time of the day when the craving strikes. This dim sum cookbook paves the way for home cooks so they can serve dim sum to the family any time they want to. The dishes may look complicated at first sight, but in reality, they are pretty simple yet flavor-packed meals. If you need to create your own dim sum menu, look no further.
