Iliana Regan Biography

Why Regan is amazing: Her exquisite Nordic-style cooking highlights Midwestern ingredients (acorn puree pickled crab apples wild greens cured bear meat). It’s fascinating beautiful rustic and modern all at once.
Born: Merrillville IN 1979
Résumé: Stages at Trio Schwa L20 and Table Fifty-Two Chicago. Regan started Elizabeth as an underground supper club which she opened in her Chicago home hosting elaborate tasting menu dinners on weekends.
Education: Studied chemical engineering at Indiana University; degree in fiction writing from Columbia College Chicago
Quintessential dish: Hen-of-the-woods mushrooms with edible weeds juniper vinaigrette and roasted garlic aioli. We collect the mushrooms in the fall; we rub them with white oak acorns and panko so they have a very distinct taste and flavor. We dress them with a juniper vinaigrette made from juniper berries we harvest plus roasted garlic aioli. So there’s this element of comfort but with all this other wild stuff.
