Seasonal Snacking Delectable Sweets from MostlY Chocolate & Catering
44 Farms Jerky WOODEN Gift Box WITH YETI tumbler
Houston chocolatier Dany Kamkhagi and his family make divine handmade chocolates that include truffles, golddusted almonds (perfect for weddings, too), chocolate bars encrusted with jewel-like dried fruits and nuts and much more. For the holidays, they’ve put together sampler boxes for only $30 that feature a generous tin of the gold-dusted almonds called Mondies, two truffles, house-made jam and one chocolate bar. (Our photo shows two chocolate bars because we couldn’t help but buy an extra for $8 so we could try the one dotted with wasabi sesame seeds and Hawaiian salt.) The variety box is a convenient way to get to know the offerings of this great shop. Call 713-446-5826 or visit mostlychocolatecatering.com to order.
It’s just not the holidays without some good snacks on hand. This offering from Texas meat purveyor 44 Farms is ideal for commuters. The handsome wooden gift box (which will likely find many subsequent uses around the house) includes two varieties of flavorful beef jerky (Simply Smoked and the spicier Texas Kick), plus a covetable Yeti Rambler tumbler. Yeti tumblers are prized for their tough stainless steel construction, double-wall vacuum insulation and a design that prevents outer condensation. As far as the jerky goes, it is free of added hormones, antibiotics, MSG, gluten and nitrites. Buy online at 44Farms.com for $69.99. And while you’re there, also check out the selection of mighty fine steaks.
As a former restaurant critic, founder of the new web publication Houston Food Finder and a longtime contributor to My Table, when it comes to sniffing out foodie gifts Phaedra Cook has the nose of a bloodhound. Let's face it: This is just a list of what she wants for the holidays, which has her companion and photographer Chuck Cook pretty much quaking in his boots.
