Are you all thumbs in the kitchen? Can you tell the difference between a stamped and a forged knife? Well, one evening in the presence of an expert won’t transform you into a culinary wizard, but you can still pick up a few pointers. Season Four “Top Chef” winner Stephanie Izard shares some of her magic with the rest of us at this holiday-inspired demonstration and tasting. Local talent Izard will take questions from those in attendance while the wine flows. Mingle with food lovers and trade horror stories with other oven-impaired patrons. 6:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Now We’re Cooking Culinary Service Center, 1601 Payne St., Unit C, Evanston. $50, $25 with valid student ID; 847-570-4140 or www.nwcookin.com.
