This is comfort food with a foundation of fine dining hidden behind it. Ad Hoc at Home comes from none other than Thomas Keller and brings the spirit of his family-style restaurant Ad Hoc right into your kitchen. The recipes? Familiar favorites like fried chicken, pot roast, and yes, even the humble wedge salad—but reimagined by one of the best in the business.What we really love is how approachable it all feels. Keller lets his guard down here, and you can tell he’s having fun. The recipes are made for small gatherings, so you can cook straight from the book without scaling things down or getting fancy with conversions. It's like having a world-class chef whispering tips over your shoulder—except it's your kitchen, your friends, your table. It’s warm, relaxed, and full of little surprises that’ll have you saying, “Wait, that’s how you make that?” Classic dishes, done the Keller way. What’s not to love?
