Ad Hoc at Home
Ad Hoc at Home
by Thomas Keller
Staff Pick
Thomas Keller has yet again produced a true classic, this time for home cooks, with Ad Hoc at Home. This book gives both readers and cooks two temptations: to read it from cover to cover, and to cook from cover to cover.

Knives at Dawn: America's Quest for Culinary Glory at the Legendary Bocuse D'Or Competition
Knives at Dawn: America's Quest for Culinary Glory at the Legendary Bocuse D'Or Competition
by Andrew Friedman
Staff Pick
These behind-the-scenes reports offer a look at the real-life Top Chef, in which culinary teams fight to triumph over other competing nations. I love televised cooking contests, and Knives at Dawn packs in what is lost on the shows: the chefs' thoughts, the backstories, and the gossip. The action is gripping and intense — a great read for any foodie. In the words of Gavin Kaysen, former cheftestant and now judge: "Get ready for a wild ride."

Stir: Mixing It Up in the Italian Tradition
Stir: Mixing It Up in the Italian Tradition
by Barbara Lynch
Staff Pick
This is my latest favorite cookbook. Besides good recipes, a good cookbook needs three things: great pictures, a story to tell, and it needs to teach you more about cooking than you already know. Stir has inspired me to make my own ricotta cheese (it's easier than you might think), and it's refreshing to find a notable chef who enjoys the humble iceberg lettuce. These thoughtfully presented recipes range from simple to fancy-pants.
