These women (all leaders in the food and dining business) tell how the Chicago food scene grew and evolved; their survey includes dining highlights like Charlie Trotter's and Frontera Grill, the rise of new ethnic cuisines from around the world, and the proliferation of shops, markets, and classes serving the ever more sophisticated home cook. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut that's not all. Also included are a bounty of recipes and tips for entertaining from this unique group of Chicago food authorities, chosen especially for this book. There are 75 truly outstanding recipes -- some traditional Chicago classics (which include world-famous dishes like Shrimp de Jonghe and Chicken Vesuvio, among many others), and some arranged into menus tailored for entertaining -- and each includes wine suggestions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovering everything from a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and a decadent Valentine's dessert buffet to a simple spring meal or casual Moroccan affair, these recipes are sure to please. Chicago Cooks is a one-of-a-kind book for everyone who cares about Chicago, food, and cooking. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes Dames d'Escoffier Chicago's proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Community Kitchens Program of The Greater Chicago Food Depository. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood condition.
