Forklore: Recipes and Tales from an American Bistro

Forklore is a collection of recipes and stories from Ellen Yin, one of the leading restaurateurs in the country.  In it, Yin tells of the beginnings of Fork, and how it coincided with Philadelphia's second restaurant renaissance.  She describes how she fell in love with food, how Fork was born, and of the chefs who came through Fork's doors and helped contribute to its unique cuisine.  And through it all, she offers recipes -- simple, delicious, and easy to cook at home -- that represent the flavors of Fork and American bistro cooking.
