SynopsisThomas Keller shares family-style recipes that you can make any or every day. In the book every home cook has been waiting for, the revered Thomas Keller turns his imagination to the American comfort foods closest to his heart--flaky biscuits, chicken pot pies, New England clam bakes, and cherry pies so delicious and redolent of childhood that they give Proust's madeleines a run for their money. Keller, whose restaurants The French Laundry in Yountville, California, and Per Se in New York have revolutionized American haute cuisine, is equally adept at turning out simpler fare. In Ad Hoc at Home --a cookbook inspired by the menu of his casual restaurant Ad Hoc in Yountville--he showcases more than 200 recipes for family-style meals. This is Keller at his most playful, serving up such truck-stop classics as Potato Hash with Bacon and Melted Onions and grilled-cheese sandwiches, and heartier fare including beef Stroganoff and roasted spring leg of lamb. In fun, full-color photographs, the great chef gives step-by-step lessons in kitchen basics-- here is Keller teaching how to perfectly shape a basic hamburger, truss a chicken, or dress a salad. Best of all, where Keller's previous best-selling cookbooks were for the ambitious advanced cook, Ad Hoc at Home is filled with quicker and easier recipes that will be embraced by both kitchen novices and more experienced cooks who want the ultimate recipes for American comfort-food classics., New York Times bestseller IACP and James Beard Award Winner "Spectacular is the word for Keller's latest . . . don't miss it." --People "A book of approachable dishes made really, really well." --The New York Times Thomas Keller shares family-style recipes that you can make any or every day.

  • Wonderful Cookbook by a Master Chef

    Thomas Keller is the only American chef to have been awarded simultaneous three-star Michelin ratings for two different restaurants. He is, quite simply, phenomenal. "Ad Hoc" is a cookbook for the rest of us--it has family-style recipes like barbecued chicken and strawberry shortcake), plus lots of lessons and instructions to help anyone become a better cook. If his "French Laundry Cookbook" is a bit fancy for what you want to do every day, "Ad Hoc" is a great, approachable cookbook by a master chef.

    Thomas Keller is one of my very admired chef. He created recipes that can be easily sourced and created at home. I find many comfort food recipes in the book worth trying.
