The editor’s desk

It is one heck of a sporting event that can bring Curtis Stone all the way back from Los Angeles, where he is a revered chef with two top restaurants, to cook up a storm for Melbourne foodies. A pop-up version of his Sunset Boulevard fine diner Gwen (which he runs with brother Luke) will grace the greens at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club for the Presidents Cup in December. In this edition, Stone shares memories of his late grandmother Gwen, whose own wood-fired cooking informs the decadently primal menu and proves even refined palates can be inspired by lovingly humble origins. ●

urtis Stone remembers Gwen, his nana, very fondly. “She was always in the kitchen and just your typical Aussie nan,” he says.

“She came from a very simple background, living on a farm outside of Melbourne.

“My mother lived on the farm with Gwen, and her father, Ernie. It was a pretty simple existence.”

While Gwen’s life may have seemed much like that of many other Australians, the way she lived her life still inspires Stone, 43, who is one of Australia’s most loved chefs and a Michelinstarred restaurateur.

One of his two top Los Angeles restaurants is called the Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant while the other is named Maude, after his grandmother from his father’s side.

Fondly known simply as Gwen, the restaurant will have its first ever Australian presence in December, with a pop-up experience at the Presidents Cup at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Black Rock.

here’. It was pretty cool.” Gwen, like Maude, would be very proud of what her grandson has achieved.

As well as the two restaurants in Los Angeles, he is the face of Coles in Australia and has built a huge television career in the US. He got his TV break hosting the Channel 7 reality show My Restaurant Rules back in 2004, which was partly filmed in Fitzroy Street, St Kilda.

Stone is one of the favourites to join the new judging panel of MasterChef Australia after George Calombaris, Gary Mehigan and Matt Preston left the show earlier this year.

He and his wife Lindsay Price were among the select few invited to a recent state dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump at the White House.

The couple live in Los Angeles and have two sons, Emerson, 5, and Hudson, 8.

Stone is back and forth from Australia a number of times during the year but, at the moment, LA is home.

“It’s a cool city to live in,” he says of his home.

“The weather is bloody beautiful.

“There are a lot of things I don’t like about it too, but there are a lot of things I do like. We are really close to the beach, and when you’ve got young kids, that is a good thing.”

Growing up in the ’80s and ’90s in Melbourne in between kicking the footy, he always had a love of food.

“I started cooking as a kid,” he says. “I’ve always been a greedy little bugger, and I still am. I’ve always been obsessed with the way things taste.

When something tastes really good, I get really excited about it.”

Stone went to high school at Essendon Grammar, a boys’ school that is now co-ed and called Penleigh and Essendon Grammar.

He went to school with now celebrated chef Shannon Bennett , who is the same age as him.

The two studied home economics early on.

The menu made with love COVER STORY Inspired by the memory of his grandmother, chef Curtis Stone is bringing his restaurant home.

Both Gwen and Maude passed away in 2008, but they are never far from Stone’s memory. The way Gwen and Ernie raised his mother Lorraine is something he will never forget.

“They had a few cows that they used to milk and sell the milk,” he says. “Mum always talks about that, when the cheque would arrive from the butter company. That was a big, exciting moment for them.

“They would also cut firewood and take it down to the people in the city.

“They were market gardeners and they had a bunch of veggies they’d grow.”

Everything in Gwen’s kitchen was cooked on a wood-fired stove.

When Stone and his brother Luke, who is a coowner, opened the restaurant in Los Angeles in 2016, both of them felt she was with them in spirit.

Like Gwen in her life, the restaurant relies on a trusty old wood-fired stove.

“It was funny the night we opened, actually I lit the fires and my brother and I went upstairs, and we then walked back into the space and we could both smell the fires,” he says.

“I looked at him and I was like, ‘it’s like she is

“We decided to do home eco to meet the girls, because at the time it was an all-boys’ school and home eco was taught at the girls’ school,” he says.

“We’d get the bus over and try to meet some girls.

We didn’t meet any girls, but somehow we both learnt how to cook.”

The 120-seat Gwen at the Presidents Cup will serve a lunch and dinner menu. Reservations are available to patrons with general admission tickets.

“It’s a world-class event and we thought we’d bring some world-class food,” Stone says of the Presidents Cup. “I’ve also never been able to do a restaurant at home, so it will be fun to bring it to Melbourne.” ●

ART & CULTURE The Archibald Prize 2019 finalists – including the winner – are on show this spring in the sensational Yarra Valley.

A

Prize collection Wo r d s

JA N E R O C CA

ustralia’s most prestigious art award, the Archibald Prize, is making its Victorian debut at TarraWarra Museum of Art in Healesville, bringing with it the winning work of Tony Costa.

Costa painted artist Lindy Lee using his hands instead of paintbrushes. “Did you know that Rembrandt also painted using his thumb?” says Costa, who flew in from Sydney for the opening event in regional Victoria.

“It’s nothing new and painters have been doing it for years. A famous painting by Rembrandt called A Woman Bathing In A Stream saw him paint her gown using his thumb.

I feel I have a much more direct approach using my hands and my markings are much more definitive as a result.”

TarraWarra is the first venue to host the Archibald Prize after the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

The exhibition will travel around regional Australia, reaching more than 300,000 visitors along the way.

“The Archibald Prize is an extraordinary vehicle to get our work out to the people. It’s a wonderful accolade,” Costa says.

It took Costa two days to paint Lee, first approaching the artist and Zen Buddhist after he heard her interviewed at the NSW Art Gallery.

“She’s a very busy woman and I had access to her for one day,” Costa says. “She meditated for three hours in the morning and then again for three in the afternoon.

“I captured her in the lotus pose, which says as much about her as her physical features. This is someone

who is meditating and it already tells you half the story.”

He completed the painting in his studio.

Costa, a second generation Italian, says he’s been intrigued by eastern philosophies for decades and was introduced to Buddhism in 1978.

“I had a faint idea of what Buddhism was about back then – it wasn’t for me, but I totally respect what it stands for,” he says.

“Approaching art in that Zen way I found parallels in that with my own temperament because you have to give in to that way of working to make it work.”

Costa is all about trapping energy with every hand movement when he paints.

“That’s my ticket to nirvana,” he says. “When I first started experimenting using my hands 30 years ago I wore surgical gloves and felt I had more power.

“By getting rid of detail in the work I was delivering something with greater impact.

“The painting of Lindy Lee is about peace and serenity. It’s about mood and stillness, I hope that’s what people get from it when they see it.”

Among the 51 works in this year’s Archibald Prize exhibition are paintings that portray Australian subjects including renowned actor David Wenham by Tessa MacKay (the winner of the Packing Room Prize), former ballet dancer and director of the Queensland Ballet Li Cunxin by Jun Chen, Anh Do’s portrait of the artist George Gittoes and journalist Annabel Crabb as depicted by Jordan Richardson. ●

There is no being critical of Noosa’s main beach, but if you are tired of being flanked by other tourists grabbing their slice of the sunshine, there are many other places and ways to relax. And they’re easily accessed at that. Nestled behind the main drag to the left is the little-known Noosa Dog Beach, which stretches all the way to the river mouth and overlooks the sandbanks. Make your trip to nearly empty paradise complete by hiring a “Barbie Boat” from the team at Boardwalk Boats just behind the Sofitel. Comfortably seating up to 11 people and with no boat licence required, there really is no better way to experience Noosa.

Cruise up the river canal and check out some seriously extravagant waterfront homes. Once past the canal you can anchor your vessel right on Dog Beach or the nearby sandbank. ●

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Beyond the classroom

nside and outside the classroom, music and technology offer students opportunities to develop new skills and interests and to learn the value of persistence.

Music is an essential part of school life at Shelford Girls’ Grammar. Jean McQuarrie, head of music, has been with the school for the past 25 years and has seen many of her former proteges find a fulltime career in the world of music and performance.

“Some of them have performed with the Melbourne Conservatorium orchestras, some have worked as composers with the ABC and one student just got her first commission to compose,” says McQuarrie.

Extra-curricular music is a popular choice for many of the girls at Shelford. Around 73 per cent of students play a musical instrument and most are also part of an ensemble and spend hours before and after school perfecting their musical skills.

“We have choirs, harmony ensembles, string orchestras, a concert band, guitar ensemble, brass ensemble, jazz ensemble, percussion ensemble and flute ensemble. If a student comes to me and is interested in being part of a rock band or an Irish band, we will form an ensemble so they can pursue that interest,” says McQuarrie.

The annual school musical also involves many extra-curricular hours with the junior school and senior school performing in alternate years. This year the junior school performed Annie and next year the senior school students will present Mary Poppins.

“The students sing and act and hold positions of responsibility in terms of stage management, sound and lighting,” says McQuarrie.

“These experiences don’t only enrich their musicianship but they lead to girls forming crossyear level friendships and the older girls help the

younger girls. Music helps with the students’ academic rigor and discipline, and it presents them with the challenge of being brave enough to perform publicly which is a valuable acquired skill.”

At Preshil in Kew, robotics and technology are popular extra-curricular choices for students, with their interest encouraged from early primary school years. Younger children enjoy spending lunchtimes and recess in the “Fish Bowl” – a bright, modern area equipped with a 3D printer, green screen, video and editing software, LEGO and coding programs.

“The Fish Bowl is a space where children can explore and be curious,” says Natalie Jensen, assistant principal at Preshil.

“Teachers take on projects at lunchtime with groups of children and they’ve used 3D printing to make pieces of jewellery and phone cases and they’ve made films. We get people from the community or parents who are specialists to work with the children – one person worked for Channel 7 and has been making films with the kids.”

Younger students use the Cubico coding program

that was developed by specialists in early childhood education, computer engineering and computer linguistics. It helps them understand basic concepts of coding such as command sequences, iteration and looping and conditions and to improve logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Older children can get to grips with Arduino programming, which is a more involved introduction to robotics.

“All our classrooms are open at lunchtime, so children can self-initiate activities and projects at that time,” says Jensen.

“The focus in all these robotic and technology projects is more on the process than the end result.

They learn to design, test, undo something, re-do it and try again, so it’s good for building resilience.

“They often try something and when it doesn’t work, they look at it through a different lens to see what they can change. The students will discuss projects together and help each other problemsolve and that continues to encourage their natural curiosity.” ●

mental wellbeing. So extra-curricular sports are part of life at Caulfield Grammar from years 5 to 12.

“We want students to have a balanced experience at Caulfield Grammar and sport is a vital element of that balance,” says Hall. “There is a great ability to impact the lives of children through sport and its value is immense in terms of health benefits, building resilience and the friendships and connections students make.”

Swimming, cricket and touch football are popular during summer and Australian rules and netball are in demand in winter. Athletics is popular, and Caulfield Grammar is also renowned for its prowess in water polo. “Softball, swimming and football are also particular strengths and we’ve had a good record in netball,” says Hall.

A new aquatic centre is taking shape at the Caulfield campus and will include state-of-the art features such as a 50-metre indoor pool that can be converted into two 25-metre pools. The floor can be raised or lowered to cater for inexperienced swimmers and elite swim teams.

Maribyrnong College in Melbourne’s north-west

is also focused on the benefits of sport.

Maribyrnong is Victoria’s only specialist sports high school and incorporates Maribyrnong Sports Academy. The school has 575 student athletes within its 1300-strong population who juggle VCE and sport.

Current and former students have been selected for state and national teams and have competed in prestigious events like the Olympics and various world championships.

“Sports students follow the normal school curriculum from 9am to 3.15pm but also complete an athlete development program that includes strength and conditioning, media training and sessions with our sports psychologist and dietitian,” explains Mark McAllion, the school’s sport director.

“Our aim is to provide an education for teenagers who want to pursue an elite sporting dream while continuing their studies. So, we’re set up to support students who want to have a real crack at their sport but also finish their secondary school education.”

Sports at the school include AFL, athletics, badminton, basketball, cricket, golf, hockey, netball,

soccer, softball/baseball, taekwondo, tennis and volleyball. But the school also has students involved in elite level gymnastics, swimming, cycling and synchronised ice skating. There is a stadium with basketball and netball courts, a badminton hall, high-performance gym, water therapy area, tennis courts, soccer pitch, athletics track, cricket nets and beach volleyball training courts.

Former Olympians and national athletes form part of the coaching team and proteges of the school include Luke Platt who has won junior world cycling titles and Celeste Mucci who has represented Australia in athletics. AWFL rising star Monique Conti has attended Maribyrnong College and Nia Stamatopoulos, a year 10 student, has played with Melbourne City in the W-League and has been in the Junior Matildas soccer team.

“The people who are teaching, coaching and mentoring have been serious athletes themselves, so they are used to being in a high-performance environment,” says McAllion. “They all work towards getting each individual athlete at the school to their highest level.” ● SARAH MARINOS

To the east of all that storage you’ll find the large entry hall, which is accessed from a lovely courtyard. Heading inside, there’s a welcoming entry, followed quickly by stairs leading up to the main floor.

Dwell a while downstairs before heading up and you will discover a large bedroom with built-in wardrobe, plus a kitchenette and an adjacent bathroom.

All that and we haven’t even stumbled upon the centrepiece of this property, which is found upstairs. The bulk of the first floor is devoted to an open-plan living and dining area, which also incorporates the kitchen. We’re talking a gas log fire and plenty of wall space, with the wellappointed kitchen complete with Miele appliance and a pantry. Notably, the north-facing entertaining terrace helps open things up some more (it comes with a retractable awning).

Return inside and over to the stairs and you’ll find a purpose-designed study nook with a desk. The sum of all these parts is a light and airy space that’s the very definition of open-plan, inner-city living.

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
