And hes just published New Classic Family Dinners, with recipes for chicken pot pie, cornmeal crusted pan fried trout, spaghetti and meatballs with instructions for grinding the three kinds of meat yourself. But though this is home cooking, its a far cry from the popular quick and easy school that is designed to let you get dinner on the table in the time it takes to watch an episode of The Office. Both chefs make clear that they have another, higher aim to make you a better cook. Sometimes ingredients make you work hard and take an extra step or two to yield the extra bit of flavor that makes a dish memorable, Peel writes. Thats a different tone from the one in Mark Peel Nancy Silverton at Home Two Chefs Cook for Family Friends, published in 1. Master classes. Even though they contain complicated recipes, the books are aimed at those who might not have a lot of experience cooking. They are at heart primers on cooking. Most of the dishes in Kellers and Peels new books arent as involved as the Catalan beef stew. Ad Hoc is by far the most approachable of Kellers cookbooks, which include The French Laundry, Bouchon and last years Sous Vide. Ad Hoc may be Keller without his chefs coat on complete with waggish photos and illustrated cartoon bubbles above his head, but he is still going to tell you how to become a better cook. Besides showing you how to soft cook an egg, roast a chicken, prepare a good pie crust and make one really good soup, he outlines techniques to build on big pot blanching, poaching, roasting, pan roasting, braising and sauteing. By following steps you might not ordinarily take, you gain a better understanding of techniques and how they change dishes. I know how to roast a prime rib roast the way my mom does it. But this is how Keller does it Slowly roast at 2. Um, wow. While making Peels lasagna with creamed spinach and poached egg, youre also familiarizing yourself with making a flour thickened sauce bechamel and a rich, complex stew Bolognese sauce, as well as poaching an egg. Many of his recipes are compound recipes that rely on building blocks. Beer braised brisket includes caramelized vegetables. Rabbit cacciatore calls for making rabbit broth. For a Waldorf salad, you make your own mayonnaise but you could also use purchased mayonnaise. Of course, many of these chefs touches come at a price. In Ad Hoc, written with chef de cuisine Dave Cruz, Keller promises recipes that are doable at home. No immersion circulator required. But that doesnt mean you wont need a candy thermometer to make a salad. For endive and arugula with peaches and Marcona almonds, you spend what feels like two hours to make a few cups of peach puree peaches cooked with sugar, spices and lemon juice to 2.

It is one of the best salads I have ever made. Many of the recipes in the chapters titled basics and life savers represent the extra step that makes a dish outstanding the peach puree, the soffritto, cherry gastrique, pickled garlic, chive oil, cured lemons, deep fried herbs. Theyre the chapters that I keep turning back to, eyeing recipes for pistachio butter, potted Rainier cherries with rum and vanilla bean, tomato basil marmalade, artichoke tapenade. Be prepared. But they also mean you shouldnt make the mistake of not reading through the entire main recipe and any sub recipes. I made that error, and the five hour soffritto for the Catalan beef stew took me by surprise. Hey, I thought I knew soffritto, the way Id learned to make it from two women in a village outside of Girona, Spain, who cooked the onions and tomatoes for about an hour total. Kellers is a 2 12 hour confit of onions, to which tomatoes are added and slow cooked for another 2 12 hours. But as with the peach puree, a little soffritto goes a long way.
