"The 37-year-old Chinatown favorite House of Nanking is releasing a cookbook next week, full of decades worth of the restaurant's most popular recipes, plus a number of long-lost dishes that haven't been on the menu in years. Since its opening in 1988, Chinatown's famed House of Nanking has been one of the city's most beloved Chinese restaurants for both locals and tourists, and it's certainly Keanu Reeves's favorite."
"The book is very much about the journey, from my dad emigrating from China to the US, and how he became the chef that he is, Kathy Fang tells SFist. Because he is not classically trained. He never even worked in a restaurant prior to moving to America. He is completely self-taught. There's the stories and recipes in . The recipes that put us on the map, she adds."
House of Nanking will release a cookbook on Tuesday, September 30, compiling decades of the restaurant's most popular recipes and several long-lost dishes. The book is written by Peter and Kathy Fang and traces Peter Fang's path from Chinese immigrant to busboy, bartender, server, cook, and owner of the celebrated Chinatown restaurant. The recipes capture three generations of Fang family cooking dating back to Shanghai and include many classic dishes that previously left the menu. Kathy Fang grew up in the restaurant, later opened Fang in SoMa, and achieved food-TV recognition and a 2022 Food Network docuseries about the family.
