Meet & Greet Omi Hopper
About this Event
Thank you for the outpouring of love.
Our first event with Omi sold out in 24 hours—a beautiful reflection of this community's heart and love for Omi!
You asked for more. We listened.
We're hosting a second time slot, from 3–5 PM, to celebrate the release of her cookbook.
**Important:** These tickets are for the 3–5 PM time slot only. They cannot be transferred to the sold-out event (no exceptions).
Come meet Omi and celebrate her story.
Join us for a very special afternoon with TikTok star, cookbook author, and Next Level Chef finalist Omallys "Omi" Hopper as she celebrates the release of her debut cookbook, Cooking con Omi: A Love Letter to Puerto Rican Home Cooking.
Published by Ten Speed Press, Cooking con Omi features 100 recipes rooted in Puerto Rican tradition, family memory, and the flavors that connect us to home. From cremita de maíz to tres leches de coquito, this cookbook is a love letter to every kitchen that smelled like abuela's.
The afternoon includes a live conversation and cooking demonstration with WGN-TV anchor Ana Belaval, where the two will make sofrito together while discussing the book, the recipes, and the stories behind them.
Tickets: $40 per person. Includes signed copy of Cooking con Omi, meet-and-greet access, light appetizers, and beverages.
Saturday, August 15, 2026 | 3 - 5 PM National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture 3015 W. Division St., Chicago, IL 60622
