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 really like the balance of stories and recipes here. The photography was beautiful and the recipes seem straightforward and approachable. I noticed a few typos (differing instructions in heading vs recipe, “blanced” instead of “blanched, etc) that I feel like should have been picked up in editing. Would have loved a few more challenging recipes as well.
