No matter how many times and how many people review a book manuscript, there’s something that slips by. For that reason, it’s normal for authors and editors to compile a list of errata — a late 16th, early 17th century word for errors that’s commonly used in publishing. Errata are corrected for in the next printing of a book. It’s come to my attention that the following errata are in the Asian Dumplings cookbook:
In the “Thin Skins” chapter, there are incorrect page
references. Check the ingredient listing for the spring roll and lumpia recipes and you’ll see that the current page listing for the skins themselves points to Cantonese Spring Roll Skins on page 64, not the Shanghai Spring Roll Skin recipe on page 81. At least we were consistently
incorrect! To recap:
- page 84: 18 to 20 Shanghai Spring Roll Skins (page
6481)- page 87: 18 to 20 Shanghai Spring Roll Skins (page
6481)I misspelled one of my recipe tester’s surnames in the Acknowledgments. Candy (Candace) Moyer Grover pointed it out to me with good humor, saying that she’d been elevated to being Bill Moyer’s spouse! Lo siento. Mea culpa. Thanks for giving me a pass, Candy.
Whether in print or online, my policy is to be upfront and transparent to readers. Ten Speed Press will be making adjustments in the next printing of the book, but until then, do note the changes in your copies of Asian Dumplings!

If you want to see a long errata list, look above.
Your two errors are nothing compared to theirs =)
Throughout the book we call for “1 1/2 tablespoons of yeast (1 1/2 packets).” It should read “1 1/2 tablespoons of yeast (2 packets).”
