Ad Hoc at Home (2009) represents a deliberate and revealing departure from the rarefied culinary world for which Keller is best known. The first and only American chef to hold simultaneous three-Michelin-star ratings at two restaurants - The French Laundry in Yountville, California, and Per Se in New York - Keller here turns his formidable technical precision toward the American comfort food canon, producing a volume of more than two hundred family-style recipes inspired by the menu of his casual Yountville restaurant, Ad Hoc. The book won the 2010 James Beard Foundation Award for Best General Cookbook and was a New York Times bestseller, with Publishers Weekly awarding it a starred review and praising it as accessible and dazzlingly beautiful.
