Amy Tobin has her finger on the pulse of what home cooks really want.

For over a decade, this well-known Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky culinary director has taught thousands of at-home chefs just how doable dishes can gracefully move from casual family meals to elegant dinner parties.

A working mom who runs a cooking program and hosts a weekly radio lifestyle show, Amy understands that home cooks need simple and approachable recipes--but with a degree of style.

Now, in Amy's Table, she makes sensational cooking a cinch and her secrets for success available. Well-written, concise recipes feature ordinary and accessible ingredients, so that anyone can achieve perfection with each and every dish.

Believing that "great cooking should be great fun," Amy reveals quick and easy ways to create dazzling meals. Filled with color photos, make-ahead instructions, and helpful tips, Amy's Table is a cooking course without ever leaving your kitchen.

From lemon buttermilk waffles, to creole pasta, to spiced pumpkin pie, you're sure to find mouth-watering culinary treats that will make any home cook a hit.

Through her practical, yet beautiful, presentation ideas that help add a touch of class and zest to any meal, Amy will show you how to create high-end meals without the high-end prices.

Amy's passion for good food is matched by her passion for a comfortable, but lively, dining experience. Home cooks will share this experience, delighting in the satisfaction of food that is both full of flavor and full of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful cookbook - tons of photos, plus practical recipes., November 14, 2011
This review is from: Amy's Table: Food for Family & Friends (Hardcover)
Amy Tobin hosts a weekly radio cooking show, and acts as a culinary consultant for several major food companies. In short, this is a lady who knows her her way around a kitchen. She has put together a very approachable and useful cookbook, packed full of great recipes. I knew I would like Amy when she began her Breakfast chapter with "My morning routine is so important to me. My husband brings me coffee and the paper in bed, and I spend nearly an hour there..." Then she kicks it off with recipes for Tequila-Spiked Fruit Salad with Lime and Cinnamon Sugar Churros. Amy has some pretty great morning ideas, doesn't she?

She also has some terrific ideas for later in the day, along with helpful party tips. The appetizers provided are specifically designed to be both simple to prepare and tasty, ideal for impromptu entertaining. While she makes a point of ease of preparation, these are by no means ordinary. I think her ideas are innovative and the finished dishes appear quite elegant. A wheel of brie gets a makeover with an edible flower petal and herb design, and her Asian Chicken Salad is anything but ordinary when peppered with water chestnuts and chopped peanuts, served on endive spears. If the soups and salads don't win you over, the Seasoned Onion Straws will. Thinly cut Vidalia onions emerge spicy and crunchy - I could make a meal of these.

If you are a visual cook, you will be thrilled to hear there is a large, full-color, full-page photo of every recipe. These are telling me that I think I have finally found my recipe for Chicken Piccatta, chicken breasts pounded flat, lightly breaded and swimming in a sauce of lemon juice and capers. I also marked the Caramel Crepes with Brandied Caramel Sauce and Toasted Pecans, simply because you would have to be crazy not to. I was maybe most impressed by the last recipe - directions on making your own Limoncello. Wouldn't that make a great hostess gift?
