We've encountered dumplings throughout our travels around the world and
started asking the question: What actually is a dumpling? We decided to
try to answer this with a unique combination of history, science,
statistics, and, of course, recipes. This is the definitive global guide
about dumplings for dumpling lovers (is there anyone who's not?). We've
created and analysed a dumpling database, including over 200 dumplings
from 70 countries, each classified into six dimensions of dumplingness
(dough, cooking method, flavour [savoury or sweet], stuffing, shape,
and size).
