About this Article

Cook of the Week Nick Brenkus claims he is not afraid to try anything. From making pastas and poppy seed and nut rolls inspired by his mom to producing wine from his own vineyard and entering a deconstructed hot dog in a recipe contest, Nick is fearless in his West Dundee kitchen. He doesn't miss an opportunity to bake up an authentic Italian pizza for friends or stuff a beef tenderloin with cheese and pine nuts.
