Hey there - If you read this blog even a little, you know I’m a fan of technique over recipes; ratios over complications. If that sounds like something you might like to delve into, check out this new book. The Ad Hoc at Home cook book has just recently been released, and it’s delicious. Like all of Keller’s books, the photos are sexy, the writing is inspirational, and the mofo is heavy. But this is a buttoned down T.K. This is the backyard, crack a brewsky, slip into my yacht loafers T.K. According to insiders, we can thank Chef Dave Cruz for this accessibility. He spent months with out a day off in order to work on this book, and he put his heart and soul into it. Bravo, Chef.
Here’s Chef Keller and me. Chef Cruz is in the background right.
I had a copy signed for a friend, and the inscription reads “It’s all about family”.

About swfoodworks
Hey! I hope you are well, and eating well. My name is Scott Wiese, and SW Food Works is a project where I work with small groups of people (households) to help inform the way their food and cooking is understood and appreciated. It is my inspiration to help people achieve their own food-related goals. I have also been working with a CHEK practitioner (hi, Shane!) to develop menus and deliver meals for his clients' healthy lives.
For the last decade I have been busy in restaurants all over the country. I hold a culinary degree from the New England Culinary Institute, and I have held positions from General Manager to Sous Chef in properties ranging from forty five seats to ten thousand square feet.
I wanted to start keeping track of all the food-related bits in my life, and sharing the goods with the interweb-world.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to sharing with you -
-Scott
