Ad Hoc at Home by Thomas Keller, Autographed
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, cherry pies and much more.
Keller, whose restaurants The French Laundry in Yountville, California, and Per Se in New York have revolutionized American haute cuisine, is equally adept at preparing simpler meals. In this cookbook inspired by the menu of his casual restaurant Ad Hoc in Yountville, he showcases more than 200 recipes for family-style meals.
This book captures Keller at his most playful, serving up such truck-stop classics as potato hash with bacon and melted onions, and heartier fare including beef stroganoff and roasted spring leg of lamb. With the help of fun full-color photographs, the great chef gives step-by-step lessons in kitchen basics, like 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 welcomed by both kitchen novices and more experienced cooks who want the master’s ultimate recipes.
For this book, ‘Autographed’’ refers to a signed bookplate.
