Description
Finalist for the 2018 James Beard Foundation Book Awards for "Restaurant and Professional" categoryThe debut cookbook from one of the country's most celebrated and pioneering restaurants, Michelin-starred State Bird Provisions in San Francisco. Few restaurants have taken the nation by storm in the way that State Bird Provisions has. Inspired by their years catering parties, chefs Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski use dim sum style carts to offer guests small but finely crafted dishes ranging from Potato Chips with Crème Fraiche and Cured Trout Roe, to Black Butter-Balsamic Figs with Wagon Wheel Cheese Fondue, to their famous savory pancakes (such as Chanterelle Pancakes with Lardo and Maple Vinegar), along with a menu of more substantial dishes such as their signature fried quail with stewed onions. Their singular and original approach to cooking, which expertly blends seemingly disparate influences, flavors, and textures, is a style that has influenced other restaurants throughout the country and is beloved by diners, chefs, and critics alike. In the debut cookbook from this acclaimed restaurant, Brioza and Krasinski share recipes for their most popular dishes along with stunning photography, and inspire readers to craft an unforgettable meal of textures, temperatures, aromas, and colors that excite all of the senses.

Reviews
"When people talk about iconic California restaurants they talk about places like Chez Panisse and Zuni Café. I'll confidently add State Bird Provisions to that list. Each offers an experience that defines a special time and place in American dining. And all are guided not just by incredibly talented chefs but by amazing human beings. The book in your hands is a taste of what makes Stuart and Nicole's one-of-a-kind gem so special--from the inventive yet approachable recipes to the heartfelt writing. State Bird is more than a restaurant, it's a way of looking at life. And this book is its manual."
