My story

It all started with practicing mindfulness.

Hi, I’m Ensi, and this is my story.

A few years ago, I was looking for a way to be more present and fully engaged in what I was doing. I needed something that felt natural and brought me joy. That something turned out to be baking. I wasn’t surprised, though it was always a family thing.

Baking is messy. It requires patience, attention, and accepting the unexpected, which is exactly why it became such a meaningful mindfulness practice for me.

Out of that practice came amaretti.

Believe it or not, amaretti talk to you. They are stubborn in the most beautiful natural way; they won’t let you change their authenticity.

You work with them rather than control them, and in that process, they continue to teach you, and they have their own sign language; you call them cracks.

Today, Ensi Bakery is my way of sharing that journey.

Here I present my collection of handcrafted amaretti cookies that I hope bring you the same joy, surprise, and sense of wonder they have brought me.

I continue my mindfulness practice every day through baking and through life itself. In many ways, these cookies taught me what mindfulness truly means.
