OK folks, I'm doing it: giving away a copy of Thomas Keller's new cookbook, "Ad Hoc at Home." It has a small tear on the book jacket but I don't think a true Keller fan is going to turn up their nose at a free cookbook over that.
You have until noon, Friday, Feb. 19 to leave a comment at the bottom of THIS post to be entered for a chance to win.
NOTE: Don't leave a comment at the bottom of one of my reminder posts because you won't be in the drawing to win. Only leave a comment at the bottom of this original post.

Ad Hoc At Home
Wed, 03/31/2010 - 15:13 — gemstoneWell, I like to cook on a "ad hoc" basis at home!! Though certainly not a gourmet cook, I do please the palates of friends and family. This book is desirable so that I can develop new ideas. Thanks Thomas Keller and the N&O for the chance to win!

Fri, 02/19/2010 - 12:11 — venus50Keller encourages us to try in the kitchen. AD HOC AT HOME provides a tool to do this. Would love to have the book to help in the effort.
Yes, please!

Keller's cooking ways
Fri, 02/19/2010 - 09:24 — nnicollI read a review of this book in Esquire where the reviewer and his brother were trying to cook a meal from the new book and having Keller come over. Talk about stressful, but Keller seemed like such a relaxed REAL cook instead of some stuffy look down the nose type. Jumped in and helped and gave real tips on what to do if things do go a tad astray, the corn had been over salted so he suggested just putting it over the fish and not salting the fish as much to compensate,
Anyway I would love a copy of this book.
Great giveaway! I love

French Laundry story
Wed, 02/17/2010 - 13:34 — glossonncMy wife and I visited the French Laundry in 2004. Our first getaway after our youngest child was born in 2000. I booked on the exact day in advance that you could book and was excited for several months leading up to it. We stayed at Auberge Du Soleil and the day of our dinner I wake up with fever and chills feeling awful. I suffer through the day, visit a local Dr. in Napa, and get to the French Laundry. I have about 5 layers of clothing on trying to keep warm, but the chills are so bad my teeth are chattering in the restaurant. I make it the through the first course. The wonderful wait staff ask me several times if I am okay. I give it one more course and I can't go any further. My wife explains to the manager that I have pneumonia, but since I travelled from Raleigh I insisted on keeping my reservation. The manager comes over, gives me two signed menus, and says that they meal is on them and sends me back to the hotel. I have never had the opportunity to return, however, my wife and I visited Per Se in New York over Thanksgiving and it is fantastic. Someday I hope to make it back and have a full dining experience at the French Laundry. Until that happens I'd love a copy of the cookbook....maybe I can create a small sample of what I missed. Thanks.
