Since winning Season 4 of Bravo’s Top Chef competition, Chicagoan Stephanie Izard has proven herself worthy of the title. In 2010, she opened Girl & the Goat to rave reviews from food critics and diners alike; in 2011 the James Beard Awards nominated Goat in the best new restaurant category.
Now she’s added cookbook author to her list of accomplishments. Izard will sign copies of Girl in the Kitchen: How a Top Chef Cooks, Thinks, Shops, Eats and Drinks on Saturday, Dec. 17, noon, at the Book Cellar, 4736-38 N. Lincoln Ave. For a taste of Izard’s culinary genius, check out this excerpted recipe for sweet-and-sour eggplant with tomatillos.
