Cooking Torta Rustica Live on WGN9 Lunchbreak

Tune In

Live Cooking Demo

Date: Monday, November 3, 2025 
Time:
11:00 AM and 1:00 PM
Location:
Lunchbreak on WGN9 Chicago

Tune-in to WGN9 for a special Lunchbreak appearance! I’m cooking up one of my favorite savory pies, Torta Rustica — you’ll definitely want to try this one at home!

WGN9 has always been a generous supporter of Chicago’s local makers and community causes. I’ll also be talking about my cookbooks, and how they help support the kiddos at Hephzibah Children’s Association who have a proven track record of service.

Thank you, WGN, for hosting me once again and for helping spotlight the charities that mean so much to me.
