About Tiina D’Souza
Tiina D’Souza is Estonian baker and pastry chef whose love for true and traditional fermented rye bread she grew up with led her to launch EstoEtno Fine Bakery. Estonian cuisine is a combination of Scandinavian, German, and Russian cuisines, and EstoEtno’s bread/pastry/cake/tart selection represents them all. The main characteristic of their pastries is mild sweetness; favorite ingredients such as fruits, berries, nuts, and chocolate that are complemented by small amounts of organic, minimally processed sugar so the stars of the recipes can shine. In addition to classic treats, they also make gluten free products and “fun bites” that offer a twist to the tradition. You’ll find cakes and cookies made with rye flour, spicy meringues, nontraditional oatmeal cookies, homemade European style gingerbread cookies and soft gingerbread cakes, savory cabbage tarts and other unexpectedly delicious baked goods. Along with these pastries, EstoEtno offers both Tiina’s signature authentic Estonian rye bread that is handmade, wheat free and naturally fermented (sourdough) and wheat-based sourdoughs using only organic flours in their products. Find these treats at farmer’s markets around Atlanta and on their website. www.estoetno.com
