Thomas 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.
