My friend Nathan Fong, a food writer, TV-show host, and food stylist is arguably the "King of Vancouver." Whenever I visit Van (that's what the locals call it), I make sure to meet up with Nathan. He knows where all the good food is.
Vancouver has a huge Chinese community, many of whom came from Hong Kong post 1997. Their palates are discerning and they are moneyed people.
For that reason,some of the best Asian dumplings in North America can be found in Vancouver. Nathan and I ate many dumplings out, but we're both home cooks at heart. Today, his story on Asian dumplings in Vancouver and recipes were printed in the Vancouver Sun.
I was honored by Nathan's praise and reference to cookbook as being 'brilliant'. Nathan is the kind of man who wouldn't say something unless he meant it. In Nathan's Vancouver Sun piece, "The Fine Art of Dumplings," you'll find his personal recipes and one from my book:
- Siu mai (pork and shrimp) dumplings
- Won tons
- Chinese pot stickers or gyoza
- Har gow
- Nepalese fresh cheese dumplings (Takari momo, from Asian Dumplings).
Enjoy!







Hi,
The link to the Vancouver Sun article doesn't work anymore... Can anybody direct me to the updated link for the article, or paste it here? I didn't have a chance to print it/save it before it disappeared and I didn't note the dough recipe...
Thanks...

Thank you, the link for the "Classic Dumpling Recipes from Vancouver Sun" now works. (It's a great article with amazing recipes by the way...) Mrs Nguyen, your website is great, and so is the Chicken-Shiitake recipe!

If all your good times pass you by

But I can show you how to turn the key
Cause all I know is where I started
So downhearted

content of most breadwinners, mainly highly skilled employees, was insured.The main problem of endowment insurance, char acteristic for other Russian financial institutions is the lack of trust. then mmm and other pyramid schemes, bank failures and investment funds a few are willing to put bait the property for a long time. OPRICH that negatively impacted, and debts to the population of state insurance, bankruptcy, insurance companies and various schemes for tax optimization.Market Development savings insurance holding back a certain mistrust of citizens for financial institutions, the situation in 1990 - said the successor to General Director of OOO IC ERGO Life Alexander Rybakov. - A problem of trust - the main issue in insurance. also in this regard is very important that insurance companies are fully aware of their responsibility for profit public trust for the insurance industry. a mediator - a lack of professional financial consultants who know insurance products, causality-oriented in tax matters and investment. Great importance for the development of the market has improved insurance savings taxation, with which to win and insurance companies, employers and, most importantly, citizens. Noting how much public trust for private financial institutions is gradually increasing, CEO of ING Life Insurance Olga Ruf-Fiedler says: Insurers need to first tell people how much I have are, how we work, what means achieve profitability, it provides a reliable investment and guarantee payments. Companies need to be open, transparent, customer-centric. Now the Russians almost know nothing about life insurance - so they can believe us? Therefore, the dissemination of accurate information about the service - most importantly, how to help get the ball rolling. However, qualitative changes already taking place. According to the chief of analytical department of the Department of Strategic Development analizhotya JSC Kapital Insurance Andrei Bondarenko, by Following the second quarter of 2007, the age mix of awards for pages ahovaniyu life was 8.8 billion rubles. much more than a similar index of the last age to 85% (4.8 billion rubles) .. At the same time, the value of payments reached 6.1 billion rubles. against 4.1 billion rubles. for a similar period last year. Thus, the changes in Russian life insurance are a rebellious nature, - said Andriy Bondarenko.Alexander Rybakov with IC ERGO Life predicts, but in the next few years, profit market savings insurance be 40 - 50% per year. As the market is saturated growth rates will decline, but in 2010 the value of the life insurance market could reach $ 5 billion.Choose to save asEndowment life insurance is a multifaceted and give to be able to provide their age, to gather assets for education, major purchase, wedding, education, children, etc. OPRICH addition, the person signing the contract term life insurance, receive income in almost pure form - obtained by the accumulation of long-term contracts (5 - 10 years or more) of insurance are exempt from taxation.According to the CEO, the IWG Life by Nina Smirnova, pension coverage is starting to develop so much due to the growth of the economy, and increasing interest for life insurance from the people companies and the state. Pension Changes in Russia certainly has a stimulating effect to the market. Demographic situation, if declining fertility and increasing the average slowness of life, should encourage the young to the tribe what to think myself to take care of retirement savings, - said Nina Smirnova.Insurance allows for different variants of pension: about policyholder has the right to choose the currency of the insurance contract, the order of payment of premiums (lump sum or in installments), insurance premiums. commitment to the pension insurance provides the policyholder the right to decide the value of future pensions, the timing of payments (temporary or life pension), to designate beneficiaries to receive the pension. also for the desire of the insured may change the terms of the insurance contract, to increase or decrease the value of contributions and the value of pensions to the start of pension payments.Foreign insurers operating in Russia have to be able to retrieve this experience and technology of its parent companies. We have formed a substantial purse of insurance programs for both personal, and no reason for a corporate life insurance, - says Alexander Rybakov from ERGO Life . - This is a program of emergency, long-term life insurance, accident insurance for children and adults, a mixed life insurance, providing in one package as an increase in financial assets, including book and pensions, without cause and insurance protection for the family breadwinner for his case uhodhotya s life. We offer a unique insurance program for education for the children and guarantee the payment of childs learning even if the parent with care of life and stop paying dues. Additionally, society has developed a program with the release of contributions presence of the disability insurance for the event of a catastrophic illness. Advantage of retirement programs is guaranteed returns, which can not be minimized in the course of only the insurance period, the variability of software for the insurance period, date and order payment of a pension, the frequency of premium payments .
