Petit puts a little Tobago love in homemade chocolate
Petit displays one of his individually wrapped chocolate - David Reid
LIKE the rest of the world, Jean Claude Petit is learning to adapt. The owner and artisan chocolatier behind Tobago Chocolate Delights in Lambeau, Tobago, said his artisanal chocolate shop, opened in 2014, catered mainly to tourists. Now, because of the covid19 pandemic, he has been forced to shift his business strategy to target locals.
“When I started, I was doing 80 per cent tourists and 20 per cent Tobagonians,” he said. The closure of TT s borders has meant he has had to shift his focus
The power of animal-loving consumers -
In November 2019, Tobago-based animal rescue NGO Venus Doggess of Love facilitated a free feline spay/neuter clinic. Mt Irvine Bay Resort gave us a guest cabin that was available for use as our temporary vet clinic and housed and fed the vet team (from Trinidad) for the weekend of the project.
That weekend a pregnant dog that had moved onto the hotel grounds gave birth to 11 puppies. Not only did the resort agree to my request to let the dog stay there safely until the pups were weaned and adopted, but members of staff devotedly fed her and her offspring for the duration of their stay, until they were rehomed successfully, locally and abroad.
