Congratulations to Chicago chef Stephanie Izard, winner of Top Chef: Chicago, the highly anticipated fourth season of Bravo’s Emmy-winning, hit reality series.

Recipes

• Seared Scallops with Bacon-Braised Chard
  “When you learn how to cook scallops with a crisp golden crust, they’re just so good,” says Top Chef winner Stephanie Izard.
• Duck with Miso-Almond Butter
  After experimenting with miso paste and flavorful Spanish marcona almonds, Stephanie Izard created a delectable nutty-sweet butter that she serves with meaty seared duck breasts.
• Halibut with Pork-and-Peanut Ragù and Cilantro Sauce
  Stephanie finds that the sweet notes of an off-dry Gewürztraminer pair well with the tamarind in the sauce, “and a beautiful white wine is always nice with halibut.”

Profile + Features

• Top Chef Wine Challenge
