In the News
La Matriz Bakery appeared on the "Lunchbreak" segment of WGN TV's Midday News on 9/18/18 as part of Hispanic Heritage Month! Using The Spice House products, a dish of picadillo w/cabbage, fried yellow plantain and cucumber w/lime and salt was demonstrated.
Fall Baking Starts With Cornbread!
La Matriz Bakery is participating in the Artisan Grain Collective's Neighbor Loaves program! We're making our debut with cornbread. A staple quick bread rooted in African-American, LatinX and Native American cultures, it can be sweet, savory or plain. Enjoy alone or paired with meal options! Made with locally sourced cornmeal and flour.
40% of cornbread sales will benefit the RTW Veteran Center, which is dedicated to connecting veterans, the homeless and food insecure with the resources they need.

Scones
Sweet or savory, this close relative to the biscuit is a delight! We use traditional recipes for cut and drop scones that result in a fantastic texture...never dry. Can be enjoyed as is or garnished--fruit preserves or butter--alone, with a beverage or a meal.
30% of scone sales will benefit the What to Expect Project, which helps marginalized expectant and new moms.

Pound Cake
You absolutamente can't go wrong with a standard like this! Plain, dusted, glazed, fruit/nut filled or garnished with fresh berries/flowers...the options are virtually endless.
30% of pound cake sales will be donated to the Greater Chicago Food Depository which helps many communities that suffer from food apartheid.

Hunger & Health Care
Chicago's 60628 community is affected by food apartheid. Children, seniors and expectant/new moms are particularly vulnerable. As a participant in the Artisan Grain Collective's Neighbor Loaves program, I am supporting the CDC's #HearHer campaign by dedicating a portion of my sales to the What to Expect Project.
