Gyozas, pierogies, empanadas, siaopao… if the world’s cuisines share one common food it would be the dumpling, a dish that can be found on every continent on Earth and in every corner of Toronto. In What We Talk About When We Talk About Dumplings, a group of Toronto food writers, journalists, culinary historians and chefs come together to share the cultural histories, lore, recipes and more behind each variation of this globe-spanning cuisine.

Is a ravioli a dumpling? Should matzo balls sink or swim? Join editor John Lorinc and contributors Karon Liu and Chantal Braganza for an evening of conversation, food tastings and stories in this celebration of all things dumplings.

This event will be followed by a book signing.
