Who we are

“From a young age, I was drawn to the kitchen, but it wasn't until I served with the U.S. Peace Corps in Moldova that I discovered the magic of pairing. In Moldovan culture, homemade wine is ubiquitous, and it's always shared with food. I remember how much the flavor of the local wine was enhanced by the simplest complements—warm, fresh bread and even a bowl of sugar. This experience ignited my passion for creating perfect pairings for every beverage.

Today, I’m proud to make unique macarons with fresh, real ingredients & no food dyes that pair perfectly with local breweries, wineries, and coffee shops. Because food is always better when paired with the perfect beverage!”

Why we are dye free

  • HEALTH RISKS

    Artificial food dyes are made from petroleum-based chemicals and have been linked to a number of health issues, including behavioral
    and developmental problems in children, and the potential for increased risk of cancer.

  • ALLERGIC REACTIONS

    Artificial food coloring can cause allergic reactions, such as hives and asthma, in sensitive individuals.

  • FOOD INTOXICATION

    Studies have confirmed that artificial food dyes are a major source of food intoxication.

  • LACK OF REGULATION

    The U.S. is one of the few industrialized countries without strict regulations on artificial food dyes. Many countries, including Australia,
    Japan, and those within the European Union, either restrict or ban these chemicals.

  • PREVALENCE

    Artificial food dyes are found in so many foods, they are almost impossible to avoid.

  • CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

    Artificial food coloring contains plenty of chemicals.
