Ingredients & Safety
-
What is a Cottage Food license?
It means my home kitchen is registered and approved by the State of Connecticut to prepare food for the public. Every item is made in a clean, strictly monitored environment following local food safety regulations.
-
Do you offer gluten-free, nut-free, or vegan options?
My traditional recipes contain gluten, dairy, and eggs. While we take every precaution to avoid cross-contamination, our home kitchen is not certified allergen-free. Please check the ingredient list on each product page.

How should I store my pastries and bread?
Baguettes and rustic country bread are best eaten the same day. You can wrap it in a tea towel to keep it from drying out, then toast it to eat the next day or the day after.
Cannelés should be kept during 2-3 days at room temperature in a airtight container to keep their crunch. My advice: To restore a perfect caramelized crust, place your cannelés on the oven rack at 430°F for 3 to 5 minutes, then let them cool for 5 minutes.
Financiers stay soft for 5–6 days in an airtight container.
Madeleines stay soft for 2–3 days in an airtight container. My advice: If they dry out a bit, pop them in the microwave for 5 seconds to restore their softness.
Sablés should be kept until 3 weeks at room temperature in a airtight container (preferably in an airtight metal tin).
