Chozen Ice Cream

If you’re shvitzing in all this summer heat, reach for an ice cream with some chutzpah: Chozen Ice Cream. Created by Manhattanite Ronne Fisher and her two daughters, Chozen is an all-natural ice cream inspired by the sweets and desserts of their favorite Jewish holidays. There’s cinnamon ice cream with homemade raisin walnut rugelach, or there’s the Matzoh Crunch: vanilla ice cream with chocolate and caramel coated matzoh sprinkled with kosher salt. Coconut macaroon, chocolate babka, and apples and honey are also on Chozen’s list of artisanal ice cream sweets. All ingredients are sourced from local dairy farms and ‘authentic Brooklyn bakers’. Now, that’s kosher.

The Dutch Baby: oven-baked pancake from Ottawa’s Edgar’s

An oven-baked pancake with soufflé tendencies drizzled with lemon juice and dusted with sugar. Ah, the dutch baby. Thanks to an inspired brunch from Ottawa’s tiny but potent Edgar’s, this old school favorite is making a modern-day coming back. Here, chef/owner Marysol reinvents this classic, turning it into a masterpiece of the sweet and salty persuasion. First, the dutch baby is baked in a skillet greased with duck fat, then filled with tender, salty pork belly, nestled beside chunky apple compote and dotted with knobs of aged cheddar. It’s topped off with a splatter of maple syrup (this is Canada, after all) making it the best new brunch in town. Here’s hoping this is a trend that takes off.

SnoBAr: a shaved ice shop in West Hollywood

Though I’ve yet to visit SnoBar – a natural “shaved ice” spot that’s opened shop in West Hollywood, – one look at that paper-thin texture makes me want to hop on a flight direct to California. Based on a traditional Taiwanese dessert, SnoBar’s shaved ice claims to have the creaminess of ice cream in a ‘feathery, cotton candy-like texture’. (Yes please!) In flavors like green tea, taro, honeydew, and rose, it’s gaining rave reviews from Los Angelinos, hailing it the next big trend. To quote one local blogger, ‘If ice cream could whisper, this is what it would say’. I think a little on-hands research is definitely in order.

Days Off is an incredibly catchy but smart punk band from Chicago. While they’re the best of what pop music through the ages has to offer, they’re by no means pop-punk. As infectious as their hooks and choruses are, there are enough off-kilter rhythms and complex guitar work to give their music a layered feel, putting them into a category all their own.
