Jennifer Bucko Lamplough, BAJ ’96, is blending her love of writing with her culinary pursuits.
After several years as a reporter and communications specialist in northwestern Indiana and Chicago, Jennifer Bucko Lamplough, BAJ’96, decided to follow her heart — and her taste buds. The Chicago Daily Herald recently chronicled Lamplough’s journey from journalist to chef, teacher and author.

Lamplough is associate dean and chef instructor at the Robert Morris University Institute of Culinary Arts in Chicago, Aurora and Orland Park, Ill. She also is pursuing her MBA. Lamplough is the author of two books for the American Diabetes Association: Healthy Calendar Diabetic Cooking and Healthy Carb Diabetes Cookbook.

Lamplough told the Daily Herald that she attributes her start in the culinary industry to making Dilly Bars for her parents’ Dairy Queen franchise when she was 12.
