Signed copies of My Life in Pies are now available at The Book Cellar for the holidays! Come join me at their Lincoln Square location on December 12 to grab a signed copy of my cookbook for yourself or a loved one this holiday season. You’ll also get a recipe card to take home and a little taste of some of the goodies you’ll find in the book! When you pick up a copy of My Life in Pies, 100% of the proceeds goes towards local children’s charities: Hephzibah Children’s Association and the Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society. You can read more about these wonderful organizations below. 

Since they opened in 2004, The Book Cellar has been an independent and woman-owned bookstore and cafe. They are so special because the owners create a unique experience for book lovers—whether it’s a wine tasting or a book signing, there’s always something fun going on! Located in the heart of Lincoln Square, the Book Cellar is one independent Chicago bookstore you definitely won’t want to miss.
