Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Farmer cheese vareniki

    • mjes on May 15, 2018

      The filling is a simple farmers cheese - egg - dill weed mixture; this gives a rustic, farmhouse sense to the dumplings. I went with the sour cream pierogi wrappers simply because I was most familiar with them. I used a Russian style farmers cheese that I'd picked up at the coop a few days ago. It was the reason I was looking for recipes using farmers cheese. The completed dish was very nice but I need to find the appropriate condiment or fruit compote to make it exceptional. I'm also tempted to play with the herbs as dill is not my favorite.

      This is a solid dumpling dough (with egg) recipe which went well with the farmers cheese filling.

  • Empanada wrappers

    • sck on January 07, 2013

      We liked them rolled a but thinner and bigger. But flavor was fabulous!

  • Corn and black bean empanadas

    • sck on January 07, 2013

      Wonderful but better if you add some extra corn.

  • Pennsylvania Dutch apple dumplings

    • sck on January 07, 2013

      Yum! Great presentation for essentially apple pie. Molasses gives nice depth.

  • Sugar sauce for Pennsylvania-Dutch apple dumplings

    • sck on January 07, 2013

      Great flavor but use only 1/2 cup water. That way you'll get a syrupy consistency.

Publishers Text

This is the cookbook for making dumplings and small pies of all kinds, from pot stickers, ravioli, and knish to empanadas, pasties, and samosas-and many; many more.


Ever tried a Turkish borek? Swedish kroppkakor? How about Cajun meat pie? Acclaimed photographer Brian Yarvin has traveled to neighborhood kiosks, festivals, and restaurants in ethnic neighborhoods throughout the northeastern U.S. to bring more than 100 traditional dumpling and filled-pie recipes from places as near as Flushing, Queens, to as far away as Uzbekistan and beyond.

Starting with the basics of dough making, steaming, and frying, Yarvin provides mouth-watering color photographs and step-by-step instructions so that anyone can recreate their grandmother's pierogi or street-food treat at home, using ingredients from the local supermarket. Also included are tips for where to buy hard-to-find ingredients, and--if you just can't stand the wait of making your own--ethnic neighborhoods where you can find dumplings ready-to-eat.
