Categories: Cookbooks, Food & Wine

The Slanted Door: Modern Vietnamese Food (2014) by Charles Phan is a cookbook from his Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco. Phan opened The Slanted Door on Valencia Street in 1995, and the book follows the restaurant through its moves to Brannan Street and then to the Ferry Building. Organized in three acts that match those locations, it gathers about 100 recipes, from starters, salads and soups to cocktails, raw-bar dishes, mains and desserts, along with stories about the staff and the restaurant's history.
