WOW – Chocolate Festival at Iceberg Ice Cream


One of T in Tel Aviv’s favorite ice cream shops, Iceberg, will be tempting us with 12 new flavors until the 2nd of January with a WOW Chocolate Festival. The new flavors can be purchased in cones (19 NIS for a regular, 25 for lg., only 15 for a kiddie size) or by weight (82 NIS per kg).

The new flavors are available for the festival only and there will be blocks of chocolate with a cutting tool to make personal chocolate chips.

And now to the flavors….Deep dark chocolate ice cream, chocolate orange, chocolate halva and tahina, chocolate with raspberry diamonds, chocolate and pistachios, chocolate with lemon and yuzo (an Asian sour fruit), milk chocolate and salted caramel, chocolate with mint diamonds, chocolate sorbet, white chocolate with almonds and crispies, white chocolate and passion fruit, and tropical chocolate and coconut. Those were not listed in any specific order but I’d go for the milk chocolate and salterd caramel.

Too cold for ice cream? There is also “gold hot chocolate” – hot chocolate made from mousse and two cold coins and a liqeur served on the side if desired.

And..wait! There’s more! Two desserts in a jar – chocolate mousse and pieces of chocolate fudge and “crunchies” and layered jar of white chocolate mousse, coconut, marzipan and essence of blueberry and fragrance.

WOW! Since we’re having Spring weather in Tel Aviv we might as well enjoy some ice cream.

Road Trip.....Art and Cookware in Paris


More like an air trip to Paris from Tel Aviv. I hadn’t been to Paris in about 20 years…seriously one of the greatest if not the greatest city in the world to visit.

Two recommendations:

The Stein Family Collects – This Picasso and Matisse abundant exhibition was at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art earlier this year and is at the Grand Palais in Paris until February. If you don’t have a chance to see it in Paris make sure to see at its next stop – The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York beginning in February 2012.

E. Dehillerin – Somethings never change and that would include this cook’s supply store at 18 rue Coquillère in the 1st. Over the years I have picked up a variety of copper pots as well as my favorite kitchen gadget – an over sized garlic press that doubles as a cherry or olive pitter.


Knives at Dehillerin



Williams-Sonoma seems sterile compared to the serious chef atmosphere at Dehillerin. Knives are displayed in metal bins, loaf and cake pans stacked according to size and other kitchen paraphernalia hanging from the beamed ceiling.



Need something? Look up!



Prices are not marked on the merchandise so one of the very helpful salesmen must go to the dot matrix printed prices books to give you a price. Dehillerin has been in business since 1820 and remains a family business.
