Chicago Cooks

Now available, Chicago Cooks is a cookbook celebrating Chicago's food history over the last 25 years, told through the eyes of the Chicago Chapter of Les Dames d' Escoffier Chicago. Innovators and trailblazers from Chicago's rich culinary landscape have contributed recipes, reflecting the many ethnic and cultural influences that make up our great city. With a focus on simple, fresh cooking, it's a practical resource for any home kitchen. Tastybeat especially likes the everyday recipes from brunch to dinner as well as the fun dinner party concepts. What's more, a portion of the royalties from Chicago Cooks will go to the Community Kitchen Program at the Chicago Food Depository.

On Friday, June 6, join some of Chicago's top women culinarians at Now We're Cookin' in Evanston as they demonstrate recipes from Chicago Cooks. Book signing to follow. Reservations required at nwcookin.com.
