Summary:
"For the last 100 years, Nom Wah Tea Parlor has been slinging some of the world’s greatest dim sum from New York’s Chinatown. Now owner
Wilson
Tang
tells the story of how the restaurant came to be -- and how to prepare their legendary dishes in your own home. Nom Wah Tea Parlor isn’t simply the story of dumplings, though there are many folds to it. It isn’t the story of bao, though there is much filling.

, who quit a job in finance to take over the once-ailing family business, struggles with the dilemma of immigrant children -- to jettison tradition or to cling to it -- he also points to a new way: to savor tradition while moving forward. A book for har gow lovers and rice roll junkies, The Nom Wah Cookbook portrays a culture at a crossroads."--Publisher.
