Tip of the Tongue Episode 245: SemitaMamita

Bella McDow grew up in America and in El Salvador. She is living in New Orleans these days and exploring her roots through baking. She is resolving the various tugs from different cultures by baking. She is learning the business through a special program and popup. Her company is SemitaMamita. I have eaten her semitas, and they are delicious.

May be an image of text that says 'Semita Mamita BAKING BAKINGCO CO. Semita Mamita Menu Fridays Saturdays 4:30 pm 7:00 pm 801 Frenchman Street (Ayu Bakehouse) Pastelitos de pina (pineapple & Sazerac hand pie) Semita (sweet pastry with fruit jam middle) Concha (Sweet roll w/ crunchy sugar topping, stuffed w/ apple filling & creole cream cheese) Chocolate chip & southern pecan cookie Chicken boudin empanada W/ a homemade salsa verde Pumpkin spice horchata (Latin-American sweet drink) Coffee, matcha, and hot teas'

She is just starting on her adult path in life, and she is off to a very culinary and very tasty start. The pastries are El Salvador, but fillings are distinctly New Orleans. 2 cultures in a well-balanced blend. Listen. It’s on Tip of the Tongue.
