You’re invited to come spend a cozy afternoon with me on Saturday, November 8th at Hudson Grace in Glencoe. I’ll be signing books, sharing sips of vanilla sifters, and serving up some homemade cuccidati: classic Italian fig cookies that my family’s been making for generations. The best part? 100% of proceeds go to local children’s charities. Keep reading to learn more!


Where and When


Where: Hudson Grace, 339 Park Ave, Glencoe, IL 60022

When: Saturday, November 8, 2025 2pm-4pm

I’ve always admired the timeless style of Hudson Grace.


It’s that perfect blend of cozy and classy—like a well-set holiday table. I’m so excited to host this event in their beautiful Glencoe shop! They have everything from classic tableware and linens to unique little goodies for entertaining. A big thanks to the Hudson Grace team for welcoming me (and my cookies!) to their space. I hope to see you there—and maybe do a little shopping afterwards!

Giving Back with Every Purchase


When you grab a signed book or shop my kitchen goodies at the event, you’re helping make a difference. 100% of the proceeds go to two incredible local charities: Hephzibah Children’s Association and The Oak Park River Forest Infant Welfare Society. Supporting kids and families in need—that’s something we can all raise a cookie to.

Want my cuccidati recipe? You’re in luck!
