TOP PICK OF THE WEEK: Mah-Ze-Dahr Bakery
In 2002, Kee Ling Tong left a career on Wall Street to create artisan chocolates in SoHo. Kee’s Chocolates have garnered fans worldwide. In 2003, international investment banker Joan Coukos launched Chocolat Moderne in Chelsea. More recently, Umber Ahmad traded finance for flour (and plenty of chocolate) and opened Mah-Ze-Dahr, an online bakery. Her wares attracted the interest of chef and restaurateur Tom Colicchio, and they are now looking for a retail space for a joint venture. Until that happy day, you can buy her Chocolate Explosion Cookies, Dark Chocolate Brownies and—better yet—the Heaven In A Box Sampler—from the website. Read the full review and treat yourself to something delicious. |
