Terra Lucia

Fine baked goods from old family recipes

 

Conestrade  (Italian coffee/teacake)     

Our generations-old family recipe from Tuscany, Cararra, brought to this country in the 1890's.  Try it - sliced thin, even just a bit less than a slice of bread - plain, buttered, or toasted and buttered.

After the first few days or so, put it in the fridge and, if it lasts that long, you can leave it for even up to two weeks.  It takes on another incredible character - imagine an elegant, light fruitcake.  Serve it cold then, for a bit of a tasty surprise.

It's true.  Some people get one to eat right away, and another to chill.

Ingredients  Flour, milk, apricots, pistacios, sugar, eggs, butter, anise seeds, vanilla & almond extracts, b.p,. salt.

All of our baked goods always have as many organic ingredients, and as little wheat flour and sugar as possible.  At least 95% of this batch is organic. 

 

 Our Goal

To honor some of our family roots - Terra Lucia, a blend of my Mother's maiden name, Terenzini (person of the earth), with my Grandmother's maiden name, Luciani (tribe of the people of the light).  To honor them by creating the tastiest, freshest, and finest quality actually home made baked goods which come from very old family traditions, or those which we can imagine ourselves (like our biscotti, or macaroons!).

Why are we doing this?  Because we love our family's Conestrade, we've had so much fun refining our other recipes, and we can't resist sharing them with even more people.
