Thomas Keller Recipes from Ad Hoc at Home Cookbook

It started out as a simple google search of the cookbook Ad Hoc at Home, but somewhere around "blow torch prime rib," I took a distracted turn. I immediately got tangled up in a web of results, and then spent all of the daylight hours of Friday and pretty deep into the darkness of Friday night thrashing my way through my special, psychotic, web-food-point-oh version of Amazing Race collecting all of Chef Thomas Keller recipes I could find.

I made it out alive. Barely.

And with a tiny treasure, too.

That is if 30+ of approximately 200 Thomas Keller recipes from Ad Hoc at Home all available in one place (here) is considered a treasure.

It is. It is a treasure! Just tell me it is so I don't go crying hot tears of wasteful shame into the bowl of buttery, fatty feelings, aka TKells' Butter Poached Marble Potatoes, that I will eat to cope.

Thomas Keller Shares Casual Recipes in Ad Hoc at Home

Yes, I spent the better (and worse) part of Friday hunting down every single recipe from Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc at Home cookbook that is reprinted on the web, or at least on the web as deep as page 34 of search results. It wasn't the actual searching for recipes that took time. Google collected 12 million findings in 0.12 seconds and I filtered out about 30 in the two hours between lunch and afternoon snack. However, while 30-ish (plus the one for Blowtorch Prime Rib Roast I did myself, and more coming in as time goes on) seems insignificant in the grand scheme of Thomas Keller's 200 recipes, copying, pasting, linking, double checking, downloading, cropping, uploading and formatting links and images takes, well, and entire uninterrupted Friday.

Apparently, the Ad Hoc at Home does not have a formal Table of Contents, but the following is a list of all the recipes in the book, with links to different blogs and websites that have tried the recipes, most of them with a re-print of the original recipe.

If Simple Roast Chicken is what made the Bouchon cookbook so important, then it is the recipe for Thomas Keller's Fried Chicken that shows up first in the Ad Hoc at Home cookbook.

And if the only recipe you could ever hope and dream for is one that involves a blowtorch, well, here you go. You're welcome.

Check out this post for a list of all the recipes from Thomas Keller's Bouchon cookbook. Yeah, not me obsessed with Thomas Keller, right?
