Cookbooks
Two award-winning books in one box offer a lifetime
of learning for anyone who loves fine food.
From two acclaimed restaurants came two of
the most acclaimed, award-winning cookbooks ever
published—now packaged together in a luxurious slipcased
boxed set, the ideal holiday gift for any food lover.
First there was French Laundry in Napa Valley,
setting a new standard for American fine dining. Then there
was The French Laundry Cookbook, setting a new
standard for American cookbooks. In 2006, Chef Keller opened
Ad Hoc, his casual family-style restaurant that serves a
single menu a day, and that restaurant, too, gave birth to a
groundbreaking cookbook, in fact a New York Times
best seller. Whereas Ad Hoc at Home offers a
huge happiness-inducing collection of family-style recipes
that includes lunch-counter favorites—lemon meringue and
cherry pie; such classics as Buttermilk Fried Chicken and
Herbed Rack of Lamb, plus Thomas’s mom’s coconut cake and
his dad’s favorite meatballs—The French Laundry
Cookbook is a culinary ode to finesse. Every recipe in
it has become a classic: from Keller’s Salmon Cornets to his
Oysters and Pearls and Butter-Poached Lobster. From the
casual but carefully considered food of Ad Hoc at
Home to The French Laundry Cookbook’s recipes at
their most refined, this is cooking that delivers in taste,
and makes us all better cooks.
