I have always believed that food is a living archive—a delicious map of where we’ve been and the tales we tell. My name is Lizzy Paredez, and I am the heart and baker behind Folklore & Fromage.

My obsession with baking started with a simple ritual: pairing warm, rustic baked goods with fine cheeses. But one evening, looked over by my very discerning, whisker-faced kitchen assistants (I absolutely adore cats), a wild idea took root. Why keep these soulmates separate? Instead of serving cheese with my baked goods, I decided to tuck the cheese right inside them.

That single spark evolved into a full-blown passion for exploring unique flavor combinations and pushing the boundaries of the traditional oven. I love blending the sweet, the savory, and the unexpected to create treats that bewitch your senses and comfort your soul.

Every culture has a story to tell through what they bake, and I strive to honor that ancient magic in my own kitchen. Every item at Folklore & Fromage is crafted to feel like an old-world fable you can taste.

Thank you for letting me share my lore with you. I can’t wait to bake something magical for your table.
