Mindy also explains where her confidence comes from: “As confident as I feel, it takes an almost comically confident person to be able to say that they were destined to be in movies and television. I don’t think I was destined, but I think I am of the personality type where the rejection or odds of something doesn’t scare me. Maybe it was because my mom moved to Africa at 20 by herself, but there’s a certain fearlessness that runs in my family for things where there’s absolutely no reason to believe that it should work out. I get that from my parents.”
And how she is able to get away with with being a Beyoncé and shopping-loving semi-valley girl who can still come across as smart, funny and someone people can take seriously: “I do get criticized by women who think that because of who I am, I shouldn’t talk about shopping or be an emotional person, and I think, ‘Why?’ Now you’re just putting women in another box.”

Did you see the Chair's for Charity Gallery yet from 2011?

Book
signing follows talk at 7:30 pm
Stephanie Izard was
born in the Chicago suburb of Evanston but grew up in
Stamford, Connecticut,
where her parents got her hooked on food with their
themed dinner parties,
weekly menus posted on the fridge and a life-changing
trip to Epcot where she
couldn’t wait to get home and recreate the crepes she
ate in “France.” As much
as she loved cooking (and eating), she went the traditional
route first and got
a sociology degree from University of Michigan. Soon thereafter,
she discovered
that all she really wanted to do was cook. After graduating from the
Le Cordon
Bleu program at the Scottsdale Culinary Institute, she worked at several
restaurants, including the Camelback Inn Resort & Spa, before making the
decision
to return to Chicago in 2001. Stephanie is the winner of season four
of
Bravo’s Top Chef, owner and executive chef
at Girl and the Goat, author of her first
cookbook, Girl in the Kitchen: How a Top Chef Cooks, Thinks, Shops, Eats,
and Drinks.
