Ad Hoc at Home
Thomas Keller
Most known for recipes that require all day preparation and/or an army of sous chefs, Thomas Keller now turns to what he refers to as “big bowl” food, the food we pass around the table at home. Keller’s home cooking includes crab cakes, braised artichokes, but also buttermilk fried chicken and brownies. Best of all are his light bulbs moments—bits of collected culinary wisdom such as using onion to both clean and grease pans. Glorious photos. Autographed copies available. Hardcover, 359 pp. $65.00.
