Meet This Year’s Featured Chef: Lindita Torres-Winters
Lindita Torres-Winters’ journey from migrant farmworker to accomplished entrepreneur and community leader is a true testament to resilience and dedication. Growing up in camps and working the fields from Texas to Wisconsin, Lindita faced early challenges, including leaving high school to work two jobs when her father was injured. Determined to create a better future, she earned her GED and became the first in her family to attend college. While at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, Lindita worked with the High School Equivalency Program (HEP) to recruit migrant farmworkers across the U.S. to pursue their education.

She worked for Coca-Cola’s Agriculture Division, improving conditions for citrus migrant farmworkers, and later served as a coordinator for the American Red Cross, aiding in disaster relief efforts. In 1994, Lindita founded Linditas Salsa & Spice Company Inc., followed by the launch of Linditas Kitchen TV Show in 2019, currently airing on Aurora TV. She has also shared her culinary expertise as a food columnist for the Aurora Sentinel Newspaper and as the host of the Hispanos Americanos TV Show.
Lindita’s accomplishments extend beyond the kitchen.
