Wei's Ad Hoc At Home. My attempt in cooking through the recipes inside Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc At Home. Saturday, January 1, 2011. This is the entree for my 2010 NYE dinner. My friend Andrew who bought me the book specifically asked for this dish for the new year, I figure you can't go wrong with fried chicken no matter how badly you screw it up :). Dry ingredients for the brine. Bringing the brine to a boil. The "10-piece-cut" from a whole chicken. Now onto the exciting part, frying! I am not sure why ou...

Wei's Ad Hoc At Home. My attempt in cooking through the recipes inside Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc At Home. Monday, February 21, 2011. Something about meat balls and pasta that's always so comforting. Abby (my friend's daughter) is a huge fan of it and for February I decided to satisfy her cravings as it's one of her most commonly ordered food items in a restaurant no matter where she goes. Onions, Leeks and Fennel in the Oven. Imported San Marzano Tomatoes. Canned San Marzano Tomatoes. After baking the tomat...

Wei's Ad Hoc At Home. My attempt in cooking through the recipes inside Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc At Home. Sunday, March 27, 2011. Endive and Arugula Salad. This is a very simple salad dish to make and looked lovely in the book, so I thought I would have it as the first course for my March Adhoc At Home supper evening. The bitterness of the endives and arugula is offset by the sweetness of the peach dressing. Peach Puree cooking with sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon. Finished Peach Puree for Salad Dressing. I thin...

Wei's Ad Hoc At Home. My attempt in cooking through the recipes inside Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc At Home. Sunday, March 27, 2011. This dish reminds me of the Chinese green onion pancakes that's a favorite amongst many. I wanted a side item for the halibut main dish and this seemed like a good choice. There are only 4 ingredients for this delicious side, and it's pretty easy to make if you got some basic tools. Grated potatoes using a hand grater. Use a 10 inch non stick frying pan, make sure there's enough ...

Thin layer of schmear in a 9 inch cake pan. Then we prepare the other 1/2 of the cake, which is the cake batter itself. The batter needs cake flour - which is a different kind of wheat flour.

Chanterelle mushrooms w/shallots and butter. Chanterelle mushrooms and spinach. After frying for a few minutes, we do the same for the 2nd batch and then set the fish in a 350 degr...

Wei's Ad Hoc At Home. My attempt in cooking through the recipes inside Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc At Home. Monday, February 21, 2011. Green Bean and Potato Salad. I started with the green beans, after cleaning and clipping away the stems, I used the traditional vegetable blanch - ice bath - cooling method to cook them through. The result is fabulous as always. If you need a refresher on how this works, you can check out my broccoli rabe. Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes. Paper Thin Radish Slices with Mandolin. Finis...
