There has been a lot of poultry on my mind lately. Maybe because it is Fall and the air is a bit crisp Or that the pie contest is on SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY! But I heard this weekend that its going to be crisp 100 degrees in Southern California. So it's totally Autumn.
When I think of chicken, I think of Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc.

Oh there's a pig on the cover...
There we go. We took a trip out to Napa for Memorial Day. While we didn't eat at Ad Hoc, we at at Addendum. I had to try the fried chicken. We were in this mood where we had to make fried chicken and that the fried chicken from Ad Hoc would be a good control. It was a good as I thought it would be. Armed with this taste memory, I made the chicken according to Ad Hoc at Home and it was effing delish!
This book, to me, is the perfect Fall book.
Oh, A summer vegetable gratin?
Well, uhh, does it look a little familiar?
FUN FACT: Thomas Keller was the food consultant on the Pixar movie, Ratatouille.
This book is great reference book for almost anything. Need a Thanksgiving side dish? A chicken pot pie recipe perhaps? Ad Hoc's got it! Thomas Keller's cooking is beyond me, see Per Se. What I love about Ad Hoc at Home is that it is food for the home and they are easily adaptable.
