Jet Torres of Jette’s Kitchen sent over a couple of tins filled of happiness. She wanted me to try some of her handmade pastries for BusinessWorld’s food section.
.
Choco Chip! I’ve been in search for comfort cookies for a while. I’ve been homesick these past couple of months and I just wanted to eat something that felt like it was baked right at home — these were perfect.
Callebaut White Choco Coco Walnut Cookie. According to her website, this is a new flavor and Jet’s personal favorite — “Soft chocolate cookie laden with fine Belgian white chocolate chunks and finished with premium coconut flakes and California walnuts to make it a chewy and crunchy bite all in one.” I’m not very much into coconut when incorporated in pastries or chocolates but this one is not that bad. I’m eating it right now!
Jet calls her cakes, ‘rounds.’ Organic Carrot Walnut with Philadelphia cream cheese filling. I’m irky about pastries made of vegetables, it’s just not right. Not my favorite of the lot but not to say that it’s not delicious in its own right. I’m just not a vegetable pastry person.
Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Swirl Banana. You can never go wrong with dark chocolate and banana. Nomnomnom!
Will be meeting up with Jet soon for a quick chat. Full story will come out on BusinessWorld, watch out for it!
