You won’t find complicated recipes, intimidating techniques and obscure ingredients in Ad Hoc at Home. What you will find are Thomas Keller’s surprisingly simple, incredibly satisfying family-style recipes. Keller rose to fame as the meticulous chef of The French Laundry (a Michelin Guide three-star-rated restaurant and serious contender for the best restaurant in America), but when he’s in his own kitchen, he takes a more relaxed approach. This, his first-ever book, written expressly for the home cook, is a pleasure to use for so many reasons, from its clever design and fun photography to 200 recipes and step-by-step photos that will help you enrich your culinary skills, as well as the lives of all for whom you cook. Color photos.

I love this book. I am a total foodie and love to cook. Anyone could use it, from someone who can cook with their eyes closed to someone who need a step by step. I love how he explains extra stuff that most people would not know. Give you reasons as to why to do this and not that. Great pictures also.

I have been eyeing this book forever in stores and on this site waiting for a good deal to buy it. This book did not disappoint. It has it all. Now if I could just work in some time to start putting it to use :)
The details are amazing. I have skimmed througvh some chapters read others and just can't wait to really put it to use. I am a cookbook junkie and this is a new favorite.
