Ellen Yin is owner of Fork Restaurant, the acclaimed New American Bistro in Old City, Philadelphia.  Since its opening in 1997, Fork has received many regional and national accolades including being named one of the "Best New Restaurants" by Philadelphia magazine and one of Philadelphia's "Top Tables" by Gourmet magazine.  In 2004, she expanded Fork to include Fork:etc, a specialty food store with prepared foods, artisanal and gourmet products.  Now celebrating its tenth anniversary, Fork continues to delight new visitors from throughout the world as well as its own local fans. Her last cookbook, From Our Restaurant's Kitchen, a compilation of the restaurant's recipes and staff favorites, benefited scholarships for inner city students.
