Chef Dawn Wilson
As the owner and driving force behind A NEW DAWN personal chef service since 2006, Executive Chef Dawn Wilson has provided catering, personal chef services, and cooking instruction to clients in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs to rave reviews.  Formerly a Research Scientist with Biology and Molecular Genetics degrees from Loyola University and University of Chicago, Dawn's passion for cooking and entertaining led her away from the lab and into the kitchen. She developed her culinary style while working at Bin 36, Cafe Las Bellas Artes, and several catering companies in Chicagoland.  As the Culinary Director for Whole Foods Market-Northbrook, she taught cooking classes and launched the private event program.  Chef Dawn helped introduce and execute the fresh hand-made pasta program for the opening of Balena, the italian-inspired concept from Boka Restaurant Group and B. Hospitality Co.


In 2011, Dawn moved to the small Tuscan town of Colle Val d'Elsa where she worked at the rustic Slowfood restaurant, Officina della Cucina Popolare, learning the secrets of Tuscan cuisine. Following her stage at Officina, she traveled and tasted her way throughout Italy with stops in many regions including Emilia-Romagna, Umbria, Veneto, Piedmont, and Lazio.


Chef Dawn is looking forward to her next adventure as she opens a small authentic Italian neighborhood caffe and market in Roscoe Village, Chicago's charming "Village within the City".  The casual, inviting caffe will feature an espresso bar, breakfast and lunch daily, and family-style communal dinners a few times per week.  The authentic Italian menu will focus on hand-made pastas, artisan salumi and cheeses, panini, and piadine using a combination of seasonal, local and imported Italian ingredients lovingly hand-crafted with the upmost care and rustic simplicity characteristic of Italian cuisine.  For a sneak peek into the forthcoming caffe, check out Chef Dawn's preview pop-up dinners, "popping" up at unique locations around Chicago this spring!
