Jessy's Pastries - Empanadas & Sweets

Growing up in Lima, Peru, I remember my two grandmothers baking the most delicious desserts and pastries from recipes passed on to them by their mothers and grandmothers, each with a specific style and distinctly Peruvian taste.
Moving to New York City at the age of seventeen, exposed me to all the great American desserts, and I can't deny that they are some of my favorites.
Along the way, just like any good pastry, a fusion of my Peruvian roots and my New York life happened, baking together the best of my two worlds.
With Jessy's Pastries, I hope to bring to you the best sweets of my childhood memories as well as my very favorite ones from my new home.
The cookie may crumble but the memories remain.
