Product Description
Edible pockets are a wonderful way to enclose food – for appetizers, breakfasts, lunches, picnics, casual suppers and desserts. Edible Pockets for Every Meal has been a nitty gritty® best-seller since 1994, bringing together a huge collection of edible pocket recipes from around the world. Whether called dumplings, turnovers, pasties, calzones, empanadas, piroshki, boreks, quesadillas, knishes, pot stickers or samosas, edible pockets are universal. This newly revised and updated cookbook has lots of recipes for savory fillings made from poultry, meat, seafood, cheese, vegetables and herbs; sweet fillings made with fruit, nuts, chocolate and cream cheese; ready-made wrappers and wrappers made from yeast and pastry dough. There is also extensive information about ingredients, food pairing suggestions and equipment – even a section on leftovers.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Edible Pockets for Every Meal: Dumplings, Turnovers and Pasties (Nitty Gritty Cookbook) (Nitty Gritty Cookbook) (Paperback)
My copy of this unpretentious little book is rapidly getting dog-eared. If the recipes weren't so very good, my family would surely be dog-tired of pies and turnovers by now, because I can't seem to stop making them! I literally had to start decorating my productions so that we could distinguish the three or four kinds we usually have on hand. The book has two parts, one on wrappers, and one on fillings. Wrappers are further subdivided into yeasted, pastry, and ready-made wrappers. Fillings are split into Savoury, Vegetarian Savoury, and Sweet. I have no sweet tooth whatsoever, so I can't comment on the sweet fillings, but of the fifteen or twenty savoury fillings I've made so far, there has only been one dud. So why only four stars? 1) The section on pastry wrappers could be a little longer, with more instruction on the often-devilish details of pastry-making. 2) I like my fillings to have interesting textures. Ms. German seems to prefer puréeing everything. 3) She has a tendency to overcook fillings (astonishing comment, coming from a Brit!) 4) She has a fondness for frozen vegetables. The last three quibbles are obviously easily rectified by adjusting the recipes to your taste. Highlights: Spicy Asian Chicken, Chinese Orange Beef, Piroshki, and both of the empanada recipes. Ladies and Gentlemen, start your bread machines!
