Reviews"Perfect for those who specialize in eating Chinese food, rather than making it." - T. Susan Chang, The Level Teaspoon, NPR's Best Books of 2016 "Perfect for those who specialize in eating Chinese food, rather than making it." - T. Susan Chang, The Level Teaspoon "It is as erudite as it is darling. Whether exploring Buford Highway or boarding a plane for Guangzhou, it's as essential as your wallet and your passport." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Ms. Phillips's guide is extensive and satisfying. Her taxonomy is invariably brief, demanding only as much time as one will tolerate being delayed from reaching for a pair of chopsticks. Each item includes a short description, helpful tips on sauces, fillings and variations, plus some insightful history." -  Wall Street Journal   "Small enough to fit in a handbag, Carolyn Phillips' beautifully illustrated guide really can help a nervous diner navigate the sometimes intimidating realm of dim sum." - NPR  , "Perfect for those who specialize in eating Chinese food, rather than making it." - T.

SynopsisA whimsically illustrated yet authoritative guide to the "taxonomy" of dim sum, based on a popular Lucky Peach story. Author and illustrator Carolyn Phillips demystifies the rich, nuanced culinary institution of teahouse snacks in The Dim Sum Field Guide , a pocket-size, definitive resource featuring 80 hand-drawn illustrations. With entries for all the dim sum classics--including siu mai, xiaolongbao, char siu, roast duck, and even sweets like milk tarts and black sesame rolls--this handy reference is perfect for bringing on-the-go to your next dim sum outing. Armchair travelers and Asian food enthusiasts alike will be delighted by this detailed yet accessible look at the distinctly Chinese art of eating well. -- NPR's Best Books of 2016
