Award-winning chef and restaurateur Charles Phan opened The Slanted Door in San Francisco in 1995, inspired by the food of his native Vietnam. Since then, The Slanted Door has grown into a world-class dining destination, and its accessible, modern take on classic Vietnamese dishes is beloved by diners, chefs, and critics alike. The Slanted Door is a love letter to the restaurant, its people, and its food. Featuring stories in addition to its most iconic recipes, The Slanted Door both celebrates a culinary institution and allows home cooks to recreate its excellence.
"I have had more great meals at The Slanted Door than I can count. The cuisine has never failed to be reliably delicious. Charles Phan has brilliantly turned America on to the flavors of Vietnam and the genius of his thinking is laid out in this book." -Rajat Parr, co-author of Secrets of the Sommeliers and wine director of the Mina Group
