This is not a cookbook. It's a cook's book!
  • Hunting for truffle oil?
  • Have a recipe you'd love to try if only you knew where to by masa harina or garam masala?
  • Been meaning to get those knives sharpened?
  • Want to visit the exotic markets of Korea or Vietnam without getting on an airplane?
  • Interested in tasting the flavor of fresh turmeric, or daring a sniff of the infamous durian?
It's all right under your nose if you know where to look.

A Cook's Guide to Chicago takes you an a tasty romp through gourmet shops, ethnic supermarkets, chef's equipment stores, and much more. Follow author Marilyn Pocius as she divulges the shortcuts to finding what you need and introduces you to new worlds of flavor that are waiting just outside your door.

Pocius shares the culinary expertise she acquired in chef school and through years of footwork around the city searching for the perfect ingredients and suppliers. Each section includes store listings, cooking tips, and "Top 10 ingredients" lists to give readers a jump start on turning their kitchens into workshops of worldy cuisine. And don't fret, there are recipes, too.

Where to find everything you need and lots of things you didn't know you did!

Marilyn Pocius is a chef, food writer, and columnist. She grew up on the Southwest Side eating kolackys and black bread. At an early age she discovered risotto, mole sauce, and tandoori chicken. Ever since, she's been exploring Chicago foodways, from the hot to the haute, from the exotic to the everyday. She lives with her daughter, a dog, a cat, and a fridge full of weird ingredients.

Publication Date: May 2002 Specifications: 5.5" x 8.5", 277 pages, softcover

Makes a great souvenir, party favor, promotional item, or addition to a Chicago themed Gift Basket. Also great for Guest Amenities!
