Gather & Graze Cookbook

From beloved Chicago restaurateur Stephanie Izard, named one of “10 Breakthrough Rock Star Chefs of 2016” by Rolling Stone, comes a cookbook with flavor and fun at the forefront, with more than 100 recipes and 100 photographs.

Since becoming Top Chef’s first female winner, Stephanie Izard opened three restaurants in Chicago, traveled around China, and became an Iron Chef. And now she’s here to share her next adventure: a cookbook with recipes that hit all of the right salty, savory, tangy, and sweet notes. Her craveable, knockout food pairings–the ones her fans have been clamoring for–will surprise and delight any home cook: Banh Mi Burgers, Duck Breast with Brown Butter Kimichi, Roasted Shishito Peppers with Sesame Miso and Parmesan, and Sticky Sweet Potato Cake with Blueberry-Tomatillo Jam.

ROCK STAR CHEF WHO CONTINUES TO SHINE: From a fan-favorite winner of Top Chef and one of Food & Wine’s “Best New Chefs” in 2010 to now a James Beard award-winning restaurateur and one of Rolling Stone’s “10 Breakthrough Rock Star Chefs of 2016,” Stephanie is an established food icon who continues to be buzzworthy.

CULT FAVORITE DISHES FROM ACCLAIMED RESTAURANTS: Stephanie’s restaurants—Girl & the Goat, Little Goat Diner, and Duck Duck Goat—have become must-go destinations for Chicago natives and tourists alike. After constantly being asked about certain dishes she serves, Stephanie is finally sharing how to make these coveted meals at home, which were absent from her first book.

AN EXCITING VARIETY OF DISHES: Stephanie’s culinary palate takes inspiration from everywhere. Her combinations of taste and texture, as well as global flavors—like Asian and Mexican—make her recipes both unique and approachable and the perfect inspiring mix of classic comfort foods with fresh new twists.

PLUS, FUN TIPS AND IDEAS FOR HOSTING: Throughout the book there are full menu ideas and notes on entertaining with food and drink for occasions such as the Fourth of July, Sunday Brunch, and even an Ice Cream for Dinner party.
