about
Our founders
Sandy and David bonded over a shared passion for food and the idea for a new category of fresh dumplings in the UK, with a wider range of textures and flavours available to cook with ease at home. Thus Love Sum was born, inspired by the dumpling and its historic evolution along the Silk Roads; the original fusion food that is interpreted and re-interpreted by every culture it reaches.

Sandy Tang
Sandy is a chef and recipe developer, who cooked her way to the MasterChef finals in 2020. Born in the former Portuguese colony of Macau, where she lived until age 13, Sandy grew up surrounded by a unique fusion of cultures.Β
Having spent half her life in Asia and half in the UK, she feels comfortable embracing both Eastern and Western ideas and techniques when working in the kitchen, producing innovative culinary concepts that are still grounded in tradition.Β

David Solomon
David first travelled to India, Nepal, China, and Southeast Asia in 1991, and over the next three decades, his work and love for the region have taken him back over 40 times. With family spread over the world, making Eurasian dumplings according to recipes passed down through 4 generations has become a regular family activity and a way of connecting β hence the desire to make fresh, homemade dumplings more accessible in the UK.

Made in London
Our recipes were first developed by our founder Sandy in her home kitchen. As the business grew and for us to maintain good quality, we moved into the current kitchen in Park Royal, West London back in 2021. All our dumplings are now produced by a team of dumpling experts who are chosen for their experience in food production and passion in producing good food.
Journey of how to cook dumplings
Sandyβs experience of cooking dumplings has led to the way we cook Love Sum e.g. steam & pan-fry. Every dumpling is unique. Some are more suited to pan-frying with a crispy finish, while others are just as delicious when steamed on their own. This is also why we love dumplings so much, the cooking method depends on your mood and what you are craving. Along with a dipping sauce of your choice, you can transform them into dishes that perfectly suit any occasion
