Miss The Cook is Back

About this episode

Cooking was once Tori’s happy place - until it wasn’t. How cooking went from pure bliss to pure hell in the blink of a divorce. Now, she’s back in the kitchen and rediscovering how much joy food can bring.

Tori gets real about making dinner for five kids with very different tastes, the family recipes that bring them together, and how food has become an unexpected source of healing. She opens up about why she stopped cooking, the anxiety and triggers that kept her away, and what it took to start again.

Get ready for kitchen confessions, comfort food, and maybe even going back to her famous baked potato!
