G

oing viral is an experience many hope for but few attain. Count us among those few. A couple of years ago, I didn’t even know what that meant. Recently, however, Senior Editor Jennifer Pfaff was talking with actress/author Carrie Fisher in a fairly routine celebrity interview when Fisher’s simple answer to one of Jenn’s questions about Disney’s upcoming Star Wars movies sent shockwaves around the world. “Can you confirm whether you’ll reprise the role of Princess Leia?” Jenn asked. The actress simply said, “Yes.” Within a few hours of posting the interview online, tens of thousands of websites around the world were quoting Palm Beach Illustrated and linking to our website for readers to access the entire interview. Fisher’s publicist quickly tried to walk the story back, saying no announcement had been authorized (but not disputing its truth). Then, George Lucas confirmed the report less than a day later, acknowledging that Disney knew Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill had signed for another sequel before Disney forked over billions for Lucas’ company. By that time, the number of websites referencing our original story had grown to more than 100,000. And now, if you do a Boolean search (something else I didn’t know about a few years ago) including “Fisher” and “Palm Beach Illustrated,” Google will tell you there are “about 170,000 results.” Newspapers, magazines and broadcasters across the country and around the globe reported our story. Rolling Stone, the Huffington Post, Diane Sawyer and even—to our staff’s amusement—buzzfeed.com quoted the story and linked to our website, as did more than 169,900 lesser-known websites. What’s it all mean? We’re not exactly sure. It’s fun to break a story. It’s nice to get worldwide attention. Our website advertisers that week certainly received visibility. Star Wars’ fans received the news they wanted. We probably sold a few more subscriptions than usual. We received a lot of tweets and bonus “likes” on our Facebook page. The mental health causes Fisher supports received more attention than normal. And we had fun printing pages from various websites headlining the story and pinning them on a bulletin board in our break room. We could be philosophical about what editors and bloggers should get excited about, but we’ll just enjoy the fun of being at the center of the popular culture for a few nanoseconds. And perhaps we’ll ask Carrie Fisher to invite Jenn to the movie’s premiere. A little red carpet treatment would be the cherry on top.

v EDITOR’S LETTER

May Days E

LAUREN LIEBERMAN/LILA PHOTO

arlier this season, I was at a fundraising event with Talbott Maxey and we got to talking, as moms do, about our children, which evolved into a discourse on mother-daughter relationships. She waxed poetic about her daughter, Alice, a tween who plays the violin like a virtuoso. Aside from making me smile, it sparked an idea about exploring the bonds between well-known local mother-daughter duos as a nod to Mother’s Day (this year, May 12). As you will see in our cover story, we asked each set of ladies to define, in one word, what makes their relationship special. None of them had to think about it for too long, which is a testament to the closeness they share. Take a look at the heartwarming portraits and stories of five local moms and their daughters—including Talbott and Alice, and cover subjects Mary Webster and Frances Webster Peter—by turning to “Kindred Hearts” on page 52. May also marks our annual look at Palm Beach’s up-and-comers. In this year’s “Palm Beach Rising,” we profile five locals who are making a mark, both professionally and socially. To make it fun, we asked each of them to come up with a one-liner describing the words he or she lives by. See the graphic presentation of their responses, and get to know them better, on page 64. Another exciting—and timely—story is our fashion feature inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s film adaptation of The Great Gatsby (opening in American theaters May 10). Italian photographer Gian Andrea di Stefano captured the spirit of the film beautifully by infusing the story with a clear decadence and sexiness, yet giving it a sleek, modern edge. Gian Andrea’s moody, almost melancholy, vision, as well as the period-inspired clothes and the authentic Tiffany & Co. Gatsby collection jewels, reminded me of the famous conclusion of the novel: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” Turn to “Boats Against the Current” (page 42) for our own homage to the classic. Enjoy the issue, and be sure to connect with us on social media channels for even more great content.

3Q

v ROBERT CRIPPEN Astronaut Robert Crippen has logged more than 565 hours in space, orbited Earth 374 times and traveled more than 9.4 million miles to infinity and beyond. A former Navy pilot, he became an astronaut in 1969 and embarked on four space missions, including piloting the first orbital test flight of the Shuttle Columbia. Crippen went on to serve in many high-ranking positions at NASA, retiring in 1995 as director of the Kennedy Space Center. He and his wife live in North Palm Beach and support the South Florida Science Museum. —Jennifer Pfaff n What’s it like being in space? One word: fantastic. It was a great experience. Anybody who’s done it will always remember it. There are two things I really liked about being in orbit: One is being weightless; the other is looking out at this beautiful spaceship Earth. Astronauts could spend entire days gazing out the window instead of doing work. n If you could go back to space today, what would you want to explore? It would be very interesting to go up to the International Space Station. It’s got a lot of room inside, like a large house, and they’re doing some exciting work there. n Do you think there is life out there?

Some of the finest jewelry pieces ever made have come from a little blue box. The most exclusive ones appear in the Blue Book, Tiffany and Co.’s annual catalog of its most brilliant creations. This year’s 200-piece collection was inspired by the glamour of New York City in the Roaring Twenties—big bands, lavish parties and The Great Gatsby, which served as the ultimate inspiration. Diamond headpieces, long ropes of pearls and other American Deco accessories in the Blue Book were designed especially for Baz Luhrmann’s film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic 1925 novel, which debuts May 10. (tiffany.com)

While her parents, restaurateur Frank Coniglio and Palm Beach Mayor Gail Coniglio, have always been inspiration, her four sisters ignited the style spark. “Being around so many sisters, I was always seeing them go through different fads and trends, and that was so thrilling,” she says. —L.G.S.

diversions first class v back to the classics One woman’s experiences in the land of her ancestors inspire thoughts of a Greek escape. By Andria Mitsakos

Many Greeks avoid Mykonos in the summer, opting to vacation in less-crowded (read: undiscovered by tourists) islands. I say they don’t know what they’re missing. For this Greek-American, who has spent her entire life skipping around the globe frequently touching down in Greece, Mykonos has become a divine summer ritual. Yes, the postcard-perfect isle has tons of Ibiza-type beaches for fans of the thumping party scene—from Super Paradise to Paraga,

Oia, on the high point of Santorini, is justly famed for its sunsets.

where the scene echoes South Beach—but I choose to retreat to the bohemian strips of sand that pepper the island. Like Agios Sostis, with its fabulous Kiki’s Tavern. It’s no coincidence this no-frills eatery, which dishes out home-style meals, can be found on the travel hot lists of concierge.com and The New York Times. From the meals prepared on the charcoal barbecue, the grilled whole eggplant is my usual choice, but many opt for the famous pork chop. No reservations required (or taken), but if there’s a wait, you can kill time poring over jewelry crafted by British expat John Shortall. He weaves antique opium pipes he fishes out of the Thames River in London with beautiful string, creating one-of-a-kind collectible beach jewelry that indicates you’re in the know in Mykonos. My preferred mode of transport in the Greek islands is by helicopter or single-engine Cherokee airplane with Thanos Iordanis’ com-

pany, The Luxury Choice (theluxurychoice.gr). In Mykonos, being impulsive is part of the culture. In that spirit, when he calls me saying he has an empty leg to Santorini and asks if I want to hop over for a night, I cannot say no. After a seamless 20 minutes in the air, we touch down on Greece’s most famous island. First stop: Meet friends for coffee at the tiny, old-school coffee shop at Kateli Emporiou. Coffee in Greece is similar to going for drinks in the States. Expect to sit for one to three hours; this is a social ritual that should be enjoyed, not rushed. Many java shops turn into bars in the evenings, when you can try the traditional Yellow Donkey beer by the fine wine producer Yiannis Paraskevopoulos. Tourists flock to Ammoudi to see the sunset, and while there are plenty of fish tavernas lining the water’s edge, only one stands out for freshness and service—Dimitris. It’s at the far end, and you’ll need to walk through all the others to get there, which is a little like walking through Saks Fifth Avenue and avoiding the perfume spritzers. Armed with menus instead of perfume bottles, the touts will try to lure you to dine in their establishments, but look

After a long dinner with friends in from a yacht for the night, we head over to Hasapiko, a former butcher shop turned bar that serves creative cocktails and a more alternative scene. It’s in Oia, a charming village on Santorini’s highest point known for its sunsets. Before heading back to Mykonos, I stock up on local products—Santorini is known for its amazing wine, capers, white aubergine (eggplant) and fava beans—in the small rock village of Vothonas. Ask someone to direct you to Yiannis Nomikos and buy whatever he has on offer that day. Another must is a visit to the prehistoric settlement of Akrotiri (circa twentieth to sixteenth century BCE). Go early, take your time and enjoy the paintings that adorn the structures of this ancient yet wildy advanced (they had plumbing) Minoan Bronze Age settlement that perished during a volcanic eruption. Like Santorini itself, it’s a marvel. u

GOOD SPORT

Lexus finally adds sporting sparkle to its flagship with the new LS 460 F Sport.

BY HOWARD WALKER

Luxury cars don’t come more refined or silky-smoother than the whisper-quiet Lexus flagship LS. If ever there was an automotive equivalent of maple syrup with a whipped cream topping, this is it. Since the LS’ debut in 1990, it seems Lexus has sat back and left the driving excitement to BMW, Audi and Mercedes. To many, an LS has always been the pair of comfy slippers to the Germans’ Nike Airs, the velour pantsuit to their black leather mini. But the winds of change are finally swirling around the Lexus headquarters. Tired of being branded creators of four-wheel tofu, they’re fighting back. Welcome to Lexus F Sport. It must’ve started with the bad-boy Lexus IS-F, a 5-liter V8-engined blunt instrument packing 416 horses created in 2008 to lock horns with BMW’s M3. Now, it’s the full-bodied, execuclass LS 460’s turn to get some long overdue sportification. Put your hands together for the 2013 LS 460 F Sport. 40

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

That “Sport” moniker may be a bit of a stretch. You won’t see this new F Sport on the track at Daytona or Sebring anytime soon. But it’s a terrific package of sports equipment that changes the character of the big LS and increases its already considerable appeal. For starters, it now looks the part of automotive athlete. It comes with a set of great-looking 19-inch German BBS forged alloy wheels skinned with low-profile, rubber-band-thin tires. And the ride height of the standard air suspension is dropped by around half an inch to help give a more hunkered-down stance. Lexus changed the look of the entire LS range last year, adding the controversial, in-your-face “spindle” front design. The F Sport builds on that semi-aggressiveness with a glossy black surround and more distinctive mesh pattern for the grille, as well as bigger air-gulping cooling openings and driving lamps. Yet there’s plenty of substance behind all this style. A limited-slip differential sharpens the car’s handling, while big Italian

{

Brembo brakes with black six-piston calipers clamping pizza-sized rotors stop you with the immediacy of hurling a ship’s anchor out the back. If there’s a mild disappointment, it’s the standard 4.6-liter V-8 that motivates every LS model. No teeny boost in power or torque, no mild tweaking to lower the zero-to-60 time. No nothing. Not that 386 horsepower is to be sneezed at. This is still a fabulous engine that’s oh-so-creamy-smooth in its power delivery and wonderfully responsive, especially when coupled with the new ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. But it’s not the 564-horsepower Mercedes AMG twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8 that lurks in every S63 Benz. What the F Sport delivers is great day-to-day driving agility and zest. The entire focus is no longer on softness and comfort. Toggle through the Drive Mode Select settings, and take your pick from Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport+. Each one progressively dials up the car’s throttle response, steering weight, transmission shift points and suspension firmness. Opt for Sport, and the steering becomes firmer, weightier and SouthTowerCityPlace.pdf

more precise, while the suspension firms up just enough to sharpen the handling without sacrificing ride comfort. Even without any extra ponies, the F Sport is still a lively performer, scooting from standstill to 60 mph in around 5.4 seconds. Inside, there’s more black leather than Ozzy Osbourne’s wardrobe, unique seats with beefier side bolstering and a rocking 19-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound audio. Plus, as with all new LS models, there’s an amazing 12.3-inch nav system display. Prices for this new LS 460 F Sport start at $81,990 for the reardrive version, which is just $10,000 more than the standard LS. Allwheel drive is also an option. Lexus can finally put away those comfy slippers. u

Kindred Hearts

Every mother-daughter relationship is special in its own way. This Mother’s Day, five local duos share what defines their unique connection. By Liza Grant Smith | PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHAEL PRICE

Mary Webster & Frances Webster Peter Spirited: [spir-i-tid] Having or showing mettle, courage, vigor or liveliness Mary Webster and Frances Webster Peter thrive on challenges, whether it be Frances’ ongoing quest to decorate her home or Mary’s desire to master everything (flower arranging, writing, painting, golfing, gardening). Frances’ 2012 wedding may have been the biggest test of what happens when their lively personalities collide. “I knew what Frances wanted, but there were a few times I had to say, ‘You’re just going to have to trust me,’” Mary says. Momentary clashes aside, the two relish traditions that center on food (like ham biscuits at Christmas) and continue to learn about each other. “My mom is so good at everything she does and is such a strong and independent woman that the rare moments of insecurity or second-guessing herself make me love her even more,” Frances says.

palmbeachillustrated.com | MAY 2013 53

Lesly Smith & Dani Hickox Moore Consistent: [kuhn-sis-tuhnt] Constantly adhering to the same principles, course or form Following in Lesly Smith’s footsteps couldn’t have been easy, but daughter Dani has done it in a seemingly effortless manner. Lesly, a trustee of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach and a former mayor of Palm Beach, has been named a Palm Beach Centennial Ambassador, supported a litany of causes and served on dozens of local boards. Dani carries the same philanthropic drive, earning a designation as one of Palm Beach Atlantic University’s Women of Distinction plus awards for her work with the Boys & Girls Clubs and the Town of Palm Beach United Way. With level heads and task-oriented personalities, the two practice consistency on a daily basis. “We are very predictable in our reactions to each other and most of the problems that may arise either at work or home,” Dani says.

Judy & Robin Grubman Creativity: [kree-ey-tiv-i-tee] The ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns or relationships Creativity is a trait Judy and Robin Grubman have always shared. Judy has worked as an oil painter, a sculptor, an author and a jewelry designer (Judith Murat Fine Jewelry), while Robin is an in-demand shell artist/instructor, a fashion designer and, until this month, the creative director of the pop-up boutique Skirtin’ Around. “As a child, Robin would watch while I painted portraits of her brothers and sisters, and from a very early age, she devised her own methods of creating,” Judy says. While creativity can breed independent spirits, the two found ways to connect. Robin’s “Santorini” dress design, featured in the March 2013 issue of Southern Living, was inspired by a vintage Thai dress her mother gave her 25 years ago. “I was given a huge amount of freedom to explore my own creativity. It allowed me to avoid getting stuck and always be able to hit the ‘restart’ button,” Robin says. 54

Dorothy Kohl & Lori Gendelman Closeness: [klohs-nis] A feeling of being intimate and belonging together When it came to her daughter, Lori, Dorothy Kohl was never one to test whether absence made the heart grow fonder. “I took her with me everywhere,” she confesses. As a professional tennis player, Dorothy brought a playpen to practices and later let young Lori color courtside as she played matches. Keeping her daughter close was a precedent that Dorothy set early and continued into Lori’s adulthood. Their adventures have included traveling worldwide, co-chairing the MorseLife Dinner Dance and enjoying annual family Thanksgiving celebrations. The Palm Beach residents are lucky enough to live near each other, but they still talk on the phone every day. “She has a busy life of her own and I do too, but we always have time for each other,” Dorothy says.

Talbott & Alice Maxey Unconventional: [uhn-kuhn-ven-shuh-nl] Not bound by or conforming to convention, rule or precedent If Talbott and Alice Maxey’s family tree were a work of art, it would be an abstract painting. Adapting to life as a divorced mother, Talbott has extended her definition of “family” to include friendships. Finding unexpected connectivity is also something she does philanthropically, bringing causes and individuals together—including performances by Alice, an accomplished violinist, at various events. The 12-year-old Bak Middle School of the Arts student takes it all in stride, with a good-natured attitude and poise. Both receive words like “unusual” and “different” as compliments, happy to not adhere to the norm. Where seriousness might reign supreme in other households with a preteen daughter, the Maxeys’ Palm Beach apartment is filled with merriment. “We laugh every day,” Talbott says. “We break into laughter, even when we’re yelling.” u 56

dinner

and a movie

By Linda Marx photography by JERRY RABINOWITZ

Forty-five minutes before the dinner party is set to begin, hostess Tatiana Platt is at the tennis court and dance studio. While her husband, prominent architect and designer Campion Platt, is in the kitchen preparing dinner for their 18 guests, the former America Online executive, now a mother of three, shuttles their children about. “I was so stressed before the party started,” Tatiana says an hour later, wearing a form-fitting Stella McCartney dress and edgy black Hervé Léger boots with gold heels. “I’m a new mom who had never changed a diaper. I should have skipped the children’s tennis and dance classes today. I am still learning.” The Platts, who were married at Mar-a-Lago in 2004, are the parents of Fox, 4; Xenia, 2; and Rivoli, 1. Campion also has a son, Jeremy, from a previous marriage. While their social lives have changed drastically since becoming 58

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

parents, they still entertain as many as two dozen dinner guests about four times a year and host smaller dinner parties once a month. Campion is a hands-on father and a calming influence on Tatiana in her whirlwind life as a mother. The family divides their time among their SoHo loft, their Water Mill weekend house in the Hamptons and their landmarked 1926 Gustav Maass-designed British Colonial Palm Beach home, which they bought and renovated seven years ago.

A marble dining table is set with beige Verterra plates and bamboo flatware. Hydrangeas and bougainvilleas bring an organic element.

palmbeachillustrated.com | MAY 2013 59

Tatiana usually cooks for their children, while Campion enjoys preparing healthy meals for dinner parties. He spent three days preparing the evening’s gluten-, sugar- and dairy-free menu, which included French string beans and a quinoa salad.

In addition to designing fine residences (Meg Ryan, Al Pacino and Conan O’Brien are clients), boutique hotels such as the Mercer in New York and Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, furniture and textiles, one of Campion’s great passions is cooking for family and friends. Since October, he has maintained a gluten-, sugar- and dairy-free diet, and he was eager to prepare a healthy meal for the party. “We like to entertain casual and relaxed with a buffet, open-style for easy conversation, and a movie with the sound muted on our outdoor screen at one end of the pool,” says Campion, 54, who handles all of the adult cooking for the family while Tatiana usually prepares the children’s meals. “I am focused on a healthy, fun menu, and I want our dinner guests to eat what is good for them.” Campion spent nearly three days preparing the menu for the party. The couple invited a mix of local and international friends, including New York social photographer Mary Hilliard; London-based writer and art consultant Bettina von Hase; New York lawyer Joanna Goldenstein; Dora Kino Pikounis, headmistress of the Platt children’s preschool, Discovery Dayschool; Jupiter residents Margaret and David Luce; Palm Beach Gardens friend Tina Reine; and Palm Beacher Carol Mack, wife of Earle Mack, former ambassador to Finland. 60

As guests arrive and make their way through the house to the pool deck, they nosh on appetizers of cheddar cheese kale chips and gluten-free pretzels, offered on the kitchen table. Outside, drinks are made to order at a bar set up near the pool. While guests engage in various conversations, The English Patient plays in the background and the Platt children watch TV in a pool cabana. Campion’s signature cocktail for the evening is a cucumber martini, made with vodka, St. Germain, lime juice, agave nectar, muddled limes and ginger, and garnished with a cucumber slice. “The drinks are delicious, and Campion’s parties are so glamorous and eclectic,” Hilliard says. “I am thrilled to be among so many interesting people.” Tatiana, 44, scoots in and out of conversations about guests’ projects; her children’s activities; her social networking site, famegame.com; and her charity work for Best Buddies International, The Watermill Center and New Yorkers For Children. Campion, meanwhile, toils solo at the stove, moving cookware from burners while raising and lowering the heat as guests watch in amazement. “I can’t believe Campion is an architect who can cook,” von Hase marvels. “He is extraordinarily creative and has an incredible serenity with a balanced state of mind. He is unflappable and agreeable with a fantastic spirit.” As he cooks, Campion keeps his eye on the prize. “I don’t socialize while I cook unless someone comes up to me,” he says. “I truly like the process of preparing food. And, of course, the most fun for me is when I am finished and people begin to eat.” Dinner is announced as serving platters are placed on the custom buffet Campion created earlier between the dining area and the living room. The table is set with beige Verterra plates made from fallen palm leaves paired with bamboo flatware.

I am focused on a healthy, fun menu, and I want our dinner guests to eat what is good for them.

The Platt children—Fox, 4; Xenia, 2; and Rivoli, 1—watch as Campion prepares chicken wings; Brazilian shrimp penne with cilantro; Korean pear and cranberry tarts; and French string beans with almonds, shitake mushrooms and snap peas.

As light music plays, guests take their meal in comfortable spots throughout the house: some at the marble dining table, adorned with hydrangeas and, at each place setting, bougainvillea; others on the living room sofas; in the kitchen; or poolside. The menu consists of Brazilian shrimp penne with cilantro; Asian ginger and scallion steak bites; chicken wings; and French string beans with almonds, shitake mushrooms and snap peas. One of Campion’s specialties is a salad of black quinoa with mango, crisp pomelo, Florida avocado, baby kale, spinach, Japanese cucumber with truffle oil, cinnamon and pink Himalayan sea saltroasted butternut squash. “It tastes unbelievable,” says Mack. “So good, healthy and substantial.” Before dessert is served, Tatiana escorts the chil62

dren to their bedrooms. Goldenstein thoughtfully wanders upstairs to read the children a bedtime story, giving the hostess time to enjoy her party. By the time Goldenstein returns, guests are enjoying Korean pear and cranberry tarts with coconut ice cream, macaroons and raw Mayan cacao truffles—a delicacy that “tastes like Christmas,” according to guest Margaret Luce. Everyone lingers over the truffles, laughing and talking in small groups, and feeling the warmth of an intimate evening made splendid by the fun-loving couple. “Campion and Tatiana are so intelligent and interested in everything,” Goldenstein says. “They are the best parents and so perfectly balance each other. They also happen to give great parties.” u

Design Star Delray Beach designer Nikki Poulos was an instant success in her native Australia when she founded Ecobaby, an eco-friendly line of children’s clothing. When she sold the business, Nikki embarked on a different career path and took up marine biology. After a year working for the Coral Reef Conservation Program in Florida, she felt a creative calling again and launched a women’s clothing line under her name. Last year, her modern boho-chic designs landed her on NBC’s Fashion Star, where they sold out within 10 minutes at H&M. Although Nikki wasn’t the winning contestant, the show opened plenty of doors, including an offer to produce a collection for the Home Shopping Network being released this month. Where she grew up: On a 64,000-acre cattle farm in the Outback of Australia. It was so isolated, we didn’t have electricity. ◗ Favorite childhood memory: When we were 7 or 8, my little sister and I would saddle up horses, pack a lunch and just ride all day. Having that sense of freedom is something we all long for. ◗ First garment she designed: A bikini when I was 8—and I lived miles from the ocean. ◗ Initial clients: High school classmates. ◗ Her design ethos: I’m a firm believer in fit and cut. Tailoring is everything. ◗ Her muse: Myself. I make clothes that I would wear. ◗ Looking back on Fashion Star: It was intense. I lost a ton of weight filming—probably about 10 pounds—just because of the stress of it. ◗ Favorite spot in Palm Beach: The Armory Art Center. ◗ Most recent purchase: A lot of fabric. Honestly. ◗ Dream date: Quentin Tarantino. The guy’s a genius. ◗ Playing on her iPod: Iron and Wine. ◗ Last book she read: A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry. You need a lot of Kleenex for it. ◗ Most unusual item she owns: An Amazon dolphin skull. ◗ What she never leaves home without: Great sunglasses. ◗ Proudest achievement: Being adventurous. I’ve always said yes to everything. I’m an optimist by nature. I don’t see challenges as problems; I see them as fun puzzles to work out. ◗ Favorite city: Paris. ◗ Next goal: Taking America by storm in the fashion realm is a good place to start. ◗ Best advice: Follow your heart.

Nature’s Architect While studying graphic design in Michigan, Keith Williams left college his sophomore year to take a job in ad layout at The Palm Beach Post. After nine years in newspaper design, he was offered the opportunity to work in landscape design with renowned Palm Beach architect Mario Nievera. Now a partner in Nievera Williams Design, he helps create some of the most impressive and admired gardens and outdoor spaces worldwide. “I would’ve never guessed this is what I would be doing,” he says. After 15 years, he’s never looked back. Favorite pastime: Painting figurative abstract pieces. I would mix watercolor, oil and charcoal with canvas, wood or metal. I was kind of all over the place. ◗ How he met his business partner, Mario: He bought some of my paintings. ◗ Local project he’s most proud of: The gardens at the Royal Poinciana Chapel. ◗ Most unique overseas design challenge: Designing a Palm Beachstyle home development in China. ◗ What he’s working on now: A Bermuda-style house. ◗ Whom he admires in his field: Thomas Church, who was ahead of his time, and Charlotte Frieze, who has an amazing eye for detail and a great sense of spatial relationships. ◗ What his personal landscape is like: It’s an evolving garden. It’s like a chameleon; it changes all the time. ◗ His family roots: My mother is a master gardener, and I remember my grandmother gardening a lot. ◗ Stress reliever: Working out. ◗ Hobby: Taking photos on my iPhone with cool camera apps. ◗ Favorite restaurant: Table 26. They have great gardens. (We worked on them, so I’m a little partial.) ◗ Most prized possession: A Nikon camera my mother and father gave me when I was a freshman in high school. I won a photo award with it, so that gave me a little boost from a creative aspect. ◗ Hidden talent: I can ride a unicycle. ◗ Confession: I’m not a book reader. I maybe can count on my hand how many books I’ve read entirely. ◗ Guilty pleasure: Ferragamo shoes. ◗ How many pairs of shoes he owns: I’m not going to answer that question. ◗ The title of his autobiography: Hurry Up. Everything seems to be so fast-paced, I think mainly because of technology. There seems to be no time to actually sit down and think about things. That’s all we deal with—our deadlines—which is fine, great. It keeps you going. It’s a challenge. ◗ The best part of his job: The people I work with and meet. ◗ What he’d rather be doing: Nothing. Maybe a rock star, but that’s about it.

Risk Taker Crissy Poorman knows how to use her talents to build bridges to new opportunities. The former CNN reporter was part of two Emmy Award-winning teams, covering domestic and international news and later lifestyle features. After 12 years at the network, she transferred her communications skills to the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach as the marketing director. From there, she applied her residential knowledge to pursue her current career as a Realtor at Sotheby’s. Also a travel enthusiast, Crissy has been to 62 countries between personal and professional trips. “My dad used to say, ‘If you love what you do, you’ll never call it work.’ I’ve always loved what I’ve done,” she says. As a kid, she wanted to be: A lawyer. ◗ First job: Working at a mom ’n pop ice cream store when I was 16 years old. ◗ Fond childhood memory: Singing along to the car radio with my sister during summer trips. ◗ First job at CNN: Ripping scripts after they were printed and distributing them to the proper people. ◗ Proudest contribution as a journalist: I produced a story on pediatric AIDS. We got a great award for that, and I was very proud of the fact that it put a human face on children with AIDS and hopefully brought a destigmatizing aspect to it. ◗ First significant interview: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. ◗ How she left a mark at the Ritz-Carlton: I was basically the key person responsible for developing a signature scent for the hotel. I was there just a couple weeks ago and could smell the scent wafting out of the lobby. ◗ Favorite travel destination: The one I haven’t been to yet. ◗ Still wants to visit: Cambodia and Egypt. ◗ Latest hobby: I’m trying to be a golfer. ◗ Her dream home: It would be on the Intracoastal—because I like the lights at night—with lots of windows. Something elegant but understated. ◗ Most recent favorite purchase: A mother-of-pearl shark’s tooth necklace from House of Lavande. My friend Tracy [Smith] is the designer of the collection, and it just spoke to me. ◗ What she would do if she were invisible for a day: Sit in the Oval Office. ◗ Hero: My parents. They always encouraged us to try new things, to explore, to not be scared. ◗ Her next endeavor: I’d love to write a humorous novel or screenplay drawing from my life experiences. ◗ Title of her autobiography: Fresh Pillowcases. It’s more of a metaphor of waking up each day and having the opportunity to be the most well-intentioned person that you can be. If you feel good, you can accomplish anything and hopefully avoid the frown lines. ◗ Toughest challenge: Saying no. ◗ Biggest accomplishment: Being a good friend, daughter, aunt. I really value the word “friendship,” and I don’t toss it around easily. The fact that I have wonderful friends and family and a great boyfriend is an accomplishment.

Renaissance Man Growing up, Clay Surovek gained an appreciation for art from his father, Palm Beach art dealer John Surovek. It’s an interest that never faded: Clay balanced his finance degree with a minor in art history and now applies his knowledge in both to the family business. The John H. Surovek Gallery specializes in nineteenth and twentieth century American works on paper; whereas his father acquires pieces through roughly 1940, Clay continues into the contemporary genre. For Clay, it’s about viewing art as an investment—the best of both his worlds. Favorite artist: Thomas Hart Benton. ◗ What gives him the biggest kick in his job: Seeing prospective sellers’ jaws drop when a piece they own is worth more than they thought. ◗ His college reading materials: I subscribed to Barron’s on Saturdays and then I’d get the Wall Street Journal in the mornings. ◗ Is he artistic? Maybe conceptually but certainly not on paper. ◗ Favorite childhood memory: Summer vacations at Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. ◗ How his home life growing up was different: In high school, a lot of my friends would come over and ask questions about some of the artwork. I can’t say I necessarily ever did that when I went into anybody else’s house. ◗ His advice for buying artwork: Buy it because you like it. Don’t buy it for any other reason. ◗ If he weren’t an art dealer: I would like to get involved with something with children. ◗ Favorite hidden gem in Palm Beach: The Society of the Four Arts. ◗ How he met his wife, Jessica: First and only blind date I ever went, or would ever go, on. ◗ Favorite places to take his children, Chelsea, Brady and Coley: The Palm Beach Zoo and the Fort Lauderdale Children’s Museum. ◗ Books he reads again and again: A Land Remembered and Den of Thieves. ◗ His fitness goal: To run a marathon. ◗ How he enjoys spending family time: Boating. ◗ On his bucket list: My wife and I would like to get our pilot’s licenses. ◗ Whom he would most like to have a drink with: Pablo Picasso. ◗ If a piece of art represented his life: It would be very bright, have bold colors and depict perhaps an incredible coastal scene or my family. ◗ Best advice: As my wife always says, “Be here now.” ◗ Most prized piece of art: My kids’ artwork.

Soul Survivor Aime Dunstan is a survivor in more ways than one. She lost her mother at age 12, put herself through journalism school at the University of Florida, graduated at age 20 and moved to the Palm Beach area, where she reported on the social scene for several publications before starting her own business, It! Weddings and Events. Not even cancer got in her way: She was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in July (at age 30) and underwent six months of chemotherapy—while working full time and being a mom to her infant son, Barrett. Aime was declared cancer-free in February and shared her inspiring story at the American Cancer Society’s gala. Most influential person in her life: My mother. She was an incredible dreamer. She lived life to the fullest and taught me you can have it all. ◗ Why she started her business: I just fell in love with the idea that I could contribute to the bottom lines of these charities by working behind the scenes and getting the message out through public relations and events. ◗ Her first sign of cancer: I was super itchy everywhere from head to toe. I would wake up in the middle of the night with a hairbrush and scratch myself. This went on for two years. ◗ Her reaction to the diagnosis: Part of me was happy because I finally had an answer. I wasn’t crazy. But obviously, when you have cancer, it’s a scary thing. ◗ Quote that inspires her: Do unto others as you would have done to you. ◗ Quality she admires most in a person: Integrity. ◗ What she’s reading: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. ◗ Local hotspot: I’m obsessed with the juice bar at Amici Market. I’m there almost every day. ◗ Stress reliever: Champagne! ◗ Guilty pleasure: Champagne! ◗ What kept her going through her illness: I was most concerned with giving my son a normal upbringing and proceeding as I would if I didn’t have cancer. ◗ Best advice she received: A friend told me to visualize the chemo going through every part of my body and healing me. ◗ Most prized possession: I adore collecting books. Being surrounded by stacks and stacks of them comforts me. ◗ Would want to have dinner with: Condoleezza Rice. ◗ Desert island essentials: Sunblock, Pandora Radio and Curtis Stone. ◗ What she learned from having cancer: You never know how loved you are until you go through an experience like this, when people worry they might lose you. ◗ Title of her autobiography: Bring it on! 72

Broaden your wine palate with 20 must-try bottles. By Mark Spivak

W

ith wine, as in life, we tend to be creatures of habit. Most of us find something we like and stick to it— partly out of a need to create a comfort zone, partly out of fear of the unknown. There are more than 10,000 varieties of wine grapes, so it seems a bit silly to go through life drinking nothing but Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon. Remember the first time you decided to forgo a wellcrafted vanilla or chocolate in favor of Cherry Garcia or Coffee Heath Bar Crunch? The same sense of discovery and feeling of reward is waiting for you at the wine shop, with a little prodding and guidance. Here are 20 wines to awaken the senses and fan your curiosity. And yes, there is a handful of old faithfuls included as a backup.

Any wine geek can tell you Pinot Meunier is one of the three varieties in the classic Champagne blend, but it’s unusual to find it vinified by itself without bubbles. The Chandon version displays earthy flavors of dark berries, anise and minerals, with a vivid contrast between its intense flavors and smooth texture. Crafted by winemaker Joel Burt, it is a distinctive and charming bottle.

The garden at Newton

Newton Merlot, Napa, 2008 ($50) Even Miles from Sideways would like this one: The nose is beautifully nuanced, the texture is pure and ripe, and the wine is graced with good acidity, soft tannins and mouthwatering black fruits. Newton’s commitment to healthy and sustainable farming comes through loud and clear.

Sagrantino di Montefalco Collepiano, Arnaldo Caprai, Umbria 2005 ($60) Anyone who has visited Umbria knows the joys of Sagrantino di Montefalco. This one is full-bodied, rich and smoky, with an assortment of peppery black fruits. Made by a family winery established in 1971, it matches perfectly with red meats, lamb and game dishes.

Georges Duboeuf Brouilly, 2011 ($15) Remember real Beaujolais, the stuff we used to drink before Nouveau stole the market? The best wines come from the 10 crus, and Brouilly is known for being among the most full-bodied and complex. This bargain stand-in for Burgundy is sturdy and satisfying, with good acidity and a core of rich black fruit.

Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Rare, 2002 ($160)

Piper-Heidsieck's Cuvée Rare, Georges Duboeuf Brouilly and Newton's merlot (top) are memorable tastes.

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Founded in 1785, Piper-Heidsieck somehow became one of the forgotten Champagnes over the next few centuries. The Cuvée Rare is its hallmark bottling, produced only in the best vintages. The 2002 is a blend of 70 percent Chardonnay and 30 percent Pinot Noir, made in what winemaker Regis Camus calls “a chiseled style”; it is beautifully concentrated, with an intense palate imprint, pinpoint acidity and exotic flavors of citrus, kiwi and passion fruit.

Marchesi Antinori Cervaro della Sala, Umbria, 2010 ($48) After 700 years and 26 generations, Antinori has learned a thing or two. On the surface, this wine seems to break all the rules; it’s primarily composed of Chardonnay, a grape not native to the region, and made with skin contact, a controversial method for white wine in general. In the hands of winemaking guru Renzo Cotarella, however, it’s one of Italy’s most glorious whites: ripe and generous, packed with flavors of green apple, citrus and vanilla, and capable of long-term aging.

Skouras Moscofilero, Peloponnese, 2010 ($15) Burgundy-trained George Skouras has been one of the key figures in the renaissance of Greek wine over the past few decades. His Moscofilero is rich and bold, with notes of candied citrus in the mid palate giving way to hints of white pep-

per on the finish. This is a dream with fish and shellfish and a good match with white meats as well.

San Pio, Mastrojanni, Tuscany, 2009 ($35) This entry-level red from Mastrojanni, a well-known Brunello producer, is a blend of 80 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 20 percent Sangiovese Grosso. San Pio spends 18 months in barrel and six months in bottle before release. The result is a rich and full wine, with good acidity and flavors of black raspberry and melting chocolate. Ripe and supple, it’s a pleasure to drink.

Bodega Diamandes Gran Reserva, Valle de Uco, Argentina, 2007 ($38) Diamandes is owned by the Bonnie family, proprietors of Chateau Malartic-

Lagraviere in Bordeaux. The wine is made by famed enologist Michel Rolland, and part of the production goes into Clos de Los Siete, while the rest is bottled under the Diamandes label. This 70/30 blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon is crammed with sweet, old-vine fruit and overtones of raspberry jam—concentrated yet seamless and delicious to boot.

Steele Cabernet Franc, Lake County, 2009 ($17) Native to the Bordeaux region, Cabernet Franc forms part of the blend in the Médoc and the Right Bank; floral and vegetal, it adds complexity to reds in California as well, as it is sometimes bottled by itself in the Golden State. Jed Steele’s version is bright and juicy, with classic bell pepper aromas and rich flavors of cassis and dark berries.

Hirsch Gruner Veltliner No. 1, Austria, 2010 ($18) Gruner Veltliner is Austria’s most widely planted white wine variety; it gained a foothold in the United States around a decade ago when it began inundating wine lists in Las Vegas, of all places. This mainstay wine from Hirsch is bright and crisp, with flavors of lemon, lime and white pepper. Bring on the oysters.

Belle Glos Meiomi Pinot Noir, Taylor Lane, 2010 ($20) Better known for Cabernet Sauvignon, the Wagner family is producing a series of carefully crafted Pinot Noir from different regions. The 2010 Taylor Lane comes from high-altitude vineyards on the Sonoma Coast. Concentrated black cherry flavors mingle with earth notes on the palate, and the finish is assertive and

Numanthia, Toro, 2008 ($55)

Terrazas was established in 1960 by Moët et Chandon out of a belief that Argentina possessed the potential to make world-class wine. The operation is an international affair, headed by Hervé Birnie-Scott, a Frenchman from Sancerre who worked in California, Australia and New Zealand before immigrating to South America. Their version of Torrontes, Argentina’s signature white

It’s no exaggeration to say Numanthia is the wine that made the Toro region of Spain famous. Made from ancient, low-yielding Tinta de Toro vines, the 2008 is plump yet graceful, filled with flavors of blackberry, cassis and fresh herbs—remarkably supple and drinkable for such a large-scale wine, with food matchups ranging from fish to red meats.

Nivole, Michele Chiarlo, Piedmont, 2011 ($15/375 ml) This sparkling Moscato d’Asti is semisweet, low in alcohol and high in acidity, with a sexy, enticing nose and a plethora of ripe fruit flavors. Generally served as a dessert wine, it can also double as an aperitivo according to your taste. This is a Tom Jones wine, to be sure—although you can get an equal amount of pleasure by pairing it with a fruit tart.

Quinta de Soalheiro Alvarinho, Portugal, 2010 ($25) Perched near the Spanish border in the region of Melgaço, Soalheiro destroys the myth that all Vinho Verde is light, crisp and inoffensive. The nose exhibits hints of lime blossom and tropical fruit; the taste is seductive, with bright citrus flavors and a long, luscious finish.

Gilles de Beauchêne

Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Rosé, Epernay ($45) For many years, an affordable rosé Champagne was the impossible dream; then Nicolas Feuillatte, France’s bestselling Champagne house, came to the rescue. Made primarily from Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, the wine is solid and well proportioned. Luscious flavors of strawberry, raspberry and rhubarb coat the palate and linger on the mouthwatering finish.

Nicolas Feuillatte produces an accessible but well-structured rosé Champagne.

Chateau D'Esclans

Chateau D’Esclans Whispering Angel, Côtes de Provence, 2011 ($20) Following years of decline in America, dry rosé is back. Whispering Angel is the entry-level wine from Sacha Lichine’s Chateau D’Esclans, and it’s a beauty—structured and elegant, with delicious flavors of red berries. As for food pairings, remember the advice of Julia Child: Rosé goes with everything.

Rocco Ceselin

There’s no connection between this grape and Syrah—Petite Sirah is closely related to a variety called Durif in southern France and has flourished in the California climate. Foppiano Vineyards, a family operation founded in 1896, has made a specialty of it. Moderate use of new oak and gentle cellar practices combine to bring out the sturdy black fruit and pepper accents of this full-bodied wine.

The place to discover them is Lageder, a biodynamic and sustainable winery founded in the Tyrol in 1823. This version has an enticing, floral nose with hints of almonds; the wine is medium-bodied and crisp in the mouth, with fleshy flavors of citrus and peaches. It is equally at home with cheeses and cold meats as with fish and shellfish. u

ON THE TRAIL

The Derby puts us in the mood for a road trip in America’s whiskey country. BY MARK SPIVAK

With summer just around the bend, it’s time to plan a little vacay. If you’re maxed out on Napa, bored by Bordeaux and turned off by another trip to Tuscany, might we suggest a distillery tour? While crossing the Atlantic to visit Scotland—home of the great single malts—has no small measure of allure, there’s no need to head so far afield. Some of the world’s greatest whiskies are produced right here in the good ol’ U.S. of A., and the facilities producing them have become popular destinations. With the Run for the Roses in May, our thoughts land squarely on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, founded in 1999 by the Kentucky Distillers’ Association. This road well-traveled consists of Four Roses, Heaven Hill, Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Wild Turkey and Woodford Reserve, whose facilities are located off the Bluegrass Parkway between Lexington and Louisville. Another scintillating option, The American Whiskey Trail, which is sponsored by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, is larger in scope. It includes Barton Brands of Kentucky in Bardstown; two producers in Tennessee (George Dickel and Jack Daniel’s); historical sites such as Fraunces Tavern in Manhattan and Gadbsy’s Tavern in Alexandria, Virginia; and the ultimate bit of Americana, George Washington’s restored distillery in Mount Vernon. Bourbon is the only alcoholic beverage to be recognized by an act of Congress as a “distinctive product of 82

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

the United States.” According to legend, and ironically enough, the amber liquor was invented by a Baptist minister named Elijah Craig. The good reverend may not actually have created bourbon, but he supposedly developed the technique of aging the spirit in charred American oak barrels. Although Jack Daniel’s receives more than 200,000 visitors annually, Kentucky is still the center of the universe for American whiskey. The bourbon distilleries are located no more than an hour’s drive from each other, and the entire trail can be covered in three days; plan on spending several hours at each producer. Some tours are free, while others cost between $5 and $8—a modest fee compared to some winery tours in Napa. Not surprisingly, the tour usually ends in the gift shop, and samples are generally provided. Louisville makes an excellent base for exploring the Bourbon Trail. The famous Brown Hotel and the Seelbach (now operated by Hilton) are both restored to their nineteenth-century glory. Devotees of the hip and trendy might consider the 21C Museum Hotel, which houses a gallery featuring installation art. The 21C is also home to Proof On Main, one of the city’s finest restaurants and bars. If you’re seeking accommodations in the countryside, the Beaumont Inn in Harrodsburg and the Woodford Inn in Versailles make for excellent and charming stays. The historic center of the trail is the self-proclaimed “Bourbon Capital of the World”—Bardstown. Home to the headquarters of Heaven Heaven Hill Distilleries Bourbon Heritage Center Hill and Barton Brands, Bardstown is also the site of the annual Kentucky Bourbon Festival held each September. Tourists steep themselves in the past, touring the town on the restored trolley and visiting the Oscar Getz Museum of Whiskey, one of the recognized historic sites on the American Whiskey Trail. Another

benefit of staying in Bardstown: Maker’s Mark and Jim Beam are nearby. Next to bourbon, nothing stirs the passions of a native Kentuckian more than Thoroughbred racing, of course. No trip to the state is complete without basking in the excitement of a live race. The main attraction is Churchill Downs in South Louisville, where the Kentucky Derby is held the first Saturday of May. On Derby weekend, the state’s two main industries come together, with more than 100,000 mint juleps served on race day alone. Not everyone can make it to the first racing jewel of the Triple Crown, but Churchill Downs hosts live races from April through June and again in September and October. Another elegant and upscale track can be found in Keeneland, just outside Lexington. Although the Keeneland race schedule is restricted to live events in April and October, the facility sponsors Thoroughbred sales at various times during the year for wouldbe owners of racehorses. We’ll stick with purchasing some true-blue American whiskey. u

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

“Life is short,” states the credo. “Eat good food.” It’s hard to argue with this philosophy, especially when the food comes from the Citrus Grillhouse in Vero Beach. Scott Varricchio opened Citrus in March 2010. Varricchio is a chef with a hefty resume: a pastry apprenticeship at Manhattan’s legendary La Côte Basque, followed by stints at Picasso in Las Vegas and New York’s Ouest and ‘Cesca. Judging by the subtle harmony of his cuisine, his stint at Picasso with Julian Serrano appears to have left an indelible mark on his soul. His restaurant is perched on the edge of the ocean in Vero, in a building with a wraparound porch that contains a bar and outdoor seating. The interior dining room is small, accommodating perhaps 60 covers, with an open kitchen and another bar manned by a mixologist who clearly enjoys his work. The planked wooden floor comes from an old tobacco barn, and the mahog-

any tables overlook stunning water views. Begin with something as simple as a salad of baby arugula, heirloom tomatoes and shaved pecorino and roasted garlic in a lemon-thyme vinaigrette ($9), and you’ll see the virtues of this place. The flavors are clear, direct and pristine, highlighted by the quality of the olive oil. The pasta section is more than a nod to Varricchio’s Italian heritage. It is a short but impressive selection of dishes done to perfection. A half-order of pappardelle with rock shrimp ($12) is the ultimate comfort food. The beautifully undercooked shellfish napped in a slightly spicy sauce is infused with the tang of a seafood reduction. Another half-order of linguine ($12) is crisply al dente, offset with baby spinach, scampi butter and more of those tasty heirloom tomatoes. Among the main courses, veal flank steak ($22) is a thing of beauty. Marked by the grill, tender and flavorful, it arrives garnished with sautéed cannellini beans.

Pan-seared U-10 scallops ($27) are sweet and plump, escorted by polenta cakes and corn sautéed in chili butter. Varricchio offers a substantial, rotating list of daily specials as well. Should you have room for it, the most popular dessert is the assortment of minibites ($8): key lime pie with crème fraiche lime cream, dark chocolate citrus cake with dark chocolate ice cream and lemon cheesecake with chantilly cream. There are dessert specials as well, such as the orange and chocolate bread pudding offered on the evening of our visit. The wine list is short but wellfocused—perhaps one dozen whites and 15 reds, with a mix of commercial and boutique labels at attractive prices. A bottle of Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc ($30) is a nice match with the assertively seasoned food. There is a good selection of spirits as

Spicy seared tuna with lemon-scented orzo, pepper relish and pickled red onion

well, particularly 10 or 12 small-batch rums that make a good stand-in for dessert. Service is friendly, knowledgeable and well-paced. The only minor glitch is the presence of robotic food runners who clear tables before your entrée and inquire if everything is all right after you’ve finished. A visit to Vero Beach can feel like a glimpse of Old Florida. Citrus Grillhouse is a throwback to a time when food was crafted with pride and attention to detail. u

Pear gorgonzola salad with organic baby spinach

Here’s a hidden gem we almost hesitate to reveal, as we (selfishly) don’t want to crowd this wonderfully cozy and calm find. Tucked in the lower level of The Whitney condominiums in downtown West Palm Beach is CaféToria, a sunny, inviting bistro where everything—from the friendly (and fast) service to the two-person tables topped with potted plants—is small but substantial. The lunch menu features only a handful of salads and sandwiches, but you’ll have trouble deciding among the savory offerings, like turkey, brie and honey mustard on a croissant or grilled chicken with goat cheese, sundried tomatoes and fresh tomato on Ciabatta.

Culinary minds are always creating innovative dishes to lure in diners, but sometimes all we want is a hot fudge sundae from the Palm Beach Grill. It’s a classic that never loses its appeal because it’s made with the best of everything: gorgeous vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, toasted walnuts and a huge gravy boat of hot fudge. Share it ... or not. (561-835-1077)

Catching Up with the Rock ’n Roll Sushi Chef

88

It’s a discipline that requires concentration, precise hand movements and perhaps a bit of meditation. At least in Chef Josh Lyons’ mind, rolling sushi is like attending a yoga session. “Sushi bars are always quiet. There’s a Zen feeling when you are there,” he says. “Even though your hands are moving like lightning, you’re in the zone, your own mindset.” The Jupiter resident and sushi menu creator of Clematis Street’s Fuku restaurant gained national attention last year as a contestant on Food Network Star. Also the lead singer of an Orlando-based band, Lyons has branded himself as a “rock ’n roll sushi chef” and often used musical references when talking about food on the show. Lyons was eliminated in the third episode, but the exposure has since led to plenty of other opportunities. In addition to Fuku, he’s opening an Asian tapas restaurant in downtown Orlando, and he founded Instrumental Hope, a nonprofit that raises funds to buy musical instruments for less-fortunate schools from West Palm Beach to Orlando. He has appeared on the Food Network’s Chopped and guest stars on morning cooking shows throughout the country. His dream is to host a show in which he cooks with rock stars. He is, after all, the rock ’n roll sushi chef. —Jennifer Pfaff PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, the perfect time to think about protecting your skin. Babo Botanicals, a line of skin-care products for children and adults, has introduced a new 30 SPF Clear Zinc sunscreen. Clear Zinc uses zinc oxide, an all-natural mineral, to block UVB and UVA rays. What sets it apart from other sunscreens is its clear application. It doesn’t penetrate the skin and doesn’t leave any residue to rub in. In addition, Clear Zinc is hypoallergenic, gluten free, vegan and certified organic; even its packaging is free of BPA and phthalates. Babo Botanicals products are sold at GBS Beauty stores in Boca Raton. (babobotanicals.com)

SLIM FAST Summer is fast approaching, but bikini season in Florida never truly wanes. These diets can help you shed unwanted pounds or simply promote wellness. The FastDiet: This new diet pioneered by Dr. Michael Mosley and Mimi Spencer (left) in The FastDiet ($24, Atria Books) harnesses the power of intermittent fasting. Dieters eat normally for five days, then fast for two nonconsecutive days. The reasoning is after just a few hours of fasting, the body begins to turn on its fat-burning systems. Mosley dictates “fasting” as cutting calories by two-thirds; men eat 600 calories a day, while women eat 500. Studies show this diet can result in weight loss and a decreased risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some cancers. 104 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

The Mediterranean Diet: This diet promotes overall healthy eating, focusing on ingredients found near the Mediterranean Sea. Dieters eat plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts, as well as fish, poultry and a dash of red wine, and replace butter with olive oil. When combined with exercise, this diet results in weight loss and a lowered risk for heart disease. DASH Diet: Our final pick helps treat or prevent high blood pressure. The DASH—Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension—Diet reduces sodium intake to 1,500-2,300 milligrams a day. Aim for a diet rich in potassium and calcium, focusing on whole grains, vegetables, fruit and low-fat dairy. Lean meat, poultry and fish are encouraged, while nuts and legumes are reduced to a few servings a week.

TIM STREET-PORTER, 2011, DORIS DUKE FOUNDATION FOR ISLAMIC ART, HONOLULU, HAWAII

agenda

CULTURE v SUBLIME SHANGRI LA For the glamorous heiress and philanthropist Doris Duke, Shangri La was more than an imagined land. It was home. “Doris Duke’s Shangri La: Architecture, Landscape, and Islamic Art,” on display at the Norton Museum of Art through July 14, welcomes visitors inside Duke’s Shangri La estate in Honolulu. The inheritor of her father’s tobacco and energy fortune, Duke enjoyed traveling the world and sought to create a grand seasonal getaway. She enlisted legendary architect Marion Sims Wyeth (who would later design the Norton and dozens of Palm Beach mansions) to construct Shangri La on five acres near Honolulu, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Completed in the late 1930s, the home incorporates modern architecture, tropical landscape and Duke’s vast collection of Islamic art. Pieces featured in the exhibit include mother-of-pearl furniture from Turkey and Syria, as well as a pair of nineteenth-century woodand-copper courtyard doors with Arabic calligraphy. Also on view: archival photos, schematic drawings and an architectural model of the estate. (561-832-5196, norton.org) —Mary Gibble

TRANSFORMATIVE ART On May 1, the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens welcomes “Transformations: The Art of Yvonne Parker.” A mixed-media artist who divides her time between Pennsylvania and Florida, Parker grew up in Europe in an artistic family. She is known for incorporating carefully selected fragments into her art, as seen in her “Fragmented Beauty” series, wherein she constructs contemporary sculptures out of vintage ceramics and hand-painted porcelain. This practice is characteristic of the pieces featured in “Transformations,” which express emotional and human evolutions via material changes. (561-832-5328, ansg. org) —Mary Gibble
