Forklore: Recipes and Tales from an American Bistro
(Temple University Press, October 2007)

NOW AVAILABLE!  More than just a cookbook, Forklore tells the story of Fork and how it's menu is developed.  Gorgeously photographed and designed with over 100 illustrations, the 288-page book is Ellen's first-person accounts of Fork's history, detailing everything from securing financing, finding a location and choosing a chef, to being a key player in Philadelphia's storied restaurant boom.  Forklore includes all the ingredients - the people, the food, the ideas and the influences - that create the perfect dining experience.  Interspersed amongst these heart-warming and often humorous anecdotes are original recipes from the restaurant.

The book not only celebrates Fork, its cuisine and its accomplishments over the past decade, but gives readers a look at the inner workings of a restaurant that has delighted countless local, national and international visitors.
