Free Cake at Jacques Torres

Mr. Chocolate is giving away free slices of cake at his Hudson Street location today in honor of their 10 year anniversary. Since it's Jacques Torres, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the flavor of cake will be chocolate.

Bissau Cookie at Rubyzaar Baked


The Bissau Cookie by Rubyzaar Baked incorporates roasted peanut butter, sun-dried bananas and dark chocolate chunks. Rubyzaar claims that this specific cookie is a "taste of West Africa" but I can't speak to that. I can say, however, that my personal dream of peanut butter, banana and chocolate baked into a cookie materialized in front of my eyes at a Rubyzaar Baked stand. Unfortunately, none of the flavors really sang and they sort of disappeared into each other and a ton of butter, the greasy feel of which really filled my mouth in a regrettable manner. The texture was also sort of dull.

Rubyzaar seems to offer their cookies during the holiday season only, so note that your time to ingest this cookie has a limit. I got mine at the 16th Annual Union Square Holiday Market.
