| Question from Russ |
Do you know where I can buy a press for making small meatball.
Thank you.
Russ |
| Amy's Response |
Hi Russ- I generally use my hands or small cookie/ice cream scoops to make meatballs. I did find a couple option for you, though.
• Sur la Table has a meatballer that makes 2-inch meat balls
• So does Bed Bath & Beyond
Thanks for your email!

| Question from Maggie |
On your answers to "Ask Amy", you mention a pumpkin and brie dual soup you prepared. Could I please have the recipes for those soups? Had a pumpkin soup in Jamaica and have never found a recipe. Of course, liked the concept of the dual soups. Elegant presentation. Thanks, Maggie |
| Amy's Response |
Hi Maggie-
Thanks for watching - and for your email! The pumpkin soup recipe that I use is from Crisco. It has a fun option of serving the soup in a mini pumpkins. Click here for recipe for Pumpkin Soup.
Here's my Brie Soup recipe. Disregard the apple and almond garnish if you prepare it as a dual soup with the pumpkin. Use broth or cream to get the soups to the same consistency. You may need to add more brie for thickness, too.
Enjoy!

| Question from Angie |
Hi Amy,
I have been listening to your show on Q102 on Sunday mornings and have just recently been watching your show on Wednesday nights. I am a single gal and was wondering if you could do a show on cooking for one or if you had any ideas for easy meals for one person. After working all day, it would be nice to be able to fix a quick, healthy meal without all the mess and time spent cooking in the kitchen. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Angie-
Thanks for listening- and watching! I'm getting more and more requests for "cooking for one" info. I'll try to get a class on the schedule at EQ this summer.
Though it may sound counterintuitive, I'd suggest you cook more than you need on a regular basis. Cooking in quantity should make most of your meals go together faster. Your freezer becomes a wonderful kitchen tool! Here are some general tips:
• Cook full sized recipes that can be broken down into single-size portions and frozen for future meals. Healthy dishes like soups, chilis and stews make great choices. Tacos fillings made with beef or turkey freeze well, too. Cook once, and you'll have 4-6 meals ready to go in the freezer. You may have heard me talk about how much I love vacuum sealers- they work great for packaging food in individual portions for the freezer- and you can often re-heat right in the bag. Click here for the link.
• Share cooking duties with other singles and swap out dishes. One night a month one the group hosts a "swap night"- kind of like a cookie exchange- where each member brings a dish that has been portioned into individual meal sizes. Members leave with a variety of dishes to pop in their freezers.
• Entree salads are great. Pre-chop lots of vegetables to toss into pre-washed salad mixes and then top it with sliced, grilled chicken or fish. If you don't have a grill, try a grill pan for stove top grilling. You can grill up a chicken breast in no time flat. Grill an extra one for a quick wrap or quesadilla the next night.
• Fish can be purchased in single portions and cooks up so quickly. Today's Enquirer has a terrific list of 40 quick fish recipes. Cooking methods include grilling, broiling, baking- even microwaving. Click here for the link to the article. |
I hope this helps- and keep an eye out for a "Cooking for One" class at EQ this summer. Thanks for your email-

| Question from Marj |
Sorry to have to ask you to repeat this....but where can I find your Vinegarette Dressing that you all keep talking about?
Absolutely love your show. Am trying to get my group of couples and singles over to one of your classes soon!!!!! |
| Amy's Response |
Hi Marj-
Thanks so much for listening- and for your email! I'd love to see you at a class at EQ.
Here’s the much-discussed dressing from my “Chop Chop Salad” recipe in “Amy’s Table: Food for Family and Friends”
Enjoy!
Amy
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs or 1 tablespoon dried ( use a mixture of basil, oregano and thyme)
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
In the bowl of a blender or food processor, combine the vinegar, mustard and herbs. Process until well combined. With the motor running, add the oil in a steady stream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. |

Hi Amy:

| Question from John Campbell |
Hello Amy,
I have watched your show only twice but WOW, so informative and fun.... The chef making and combining TWO soups is a cool idea, and your decadent stew....oh my !
I cant wait to try some of your recipes.
Keep up the good work..
I'm a fan for sure,
John Campbell |
| Amy's Answer |
Hi John, Thank you so much for your email- it means a lot to all of us who work on the show! Chef Paul Dagenbach is so talented and his soup (and ideas) really did inspire me to pursue my career in food. It's my hope that Amy's Table inspires others in the same way.
I have a story about Paul's soup. I was honored to prepare a charity dinner for the Houston Symphony at my sister's home at which the conductor, Hans Graf, was the guest of honor. I made a variation of Paul's Dual Soup, using Pumpkin and Brie soups, for a 1st course.
Months later when Maestro Graff came to Cincinnati to guest conduct, he treated my husband and me to the performance and invited us back stage afterward. As he kissed my hand, my husband said "That must have been some soup". And it was. Another nod to Chef Paul Dagenbach for having a positive impact on my life!
Thank you again for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed the show. |
| Tip from Sandie |
Several weeks ago you talked about bringing your own bags with you when you grocery shop. I tried to call in then to tell you that Kroger has been offering a $.05 credit for each bag you bring in and use for YEARS! Not all the cashiers know the code, it's "49 enter". I've had to instruct many of them over the years. I keep extra bags in my car and am in the habit of carrying them in with me. Sometimes the cashiers, usually the kids, want to give you credit for ALL the bags you brought in. I tell them to only count what I use. I don't want to abuse it because then it might stop.
Just wanted to let you know, so you could let your listeners know. |
| Amy's Answer |
This is a great tip -- thanks for sharing! |
| Question from Ron and Patsy Zimmermann |
Hi Amy, If you could please, my wife and I would just like to know the address or ph.num at least of Madisono's gelato. If his gelato is anything like we had in Italy.. well, we would really like to try it. Thank you for your time. |
| Amy's Answer |
Hi Ron- I share your obsession! Matt Madison is not only a great guy, but he make fabulous gelato! His "factory" is not a retail store, but you can find his gelato at several gourmet shops, including The Party Source in Bellevue, KY. I'll ask Matt to let me know all of his retail locations and will post them as soon as possible. Once you've tried it, please let me know your thoughts. Chocolate Orange is my favorite! Thanks for watching! Amy

| Question from Sheryl |
Hi, Amy. My husband and I love listening to your show each Sunday morning on our way to Church. I heard you talk about the superfoods but I cannot locate the list . I have printed off the list of recipes and cannot wait to make a few of them. I have already been using the flax seed and have found that grinding it in a coffee grinder helps to incorporate it into recipes rather nicely. I like your idea on spinach. Thank you for your ideas. |
| Amy's Answer |
Thanks for listening! I love your tip about grinding flax seed in a coffee grinder. Two of my favorite healthy websites are: Healthcastle.com and Webmd.com Here’s the list of “Top Superfoods Offering Super Health Protection” from Webmd.com:
- Beans
- Blueberries
- Broccoli
- Oats
- Oranges
- Pumpkin
- Salmon
- Soy
- Spinach
- Tea (green or black)
- Tomatoes
- Turkey
- Walnuts
- Yogurt
