Adorable cookbook on dumplings from around the world. I can wait to try so many of the recipes. This would be fun to do with friends or family. Gorgeous photos and clear instructions.

The World is Your Dumpling is a great cookbook detailing dumplings worldwide. From Asia to Latin America, there are various examples of what might be considered dumplings. As a Dominican American, I enjoyed seeing Dominican domplines being featured. All of the recipes were interesting and creative.

Thank you to NetGalley and Emily Roz for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This cookbook features all different kinds of dumplings from all regions of the world. I tried out the One-Pot Spicy Beef Stew with Chilean-style Dumplings and it was a huge hit with my family. Instructions were easy to follow and it came out exceptional. The recipes use real ingredients and few shortcuts but, at least for the stew, it was still fast and easy for a weeknight, so win-win-win.

There's a lot of recipes in here that look really good, but I'm most excited for these:

Maple Syrup and Bacon Bake;
Chili Chicken and Sweet Potato Peanut Stew with Fluffy Balls; and
Dumpling Wreath

This may be one of my new favorite cookbooks. Stunning photographs! Great layout! There are recipes ranging from easy to more difficult. One of my favorite parts is the guide at the back that tells you how you can adjust recipes to suit certain dietary restrictions! I love dumplings and cannot wait to try some of these recipes!

This book covers anything you may have every wanted to know about dumplings from anywhere in the world. It starts with an overview of all the types of dumplings in different cultures from soup dumplings to ravioli to pierogi to empanadas. You learn a bunch of different techniques for folding doughs.



Speaking of dough, she gives several options.  There is a basic water and flour wrapper, gluten-free wrappers, and egg dough to make from scratch.  She even advocates using store bought wrappers when you need your dumpling fix fast.  

The rest of the recipes are grouped by degree of effort required.  Flavors from all over the world are mixed and matched with abandon.  The author freely admits that she isn't restraining herself by trying to stay true to each type of cuisine.  



The photography and graphics in this book are lovely.  Each recipe is very well marked as containing meat, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, or gluten-free. There is also a section in the back just for dietary swaps. If you like the look of a recipe but need a switch, here are some ideas that may work.  I love this!  I think that would be really useful for people cooking for others who have dietary needs that they aren't familiar with.



This is a fun book with lots of great ideas that was really a delight to read through.

Thank you to Netgalley for this free ARC.

This was a very interesting cookbook, and I appreciate the wide variety of dumplings you can make. It is also great that there are options for gluten free, and vegan diets as well.

There were some great explanations of ingredients and instructions, but I feel that it would be overwhelming to beginners. I would have liked to see more photo instructions inside the book on how to fold the various shapes instead of QR code's to videos that may not exist in the future.

There were a lot of unconventional flavors, that may appeal to a wider palate. I expected to see mostly Asian flavors, and was a little disappointed at how Americanized the flavors are.

Overall it is a good cookbook if you have a little bit of experience making dumplings, but maybe not for everyone

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this E-Arc.

So many dumplings, so little time! Good thing this book details how much time each recipe takes. What a cool concept with excellent execution—a whole cookbook centered around dumplings. There's a lot of diversity and universal flavors used, so don't think this is just a book full of potstickers.
I really liked the map illustration at the beginning of the book showing the different dumplings by region. The author's about me section was great and made me want the opportunity to sit down and make dumplings with her, as she sounds knowledgeable and fun. She makes the process of making dumplings sound exciting rather than intimidating, and I am looking forward to making my own dumplings now. There is a chart with pictures that shows the reader 10 ways to fold dumplings, and I thought that was a great idea to include. The photography in the book is excellent and highlights how delicious-looking all of the recipes are. I was surprised to see a recipe for gnudi, and I am really looking forward to making the Toast Lamb Hats in Yoghurt Soup with Fennel, Orange, and Harissa Dressing. There is even a desserts section! Another neat feature in the back is the list of swap options for each recipe to fit various dietary needs. There is also a recipe in the book for gluten-free dumpling wrappers. There is a lot of consideration for dietary restrictions. Overall, this cookbook is well thought out and put together. I think it will appeal to a broad audience.

This is a really fun cookbook. There are lots of dumplings and international variations of them from around the world and the author is quite likable. There were a few things that were frustrating for me though. I was so excited to see a recipe for gluten free dumpling dough at the beginning because much of my family is gluten free, but almost none of the recipes were listed as gluten free. In most of the recipes you have to either make a specific dough for that recipe or use something like wonton wrappers. At the end of the book she lists recipes and how to swap things to make them vegan, gluten free, etc but it’s often just something like use gluten free eggroll wrappers. I would have to fly to a metropolitan city to buy gluten free wonton wrappers and such, so it was ultimately really disappointing after the beginning got my hopes up.

I also wish there were photos for every recipe. Not only is it nice to see the dish, but in some cases I didn’t know how to fold the wrappers or dough and pictures would have really helped. There are photos for maybe a third of the recipes. There is no nutritional information. Also, it is written for an international audience and the measurements are in weights and metric units. I can obviously adapt but when I am reading a recipe it’s tricky for me to visualize 2 ounces of cheese and 100 grams of flour. I know many people prefer this kind of system so that may be a benefit for you.

The recipes looked and sounded like great dishes. Not a lot of them appealed to my particular tastes (simple but lots of flavor) but they seemed creative and delicious.

I read a temporary digital loan of this book for review.

The World Is Your Dumpling by Emily Roz is a delightful culinary adventure that celebrates the joy of dumplings from around the globe. With 80 gorgeous recipes, it beautifully balances classic favorites like ravioli and perogies with Asian dumplings using store-bought wrappers. Roz’s clear instructions on folding and pleating techniques make the process accessible for all skill levels, while her comprehensive guide to various cooking methods ensures that every dumpling is cooked to perfection. (I received an advance reader copy and all opinions are my own.) This book is a treasure trove of flavors and creativity, perfect for anyone looking to explore the world of little parcels filled with big flavors!

Our family is a big fan of dumplings. I was so excited to discover this cookbook. So thankful to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity. This was a positively fun cookbook. I never knew there were so many wonderful variations to the simple dumpling. There are over 80 recipes to choose from. They are so easy to follow and understand. The ingredients and directions are easy to understand. So many unexpected possibilities I never imagined. I can’t wait to try new flavors and ideas for my family. I have even found new favorites like the Air Fryer Crab Rangoon and the Shitake Alfredo Dumplings. You're in for a real treat with these delicious recipes. Enjoy.

This book is incredible! It takes you on a journey throughout the world in dumplings (or dumpling-type dishes) and it's so wonderfully executed!

If this is your kinda food (like it is mine) you are absolutely gonna LOVE this book!

Thank you so much NetGalley, William Morrow, Harvest and Emily Roz for allowing me to have an ARC of this wonderful cookbook.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THE HUMBLE DUMPLING! Emily Roz's beautifully executed 'the world is your dumpling' is filled to the brim (the edge of the wonton wrapper?) with insights, tips, tricks, and histories of the world's most versatile dish. Highly recommended for the chef in your life!

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. The author is very clear and organized on the introduction to this cookbook. She provides two different homemade dumpling shell ideas, as well as staple pantry items and cooking utensils one will need to make dumplings. The recipes themselves look delicious; I cannot wait to try them! I like how the book is broken down into difficulty and speed of making the dumplings so that if you want a quick recipe or have more time to invest you can find something you'll like!

This was a surprise to me regarding how much I enjoyed this book! The pages are colorful, fun, a visual delight! The recipes are simple to follow and I appreciate that Emily Roz gives you the green light to “cheat” by using store bought wrappers if needed. On full disclosure, I have not had the chance to create one of the dumplings yet, but I will and I look forward to it! This is my own opinion and I thank NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book.

The world is your dumpling focuses on all things dumplings. Featuring different dumplings inspired by dumplings from around the world.

The Sections are
Staple Recipes
Easy Breezy Meals
A bit more effort, maximum satisfaction
Speedy eats
Sweet Treats

Each recipe has a little blurb about the dumpling dish, a little symbol to represent the dish (meat, vegetarian, vegan, etc), servings, ingredients, directions. The recipes are very neatly organized and have clear directions. Some of the recipes are accompanied by beautiful photos of the dumplings. I wish there were more pictures to follow all of the dumplings.

The beginning of the cookbook goes over how to assemble and cook the dumplings and is very comprehensive. One note is you have to use a QR code to learn about the dumpling fold which I don’t love.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Omg this books was so good, definitely need a hardcover copy as soon is out. Loved the way it explained the recipe and how easy is to follow the instructions . Really good

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of The World is Your Dumpling.

I 💗💗💗 this title and I 💗 this book!

Who doesn't love dumplings?!

I love how the author introduces us to all kinds of dumplings from all over the world, and how they're a part of culinary cuisine in so many cultures.

She puts her unique and original twist on many of these recipes, some which are too spicy for my taste.

I'm an old-fashioned dumpling lover; nothing fancy, just meat or vegs in a simple broth, but the author goes all out with exotic gravies, spices, and shapes.

I especially appreciate the dietary swaps at the back of the book. Thank YOU!

The photos are tasty, and they came through well on my Kindle. Sometimes, they don't.

As the author notes, the recipes start from simple to ones that require a little more time and patience.

The recipes aren't difficult, even for a person who doesn't cook (like me), or doesn't cook well (also me).

This is a great cookbook for any food lover, not just dumpling connoisseurs.

First off, the photos in this book are amazing and extremely enticing. I also really like the layout of this book and the brilliant use of color. There is a good intro section with helpful information about ingredients and techniques that are very helpful. I love how diverse the recipes are. At first, I was unsure of how many different dumplings there could possibly be, but I was clearly mistaken. I like the use of the air fryer in several recipes. I appreciate all of the different cultures represented, and as a dessert fan, I was happy to see that there were also dessert dumpling recipes. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it.

Emily Roz’s "The World Is Your Dumpling" is a fantastic guide that celebrates the delicious world of dumplings in a fun and accessible way. I loved how the book is organized by time commitment, so you can easily pick recipes based on how much time you have. Whether you're in the mood for quick and easy dishes using ready-made dumplings or feeling up for the challenge of making wrappers and fillings from scratch, this book has you covered.

The recipes are diverse and exciting, offering something for every taste and skill level. The beautiful photos and clear instructions make cooking a joy. "The World Is Your Dumpling" is a great way to explore new flavors and techniques while enjoying the comforting goodness of dumplings. In the future, I would love to see various dietary considerations not included in the book.
