Chicago Chefs Cook presents the “Chicago Chefs CookBook”. This magazine-style cookbook features 46 chefs from all over Chicagoland, showcasing their passion for cooking while supporting a worthy cause. Proceeds from the cookbook will benefit Chi-Care, a registered 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to ending hunger across Chicagoland.  

Chefs such as Sarah Stegner of Prairie Grass Cafe, Paul Virant of Vistro Prime, Sarah Grueneberg of Monteverde, Carrie Nahabedian of Brindille, and Joe Flamm of Rose Mary, among many others, have united to create a collection of dishes. The Chicago Chefs CookBook celebrates the culinary landscape of Chicago. Each chef contributed one signature recipe to the cookbook, providing readers with a taste of their culinary expression so home cooks can take a culinary adventure across the city—from Rubi’s on 18th in Pilsen, to Nakorn in Evanston, to Demera in Ravenswood, to Italian Village in the Loop, and more

The Chicago Chefs CookBook will be available for purchase at all 44 Mariano's locations for $9.99, with a special launch price of $6.99 from now through August. Proceeds from cookbook sales will go directly to Chi-Care, helping to fund their mission of providing essential services to those in need.

Chicago Chefs Cook is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created to unite and empower Chicagoland chefs to raise funds for humanitarian causes that are on the hearts and minds of the city’s culinary and hospitality communities. “Our goal through Chicago Chefs Cook is to bring people together to fundraise and uplift under a backdrop of delicious food and unity,” said co-founder Chef Sarah Stegner. “By creating this cookbook with the generous support of Mariano’s, we will be able to directly address hunger in the greater Chicagoland area.” Adds, co-founder Darren Gest, “We are so thankful to the talented chefs who have contributed their time and recipes to bring this project to life and are thrilled to give back to our own amazing city.”

Adds Amanda Puck of Mariano's, “We are thrilled to support these talented chefs and give our guests the opportunity to experience their delicious dishes while also giving back to our community through Chi-Care.”

Chi-Care, founded in March 2020, has been providing warm meals and survival items to unhoused populations in the Chicagoland area. By supporting the Chicago Chefs CookBook, readers can join the effort to end hunger and make a positive impact in their community.

To celebrate the launch of the cookbook, Mariano's will host a special event on Saturday, May 11th, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm at Mariano's Lakeview East, 3030 N Broadway. Chefs featured in the cookbook will be on site to autograph copies, along with representatives from Chicago Chefs Cook, Chi-Care, and Mariano's Division President Michael Marx. Guests can also partake in sampling from Mionetto, Hampton Water, and Jägermeister, as well as light bites provided by Mariano's.
