Need recommendations for a good dim sum cookbook. Thanks!

Check out Ellen Leong Blonder's "Dim Sum - The Art of Chinese Tea Lunch" -- beautiful artwork throughout...

A good dim sum book? I will assume Cantonese style dim sum (there are other styles). This one is good for introductory:

Dim Sum: The Art of Chinese Tea Lunch by Ellen Leong Blonder

It has a bit of everything from steam buns to egg tart to mango pudding (haven't tried that particular one yet)....etc. Not particularly difficult. Some may say not traditional enough, but it is certainly a good starting point.

The books mentioned thus far sound great. I have Eileen Yin Fei Lo's Mastering the art of Chinese cooking and it has a great chapter on dim sum plus a whole lot more.

I have been really pleased with Florence Lin's "Complete Book of Chinese Noodles, Dumplings and Breads"

I would recommend two books, Asian Dumplings by Andrea Nguyen. She also has a good website with videos on.

The 2nd book is Chinese Dim sum the publisher is wei chuan. Not sure if this book is still in print or not but it covers most of what you will probably want.

Good luck in your dim sum adventure

I second the recommendation for Rhoda Yee's book. Another very good resource is Mai Leung's "Dim Sum and Other Chinese Street Food", also out of print but used copies can be found, just google the book and author; Alibris has a number of copies available.

Thanks to you both!

It's been out of print for a while so it can be tough to find, but Rhoda Yee's "Dim Sum: The Delicious Secrets of Home-Cooked Chinese Tea Lunch" is good.
