About Teresa...
As the executive Pastry Chef at her family's award winning restaurant, Il Capriccio located in Whippany, New Jersey, Teresa has been preparing desserts and pastries since 2006. After years of serving her patrons in the dining room, she decided to offer her hand made biscotti & cookies to be enjoyed at home. Every cookie is hand made by Teresa with love and gratitude. She prepares them daily, using the only the finest ingredients; ensuring a the freshest, most delectable cookies with every batch. She takes great pride and care in her attention to detail and strives to exceed customers expectations with every order. Baked with love from her heart... from her family to yours, "Buon Appetito."
Looking for something that can uplift and inspire you? We invite you to read her blog where she shares her personal short stories about her experiences in her "Cosmic Kitchen." These true life accounts will remind you that sweetness can be found in life, no matter what the circumstances. When life hands us lemons, we make Limoncello pound cake! You will also find some of her favorite recipes that you can re-create at home. Teresa believes that dessert is the most important course of the meal.... it is the last thing that people will remember, so it's important to make it as extra special as you.
