CC Loves... Dumpling Daughter!

Darlings, happy Lunar New Year! It's a time for regeneration, reinvention, positivity, and delicious delights! CC is proud to feature female entrepreneur Nadia Liu Spellman, founder of Dumpling Daughter. Nadia created her restaurants and online shop as an ode to the Chinese restaurant her parents opened in the1980s.

Dumplings & Buns! Dumpling available in Chicken and Cabbage, Pork and Chive, or Classic Vegan Vegetable; Buns available in Roasted Pork or Vegetable. Enjoy steamed or pan seared!
The Cookbook! The recipe that started it all needed to not only be written down but shared with all who craved it! Nadia launched her cookbook with her mother, celebrity chef, Sally Ling in 2022, The Dumpling Daughter Cookbook: Heirloom recipes from our restaurants and home kitchens.
2025 Lunar New Year Celebration! Dumpling Daughter is gifting 300 lucky red envelopes at three restaurant locations, beginning 1/29/25! The first 100 customers will receive a red envelope with filled with mystery prizes including:
