From the Publisher

Fall in Florida is different than anywhere else. When growing up in the Northeast, I always associated the season with new, warmer clothes and a defined chill in the air. Here, it means the kids go back to school and summer vacations come to an end. Retailers that temporarily closed for the past couple of months are back in full swing.

Because September is Restaurant Month, it’s the perfect reason to talk about local restaurants, particularly those garnering much fanfare for representing two of my favorite concepts: farm-to-table dining and the slow-food movement, an opposition to fast food and the “fast life.”

The Cooper Craft Kitchen and Bar in PGA Commons is the newest farm-to-table eatery on the scene and is setting the bar high by using local, fresh, seasonal, high-quality ingredients. Chef Adam Brown has a background in French cuisine and adds Mediterranean touches to his dishes.

We have been enjoying Max’s Harvest since it opened in Delray Beach in 2011, and the kitchen always knows how to turn simple ingredients into sheer pleasure. With Executive Chef Eric Baker at the helm, items such as High on the Hog Pork Duo (roasted pork loin and shoulder) and smoked gouda and pancetta macaroni and cheese are Follow me on culinary masterpieces. twitter @PBIsales The Wyndham Hotel in Boca Raton now has Farmer’s Table, which is committed to locally sourced, healthy ingredients like sustainable seafood and cage-free eggs. It may seem surprising to find this type of cuisine in a hotel, but it is quickly becoming the kind of food many diners crave. If you’re vegetarian or vegan, the menu does not disappoint.

As the season changes (even when the weather doesn’t), we hope you have an opportunity to experience all that our area has to offer—and to support local restaurants at the time of the year they need it most.

Award-worthy

sive? Absolutely not. But it is a highly curated, and wholly subjective, mix of what we love about Palm Beach now, from glamping in the backwoods of Okeechobee to a chef’s table at the of-the-moment restaurant. Turn to page 47 for the complete list—and if you think we’ve missed something, send us your own choices on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #ThePBIAwards.

While we’re highlighting the best of the best, we also thought it would be fun to cover the fall trends in our fashion feature, “Port of Call.” Fashion Editor Katherine Lande presents looks that are most relevant to the Palm Beach wardrobe (loving the fresh take on exotic textiles, always chic in my opinion) against a hyperedgy backdrop: the Port of Palm Beach. Embark on our photographic journey through the fall collections on page 66.

If your idea of ports of call involves a sleek, powerful yacht, see “Ultra Yachts” on page 84. Howard Walker, our expert on luxury autos and boats, covers some of the most spectacular floating masterpieces on the market today. If an ultra yacht is in your future, check out Zaha Hadid’s architectural marvel, Jazz, or the wicked-cool trimaran Adastra. And for outfitting that new vessel, see our favorite nautical accessories in Elements (page 104).

As you ease into a brand new season this month, there is much in this issue to contemplate and be inspired by. And remember, content is not limited to our printed pages. Enjoy even more of the Palm Beach lifestyle on palmbeachillustrated.com and on all our social channels, and get energized for the exciting months ahead.

In Palm Beach, the “season” begins earlier and earlier. I attribute this to the vibrant and ever-changing mix of residents, many of whom have school-aged children or business concerns that cause them to come back to town by Labor Day. Because September has become the unofficial start of the social season, it also is the perfect time to unveil one of our most exciting features, “The PBI Awards.” In this 19-page editorial package, we share some of our favorite places, moments and experiences from the past year.

teven Chase points to an inch-tall pineapple growing inconspicuously among the plants in the Society of the Four Arts’ Botanical Garden. “It’s like a treasure hunt here,” says Chase, the society’s new gardener.

He’s right: Noticing every plant among the 170 species in this kempt jungle off Royal Palm Way requires looking up, down and all around as well as using all senses—visitors might miss the just-blooming frangipani or the allspice tree if they didn’t smell them.

With so much to take in, we asked Chase to identify a few notto-miss plants in Palm Beach’s lush public enclosure. Look for these unique blooms during your next visit: Ylang-ylang (Cananga odorata): Smell familiar? The fragrance from the long-petaled, yellow-green flowers on this tree, seen in the Four Art’s Chinese garden, is the inspiration for Chanel No. 5.

Amorphophallus titanum: Although this Indonesian flower in the property’s Bromeliad Garden is still in its infant stages, the plant is the tallest in the world, reaching roughly 10 feet in height.

Old Man palm (Coccothrinax crinita): This palm tree, found in the Bromeliad Garden, gets its funny name from its trunk, which is covered with stringy wood-like fibers, resembling a long shaggy beard.

Sausage tree (Kigelia pinnata): Look up and you’ll notice sausageshaped fruit hanging from the limbs of these trees, which grow in the Four Arts’ Bromeliad and Informal gardens. While the African fruit is part of the diet for indigenous animals like elephants, Chase admits he once ate it—“and I’m still alive.” (561-655-7227, fourarts.org)

Can you give an example of an exercise incorporated into The Practice?

A five-minute morning meditation—just sitting with yourself—is the first “exercise” of the day. When we start the day grounded and connected within, it makes all the difference in the world. Once we get connected inside, there really is no stopping us.

What words do you live by?

“The spiritual life is not separate from your real world; it is your real world.”

Into the

Closet

Branded as an ‘‘equestrian lifestyle destination,’’ the Tryon Resort will feature an equestrian center, an Arnold Palmer golf course and country vistas.

With the social season around the

corner, keeping your clothes, accessories and shoes organized is an important yet overwhelming task. No one

knows this more than Melanie Charlton (right), the CEO and creative director of Clos-ette, a full-service custom closet design firm. Since launching her

business in 2002, the Palm Beacher has transformed closets, dressing rooms, es for notable clients such as Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Sting, Liv Tyler and Kate Hudson. what's the secret to creating the orga-

nized, efficient closet of your dreams? here are some tips from the expert herself:

1. Remove old and outdated items before beginning the organizing process. Culling is the best way to “get to know” your wardrobe again.

2. Hang as many items as possible, and always separate items by color. This is a standard visual merchandising trick that allows your eyes to follow the clothes.

3. Always use the same colored hangers. This little technique lets you focus on the

Wellington’s equestrian lifestyle is galloping into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and two Palm Beachers are leading the way. Mark Bellissimo, CEO of Equestrian Sport Productions LLC, and Sheila Johnson, CEO of Salamander Hotels and Resorts, have partnered to create the Tryon Resort, a luxury retreat in Tryon, North Carolina designed for horse lovers. While the 150-room hotel is under construction until 2016, the resort’s equestrian center opened this summer and, when fully complete, will include riding arenas, 1,000 stalls and a sports complex. The 1,400-acre property will also house vacation rental cabins, an RV park and luxury homes for guests who just don’t want to ride away. (salamanderhotels.com)

A Spirit unearthed An underground concoction produced by bootleggers, distilled deep in nature and stored in a mason jar has a history as proud as its American Southern roots. Moonshine Nation: The Art of Creating Cornbread in a Bottle (Lyons Press, $16.95), written by Palm Beach Illustrated Food and Wine Editor Mark Spivak, tells the controversial story of corn whiskey, the backwoods spirit made in the Appalachian South that plays into the area’s culture even today. Beginning with the Whiskey Rebellion of the 1790s and into prohibition, the narrative features profiles and photos of moonshiners past and present and anecdotal asides like women’s roles in the male-dominant production. The book also includes an index of modern producers along with recipes for now-legal moonshine cocktails, mixed with rebellious backstories. (203-4584500, lyonspress.com)

The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to nails what the shoe took from the nails many years ago.”

Et Voila, Beauté! by katherine lande

As an homage to the lifechanging moment Christian Louboutin decided to paint red nail polish on the soles of a pair of his label’s heels, the designer has introduced a line of polish in colors like Rouge Louboutin (shown, $50).

Like Louboutin, the fall collections are inspired by bold color. Turn the page for pieces that roar.

As owner of two monogramming shops— located across the street from each other—she can personalize anything from sterling-silver cups to breakfast-in-bed trays. “If you walk in and you don’t see it, ask us and we’ll figure it out,” she says of her philosophy. For Bernstein, monogramming is more than just putting initials on an object; it’s about creating the perfect personalized item. “This is a place where anything goes,” she says.

Read about the most common embroidery and monogramming mistakes at palmbeachillustrated. com/hatsetcetera

It’s not every day you find a shop that is half couture millinery and half embroidery and monogramming, but that’s exactly what Hats Etcetera in Boca Raton is. The store is owned and operated by Carina Gatto and Joseph Orlando, a talented husband-andwife duo with a combined 34 years of experience in custom designs with high-profile clients such as Ralph Lauren and Lilly Pulitzer. Below, Orlando shares his expertise.

What is the etiquette for monogramming?

Usually, the last-name initial is in the center of a three-letter monogram and is the larger of the three. If you want to have the initials all in a row, because it’s how they are read—for instance, “JJR” for “John Jacob Roberts”—the letters will be all the same size.

Are there items that shouldn’t be monogrammed?

When you’re talking about rubberized items or an item with a lot of spandex in it, the process melts some of the background material. So these are the only items I wouldn’t advise monogramming.

What trends are you seeing?

Scripts are very popular right now, as are metallic threads. Also, I think businesses are beginning to use embroidery and monogramming as a promotional tool, as well as gifts for their employees or clients. Everyone loves to have something personalized.

Escape Pearls of Polynesia

By Paul Rubio

Polynesia encompasses some of the world’s most treasured islands, with Hawaii in its northernmost reaches and French Polynesia at its core. Two lavish resorts capture the essence of this subregion of Oceania and deliver the full package of Pacific exotica.

aloha, Kauai Few would dispute Kauai as the crown jewel of Hawaii. With its multihued mountains, skyscraping waterfalls and rugged canyons, the lush “Garden Island” is the Hawaii of legends.

Kauai’s exotic environs have landed starring roles in blockbuster films, as the imaginary Isla Nublar in 1993’s Jurassic Park and the ethereal jungle arena in 2013’s Hunger Games: Catching Fire. But the island’s fantasy landscapes are indeed reality, the subject of countless “Wishing You Were Here” missives detailing a faraway land synonymous with such terms as “heaven” and “Shangri-La.” Nestled on Kauai’s northern shore, the St. Regis Princeville Resort proves “heaven” is a five-hour direct plane ride from California.

By way of tiered, outward-facing design, the rooms and suites at the St. Regis Princeville dole out postcard-perfect views of Hanalei Bay—and all its oceanic and mountainous 42

excess—through expansive glass walls in the bedroom and bathroom. Soft earth tones and light-wood furnishings frame this natural splendor in marble vanities and oversized Jacuzzi tubs (with a privacy switch that turns the glass wall from translucent to opaque).

These nature panoramas have branded the St. Regis Princeville Hawaii’s most coveted address (and the fact that it’s located within the prestigious 9,000-acre resort community doesn’t hurt). So it should come as no surprise the resort capitalizes on the million-dollar views whenever possible, far beyond the rooms and suites. Gawk at Hanalei Bay from the glass-enveloped lobby lounge; soak in the scene from the 5,000-square-foot infinity-edged swimming pool; toast to the Aloha state from a beachfront cabana; paddleboard into the horizon with an expert instructor; tee off at the waterfront Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed Makai Golf Club; and watch the sun descend over the mountains from signature restaurant Kauai Grill, helmed by celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

Like all St. Regis properties, top-notch service enhances and often consummates the resort experience. At the St. Regis Princeville, the addition of Hawaii’s warm and welcoming Aloha spirit elevates the already-exalted St. Regis hospitality.

While some find it difficult to break away from the resort, a rental vehicle is ideal for island pursuits (though a house car does provide complimentary pickup and drop-off within the Princeville vicinity, including Hanalei). If only to explore for a single afternoon, venture to Kilauea and browse the Asian art and collectibles at Kong Lung, a funky gallery store housed in a former sugar plantation. Frolic with the nene

(endemic Hawaiian geese) and watch the redfooted boobies take flight at the Kilauea Lighthouse. In Hanalei, pop into Yellowfish Trading Co. to pick up a few vintage and modern Hawaiian souvenirs for friends and family back at home. Oh, and don’t forget those “Wishing You Were Here” postcards. (stregisprinceville.com)

Moorea to love It’s just one of French Polynesia’s 118 islands, but little Moorea makes a big impression. Often overshadowed by her illustrious sister Bora Bora, Moorea emerges from the Pacific a high-rising mountain chain engulfed by crystal-clear waters robust with marine life.

Like Bora Bora, Moorea masters the overwater bungalow experience—an immersion into foreign seascapes of turquoise and emerald via immaculate private suites straddling the ocean floor. However, unlike tourist-centric Bora Bora, at Moorea, Polynesian culture and local island life remain authentic—and undiscovered by the masses.

Moorea’s premier accommodations are found within the 106-room Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort and Spa. At this location, the brand enters a new echelon of luxury. While the resort houses garden suites and guest rooms with private plunge pools, it’s the panoramic over-water bungalows that impress the most. There’s nothing quite like jumping from your private balcony into crystalline waters, blinded by the colorful kaleidoscope of biodiversity swimming around, and looking up to see the foothills of towering mountains plunging into the bay.

The bungalows reflect a modern French Polynesian design, with handcrafted dark wood

041-ESCAPE-0914.indd 43

furnishings, glass floor panels that stare over the lagoon reef, contemporary technological necessities and regal bathrooms, including colossal bathtubs (often filled with flower petals).

When hunger calls, delight in the four food and beverage outlets on property. The breakfast buffet at Arii Vahine is an idyllic opportunity to sample local delicacies like poisson cru (raw tuna marinated in coconut milk and lime), fresh fruit breads and diverse homemade preserves blended with coconut and pineapple compotes. On Saturday nights, Arii Vahine combines a traditional dinner feast with an authentic extravaganza of fire twirling, booty shaking and coconut pounding. Feast on homemade crepes at the floating Toatea Bar and Creperie, and be sure to stop by in the early evening to watch the baby black-tip reef sharks congregate.

Moorea is easily explored by car or organized tour, allowing visitors to summit interior and peripheral mountains for jawdropping vistas of the land, sea and sky and to discover island intricacies like remote juice stands and roadside fish markets. Though the luxury on this island is not as over-the-top as on Bora Bora, discerning jet-setters will revel in this alternate, and less-known, incarnation of paradise.

A Villain on the Prowl

Jaguar’s new 550-horsepower F-Type R Coupe shows it’s good to be bad

By Howard Walker

In its latest advertisement, Jaguar points out the best movie villains always seem to be played by Brits.

Case in point: the inestimable Sir Anthony Hopkins playing Dr. Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, who admits, “I must confess I’m giving very serious thought … to eating your wife.”

In You Only Live Twice, the icy, kitty-stroking Donald Pleasence as arch-villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld states, “I shall look forward to personally exterminating you, Mr. Bond.”

Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber in Die Hard? Brilliant. “I am going to count to three. There will not be a four,” he warns.

It may not yet be a Hollywood star, but there is something villainous about Jaguar’s newest sports car, the 2015 F-Type R Coupe.

Just see it in the metal, riding on those 20-inch alloys, and it has all the muscular tension and hunkered-down pugilist stance of The Transporter star Jason Statham, another villainous Brit.

This car is much more than an F-Type convertible with a metal lid.

While the F roadster has always looked a little on the bloated side, this new Coupe is a visual masterpiece.

The way the roofline cascades down towards the rear is breathtaking.

POWER FILE PRICE: From $99,895 ENGINE: 5-liter V-8 POWER: 550 hp TORQUE: 502 pound-feet TRANSMISSION: 8-speed automatic 0-60: 4 seconds TOP SPEED: 186 mph LENGTH/WIDTH: 176.0/80.4 inches WEIGHT: 3,671 pounds WHY WE LOVE IT: Because this gorgeous new Jaguar coupe has a villainous yet refined character.

The gorgeous bodywork bulges over the rear wheels. Picture Stallone in his Rocky prime, wearing a Savile Row tuxedo one size too small—that’s the F-Type R Coupe.

In terms of jaw-dropping beauty, this is the first modern-day Jaguar that comes close to the iconic ’60s E-Type Coupe. And that little “R” badge on the rear flank denotes it is the most potent, driver-focused Jaguar of all.

It’s powered by a thundering 5-liter V-8 that cranks out 550 horses.

Pedal to the metal, it can scythe from standstill to 60 mph in four seconds. It has a top speed that’s restricted to 186 mph.

Subtle it is not. With that big V-8 exhaling through a quartet of tail pipes the size of sewer drains, the R Coupe snarls and snaps with

follow howard walker’s the wheel world blog on palmbeachillustrated.com

every prod of the accelerator. Drive it hard and fast, and it can be quite a handful.

Unlike American muscle cars, the Jag can carve curves like it’s running on invisible rails. Tap the “Dynamic” switch on the center console and the F Coupe goes into full attack mode: The steering, dampers, engine, transmission and exhaust all become much more alive, more responsive. Stick vinyl numbers on the doors and you could hit the grid at the Sebring 12-hour with this race car for the road.

It does, in true Jaguar tradition, have a suave, sophisticated side. The

engine has so much torque and low-speed punch that it doesn’t need to rev hard to waft along. And unlike most rivals, its suspension can absorb lumps and bumps without loosening dental work.

Shortcomings are few. The hip-hugging sports seats are so firm, Jaguar might have left out the padding. And Jaguar’s navigation systems continue to run molasses slow.

But at $99,895 the F-Type R Coupe is a performance bargain, especially compared to its Porsche 911 rivals. A British villain might think of it as a steal. «

If you are a daring foodie, chances are you are all about the chef’s table concept, where you enter a restaurant with no preconceived notions and let a chef decide what you’re having for dinner.

If you’re going to trust one chef to dictate the menu, let it be Tim Lipman, the gastro-genius behind Palm Beach Gardens’ Coolinary Cafe. It works like this: You and five friends sit at a long table and nosh on house-made pickles, chips and deviled eggs while Lipman and his crew work their magic.

Five courses later, you will have tasted such creative fare as a before-and-after Scotch egg with house-made chicken sausage (hey, which came first?) or Buffalo-style sweetbreads, poached in buttermilk, lightly fried and glazed with chili.

What we think: Lipman’s fearless cooking style and his singular focus on fresh, real food puts the “cool” in Coolinary.

047_AWARDS_0914.indd 49

Chef/owner Tim Lipman (above) presides over the exhibition kitchen at Coolinary Cafe. He and his team put out the ultimate comfort food—fresh, often locally sourced and heirloom ingredients prepared in an honest, straightforward style that has won the restaurant (and its chef) numerous accolades. Some of the most popular include (counterclockwise from top left) fried chicken and waffles, pan-seared local red snapper with roasted Brussels sprouts and lemon spaetzle, deviled eggs, chargrilled pizza, and peanut butter and jelly bread pudding.

Paul O’Brien, Dennis Creaghan and Erin Joy Schmidt in Fighting Over Beverley

The lights dim. A drumroll thunders. Claves click, click, click. Pianos tune. Performers clear their throats—ahem. The lights rise. What do you see? One evening it’s the Latin styling of Tito Puente Junior. Another, a radio rendition of It’s a Wonderful Life. Visit on a different night and hear a jazz or blues performance, or catch the latest work by a local playwright or an inspiring production by student artists. At Arts Garage in Delray Beach, the possibilities are endless.

Last season, Arts Garage welcomed a myriad of national and international performers and produced new plays like Israel Horovitz’s Fighting Over Beverley and Will Aronson and Daniel Mate’s The Trouble With Doug. Nowhere else in Palm Beach County can you find experimental theater and established musicians under the same roof. Arts Garage also fosters a love of the arts through its all-ages-welcome academy, classes, summer camps and master workshops. With an arts haven this diverse, welcoming and vibrant, it’s no wonder Delray Beach is becoming the hippest hangout in South Florida.

REINVENTION

We’ve got to hand it to The Breakers. The resort never ceases reinventing itself to stay ahead of the style curve. The big story in the past year was the reimagining of Flagler Steakhouse. Already Palm Beach’s top choice for prime beef and seafood, the Flagler now has a crisp, modern edge that perfectly complements the stellar food. And just when we thought the view couldn’t be better, the terrace has been extended and climatized so we can enjoy those long fairway vistas—and our bone-in filet—in comfort.

FRENCH ACCENT

Let us consider the macaron, shall we?

It seems simple enough—egg whites, sugar, a bit of almond flour—yet it is so impossible to get just right. Even restaurants that claim to offer authentic French macarons cannot achieve the elusive crumble-in-your-mouth fluffiness of, say, Ladurée or Chantal Guillon.

Our frustration over finding a magnifique macaron this side of the Seine ended at precisely the moment Patrick Lézé opened in Palm Beach. Lucky for us, the French pâtissier and his wife fell in love with the island during a motorcycle tour—and stayed.

Now we can enjoy his colorful confections (peach apricot, how do we love thee?) anytime. Bonus: They’re perfect when we need a hostess gift in a hurry.

THE PBI AWARDS

Camping in the woods? When the campsite is on the grounds of Pine Creek Sporting Club, the answer is a resounding “Yes, please!”

Imagine waking up to the mournful coo of doves and looking out of your tent at a misty sunrise. Nearby, the fire pit is lit and the scent of coffee brewing tickles your nose. A great day in nature awaits.

Welcome to Camp Fort Drum, the latest offering at Pine Creek Sporting Club in Okeechobee. The camping pavilion consists of two outfitter tents that sleep eight in utter comfort, a cooking area, the aforementioned fire pit, an archery range and a game-viewing tower. This is glamping at its best, folks.

Opening October 1 for members and guests, the camp is nestled within the loblolly pines, oak trees and sable palms and overlooks acres of palmettos. Wildlife, including white-tail deer, Osceola turkeys and quail, roam the grounds, adding to the richness of the experience.

The best part is the educational aspect. During monthly camping excursions, children will learn survival basics and get to know the native ecosystem with master naturalist Jerry Walls. All that, and s’mores too.

CULTURAL FESTIVAL

Since 2007, the Festival of the Arts Boca has been a mecca for classical music, jazz, dance and literature. The Schmidt Family Centre for the Arts at Mizner Park established the event to bring to Boca Raton seasoned performers and writers—like violinist Itzhak Perlman and author Doris Kearns Goodwin—to promote cultural arts in the community. In 2014, the festival had one of its most successful years ever with ticket sales nearly tripling from 2013 and a total attendance of 15,000, the second-largest crowd in its history. The festival offers many reasons to applaud: It engages the community with author discussions and intimate performances; it brings the arts to new audiences via master classes and open rehearsals; and, it imbues Mizner Park with an unparalleled aura of excitement. The 2015 festival is scheduled for March 5-15, so prepare to shout “Bravo!”

There’s more than just java percolating at Subculture Coffee in West Palm Beach. A joint venture of Sean Scott and Rodney Mayo, Subculture arrived on Clematis Street in March and has become an urban gathering place for artisan roasts, lattes bearing works of coffee art, organic teas and even local beer. The coffee beans arrive from direct- and fair-trade farms in areas like Sumatra and the Sierra Madre and are roasted each morning on a large red Diedrich IR-12 on display at the entrance. Passionate baristas are eager to talk about their products, and patrons who want a taste of something more can learn about coffee 101 at one of the shop’s free cupping classes. While Subculture’s ethically minded cup of joe is delicious, its best brew is the sense of belonging it has come to foster—both for visitors and as a thriving, eccentric contributor to the neighborhood.

FARM TO TABLE

Boca’s obsession with clean eating has found its spiritual home.

Gyorgy Papp, Papp Photography LUCIEN CAPEHART PHOTOGRAPHY

It’s a stormy Thursday and Farmer’s Table, that altar to all things fresh and healthy, is packed to the rafters. Not even an apocalyptic downpour can keep Boca Raton’s faithful away.

There’s a good reason for that. The restaurant’s self-styled “feel-good food”—made with whole, recognizable ingredients, many from local farms—is so savory and satisfying, it might not occur to you this is clean eating. But it is, and it’s highly addictive. We can’t get enough of the kale hummus or the Santa Fe veggie burger with zucchini bacon, which will make a believer of the most hard-core carnivore. Even the kids’ menu is healthy (whole wheat mac and cheese! gluten-free chicken fingers!)—now that, sadly, is novel.

In her small Jupiter kitchen, Dianna Muscari has concocted hundreds of delicious meals: searroasted haddock with blood-orange salsa; sparkling guava coolers; amaretto pumpkin pie. Her best dish, though, is a combination of recipes, vivid photography and heartfelt stories—the ingredients for her cheerful blog, The Kitchen Prep.

A self-taught cook, writer and food photographer, the South Florida native reinvents recipes or creates her own from scratch. More than just a virtual cookbook, The Kitchen Prep is also a public journal sprinkled with compelling snippets from Muscari’s life—like how she’s expecting her first child in November, the impetus for her recent “mocktail” experiments. A true DIYer, Muscari uses her Canon to photograph each dish in her “studio”—aka, her living room coffee table, which only adds to The Kitchen Prep’s labor-of-love essence. “My life revolves around food,” Muscari says. “Whether I’m on vacation or making a weeknight meal or thinking about what I want to eat, I’m always thinking about how I can share it on the blog, make it relevant and connect with people.”

HIDDEN GEM

Lake Worth is full of hidden gems: Boutique restaurants, eclectic shops and cooler-than-cool hangouts dot the city’s downtown streets. But the area’s best-kept secret is nestled next to one of its biggest attractions. The Stonzek Theatre, an offshoot of the Lake Worth Playhouse, sits adjacent to its parent organization on Lake Avenue. A hole-in-the-wall black box, The Stonzek opened in 1995 to present an ongoing cinematic installation of indie-art flicks, foreignlanguage films and documentaries. Since then, it has become the home of critically acclaimed yet belowthe-radar cinema and a beloved partner of the Palm Beach International Film Festival. It has also expanded its mission to include live theater as part of the Playhouse’s Black Box Series, which produces works suited for the intimate atmosphere. This year, The Stonzek produced one-act plays by Woody Allen and Amy Herzog’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated 4,000 Miles.

In the coming season, The Stonzek will add a new cabaret series to the mix and continue to present nearly daily film showings on its 70-square-foot screen. Can you say, “Pass the popcorn”?

Coming ATTRACTIONS This month, The Stonzek hosts two events in addition to its reel of art flicks: ● September 12-14 and 19-21: The Black Box Series kicks off the 2014-15 season with Search and Destroy by Howard Korder. ● September 26-28: The Stonzek’s annual L-Dub Film Festival, now in its fifth year, includes film screenings from up-and-coming auteurs as well as creative and industry workshops.

This season, the Black Box Series included Woody Allen's Central Park West (left) and Amy Herzog's 4,000 Miles.

FOOD ARTIST

If making sushi is an art, the Picasso among local chefs is Roy Villacrusis, the experimenter behind the sushi bar at Aah Loi, which Thai Chef Charlie Soo opened last September in Jupiter. Influenced by Japanese culture, self-taught Villacrusis has been developing what he calls “Asiatic cuisine,” an interpretation of traditional dishes presented in a contemporary way. With seating for only 44, Aah Loi treats a handful of diners to inventive and beautiful sushi that might incorporate foie gras, truffles instead of mushrooms or even Italian ingredients. The ambitious among us opt for the omakase tasting menu, in which Villacrusis serves a surprise of whatever he feels like creating for as many courses as desired (the record is 25). He may be a big fish in a small pond, but Palm Beach County, where his culinary journey began, hasn’t stopped inspiring him to grow. “There’s really something about West Palm Beach. … [Here, I can] be as creative as those

Jazz

From the creative mind of renowned archi-

tect Zaha Hadid comes a line of superyachts that look more like spaceships than boats.

Pritzer Prize-winning Hadid has partnered with Hamburg-based Blohm + Voss to design a family of five 295-foot Unique Circle Yachts, all based on a 420-foot master prototype. The first, Jazz, has already been commissioned and is being specified and detailed by naval experts Blohm + Voss.

The yachts look much like Hadid’s ethereal architecture—all glacier white with fluid dynamics—and mimic her architecture in structure as well, with an exoskeleton that connects the various levels and decks of the ship with expressive diagonals. The design evokes the organic structural systems found in natural marine formations.

Inside, stark pod-like furniture (similar to that found in the Hadid-designed Roca London Gallery showroom) fills the captain’s deck.

The five Unique Circle Yachts will be designed to owner preferences. (zaha-hadid.com)

Lunar

By definition, motor sailers tend to offer the worst of all worlds:

They motor like a Hummer on two cylinders and sail even worse.

The Polish-built Conrad 115 motor sailer Lunar may just break that mold.

But first, the Conrad’s looks. Designers Newcruise of Hamburg, Germany have given this all-aluminum, 115-foot, ketch superyacht styling at its finest. That wavelike sheerline, the straight-up bow, the rolling edges to the superstructure, the silver-painted hull … It’s all absolutely gorgeous.

She’s a ketch with twin carbon masts and cutter rig. And there are no grinding winches here; everything is hydraulic.

As for the “motor” part of the motor sailer, she’s powered by a couple of Cat C18Ds, each good for 725 horses. That’s enough to shove along at 14 knots. And with 1,340-gallon tanks brimmed, Lunar should be good for Palm Beach to St. Barths without topping up. Not that you’d need to with all those sails.

Below decks, there’s a choice of four spacious en-suite cabins, while on deck there’s a mini pool to cool off in plus a hydraulic bathing platform for those back dives with a half-twist.

Lunar was commissioned for a Baltic billionaire who intends to sail her to the far corners of the earth, though the folks at Conrad will be happy to replicate her. (conradshipyard.com)

M

There seems to be an economy of lettering in modern-day yacht-naming.

After Russian oligarch Andrey Melnichenko’s A and the Perini Navi Group superyacht P2, now comes M, a bold new composite-hulled 132-footer from the family-owned Istanbul yard Bilgin Yachts.

Reverse bow styling is nothing new; it goes back to pre-World War II warships, though Melnichenko’s submarine-like A arguably brought it back into fashion. Bilgin’s M is the latest superyacht to incorporate this head-turning nautical design cue, which is reckoned to pierce through the waves more smoothly than a conventional bow.

H2 Yacht Design penned the exterior and interior of this $15 million silver bullet. Powered by twin V-16 MTU oil-burners each cranking out a healthy 2,400 horsepower, the 195-ton M will scythe through those waves at 23 knots max and cruise leisurely at 18.

Inside, she’s very much on the SoHo loft-style side, with lots of sleek and sexy Macassar ebony and zebrano timber, plus lashings of leather and designer fabrics. Eight guests can relax very comfortably in a quartet of cabins, with zerospeed stabilizers to calm those Mediterranean swells.

While M was built only in 2012, she has already hit the used boat market. Last time we looked, the sticker on the windshield read $12.6 million. (bilginyacht.com) 86

Prima

Like Toyota’s hybrid, this 131-foot Columbus Prima has two

giant electric motors that allow it to cruise silently and with zero emissions. But if anyone makes a Prius analogy, just whip out the RINA Green Star Plus Award given to Naples, Italy-based yacht builder Palumbo Shipyards by His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco.

The secret of the Columbus Sport 130 Hybrid’s environmental friendliness is its hybrid system of fuel-sipping generators charging up batteries that juice those twin electric motors. As long as you’re content to amble along at 7.5 knots, it’ll likely cruise for eternity—or at least 5,000 nautical miles. Want to go faster? That’s when the big muscle diesels kick in and the knots rise to an impressive 25.

Helping save on diesel is the lightweight aluminum used for Prima’s semi-displacement hull and swoopy superstructure.

She may not be the prettiest yacht in the harbor—the towering sides, bulbous bow and steely-bronze paint created by Hydro Tec Naval Architecture make her look a little industrial. But there’s no doubt her new Russian owner is ecstatic.

Below decks, there’s a quartet of beautifully finished cabins featuring a mix of light fabrics and dark marble. One of the exterior highlights is its massive rear deck that the designers call “The Beach Club.” Prima’s rumored cost is in the region of $30 million. (columbusyachts.it)

Only Now

The winner of Boat International magazines’s coveted World Super-

yacht 2013 award, the gorgeous Only Now may be the perfect-sized luxury yacht. At 111 feet bow to stern, 24 feet wide and just 5.6 feet deep, it’s spacious enough to comfortably accommodate friends and family yet petite enough that you can slip into a sheltered anchorage.

With twin 1,700-horsepower Caterpillar C32s pushing her to an easy 22 knots, the Only Now from Istanbul-based Tansu Yachts has the pace to match her grace.

Turkish yards have long been masters at working with wood, and Only Now takes the technique to the next level with its light yet super-strong wooden and epoxy hull and superstructure. Tansu Yachts worked with the naval architects and engineers at Diana Yacht Design to shape Only Now’s head-turning lines featuring that distinctive, wave-cleaving axe bow and square-edged, slightly militaristic top.

There’s accommodation for as many as six guests divided into three spacious cabins. The centrally located master features a walk-in wardrobe, his and hers en-suite bathrooms and an office. And the ship’s gym is just a short jog away. (rizatansu.com)

Ghost

Dutch master yacht-builder Feadship and De Voogt Naval Architects

created the edgy, radical lines of this 180-foot, all-aluminum rocketship for Holland’s Ghost Yachts. From her knife-like bow to her creased stern and folded-paper style superstructure, Ghost is stark, clean-lined beauty.

Coupling lightweight alloy construction with an advanced hull design featuring a mix of hard chines and round bilge sections, Ghost can slice through the water like a knife through butter. And with her meager seven-foot, four-inch draft, she’ll go into anchorages few other megayachts can reach.

While twin V-12 MTU diesels deliver a combined 6,920 horsepower, these powerplants are smaller than a yacht of this size might normally use.

Yet pedal-to-the-metal, she’ll hit an impressive 29 knots, while 11 knots will give Ghost a transatlantic range of more than 4,000 nautical miles.

Alberto Vismara of the Undicimetriquadri interior design group crafted accommodations for eight in four spacious cabins together with a sprawling master. The decor is said to be on the minimalistic side with lots of brushed aluminum and light veneers.

Right now, Ghost’s design is just that—a design. But with every detail now complete, Ghost Yacht founder Bjorn Moonen hopes to have the ship in build in the very near future. (ghost-yachts.com) «

The restaurant’s roll call of purveyors includes local luminaries such as Swank Specialty Produce in Loxahatchee as well as Pontano and Bedner Farms in Boynton Beach. The decor is eclectic, something between an upscale steak house and a casual sports bar, and the restaurant is open nightly for dinner.

The Cooper’s cuisine includes innovative takes on classics such as ham and cheese a la plancha: Serranowrapped mozzarella with an heirloom tomato emulsion, served on crostini. For the Tuscan panzanella, polenta croutons are substituted for the traditional torn bread.

Pasta is one of the kitchen’s strengths, evidenced by a remarkable bowl of spaghettini with Florida head-on

Taste the Flavor

The Cooper’s crab cake

shrimp, shaved garlic, chili flakes and more of those terrific Walt’s heirlooms.

The restaurant’s beverage program is worth a trip in itself.

Guests may peruse the varied and well-chosen wine list or opt for one of a dozen craft cocktails. The options range from classics such as the Jack Rose and Sazerac to variations on drinks such as the Manhattan (bourbon enhanced with yellow Chartreuse and Punt e Mes) and the Negrito, the restaurant’s version of a Negroni (añejo tequila, Lillet Blanc and Aperol).

Summer Love

October 1 is the last chance to experience the (unfortunately) fleeting taste of Boulud Sud, the delectable summer pop-up that has returned to Café Boulud for a third season. A prominent change to this year’s menu is Executive Chef Rick Mace himself, who joined the resto last August and has introduced eastern Mediterranean and African flavors to the typically Provençal menu. His spice palate, inspired by early travels to places like Turkey due to his father’s military career, is evident in dishes like a crispy, perfectly seasoned spice-rubbed grilled chicken served atop saffron rice pilaf with tzatziki and roasted beets flecked with mint, sumac and lemon— flavors that sing in the late-summer weather and lovely ambiance of the courtyard terrace.

Taste {LOCAL AND UNIQUE}

A Glass of Italy What do Erbaluce, Schiava and Negroamaro have in common? All three are regional Italian wine grapes, are relatively unknown in the United States and are sold at the area’s newest wine shop: Vinoutlet in Palm Beach.

David and Domenica Frankland, who moved to Florida from New York three years ago, opened Vinoutlet in February after lamenting the impossibility of finding their favorite style of wine locally. Their credentials in the wine industry are broad and deep: The couple owns a Sangiovese vineyard, Massoferrato, in Tuscany, while Domenica’s sister operates a wine store in Florence and her brother is an importer and distributor in Manhattan.

“Our customers tend to be a mix of adventurers and people looking for something familiar,” David says. “For the second group, we try to suggest something that will expand their horizons. We lean toward wines that are fresh and straightforward, with less oak and more fruit.”

Roughly two-thirds of the wines are Italian regional specialties, but there’s a healthy smattering of bottles from France, California, Spain and Argentina, not to mention a wellchosen selection of craft beers. Free tastings are held every Friday from 4:30-6:30 p.m., and the Franklands are eager to share their discoveries. (561-410-5370, vinoutlet-pb.com) —M.S.

Wine Talk

In 2009, when the Junior League of Boca Raton was celebrating the tenth anniversary of its cookbook, Savor the Moment: Entertaining Without Reservations, member Stephanie Miskew came up with a savory plan to promote it: Cook all 275 recipes in the James Beard Award-winning book.

A wine lover, she paired dishes with vino and documented her culinary journey on a blog she titled Stephanie Savors the Moment— which has since snowballed into a whole new passion for the former speech pathologist.

Now under the alias The Glamorous Gourmet and The Wine Atelier, Miskew’s blog has become a resource of recipes, wine reviews and travel articles along with an online store of wines Miskew has personally sampled and recommends. She also offers a monthly wine club, is a contributing writer for Fox News, hosts private events and is launching classes and a video series this fall.

Now, wine is “my passion. It’s what I absolutely love to do in life,” she says.

Her favorite local wine spot: “I love the Grove in downtown Delray Beach. The wine list is beautiful. The prices aren’t too crazy, either.”

A wine she recommends for September in South Florida: Rosé. “Everyone thinks of it as a summer wine, but let’s face it: September in South Florida is pretty much like summer.

Rosé walks that line between white and red.

It’s such a great choice for [this] time of year.”

Pair it with: Salad niçoise. “That’s about as perfect as it gets, I think.”

Lillet Rouge makes a colorful aperitif. The Vesper (right) was James Bond’s choice.

French Classic

Favored by Agent 007 in his favorite cocktail, Lillet makes a versatile sip for all seasons

By Mark SPivak

The Wolff posters were featured in the company’s advertising campaign of the 1920s.

There may be no better drink on a hot September afternoon than a chilled, bracing aperitif.

The best among them are crisp, low in alcohol (roughly equivalent to table wine) and high in acidity—we’re talking the type of libation that sharpens the appetite and leaves you with the desire for another sip. Bitters are a natural with the Italians, while vermouth is a charm for the British, but few aperitifs have the universal appeal of France’s Lillet.

Brothers Paul and Raymond Lillet first concocted the libation in 1872 in the town of Podensac, south of Bordeaux. They infused white Bordeaux wine with citrus liqueur and quinine to make a golden potion with a pleasantly bitter bite that was then matured in oak casks. Originally, all Lillet was white; a red version was added in the 1960s, primarily geared to the U.S. market.

The real vogue of Lillet dates to the 1920s, when the company launched a major advertising campaign featuring the colorful, now classic posters by French artist Robert Wolff.

The drink spread to the United Kingdom, where it was featured in magazine ads with legendary mixologist Harry Craddock, and eventually the drink caught on in America.

The classic serving method was either straight from a chilled bottle or on the rocks, both accompanied by a twist or slice of orange.

Lillet underwent an evolution over the years. The original product was known as Kina Lillet, because the formula included extracted bark from the South American cinchona tree—or “kina-kina.” It was reformulated in 1987 with assistance from experts at the University of Bordeaux, who advocated removing the quinine for mass appeal. Lillet Dry was introduced in 1945, designed to mix with gin in cocktails. In addition to the red (which was revamped in 1990), there is now a rosé as well as a reserve version that receives extra oak aging.

The most famous reference to Lillet in pop culture occurs in Ian Fleming’s 1953 novel and 2006 film Casino Royale, when James Bond orders the drink that became the Vesper Martini: “Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet: shaken, not stirred.”

Cocktail historians now believe that Bond was really referring to Lillet Dry, but the Vesper has become a classic.

Close behind is the Corpse Reviver #2, first mentioned in Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930. This nifty hangover remedy also contains gin, lemon juice, Cointreau and a dash of absinthe—once again, shaken.

Among the more interesting cocktail recipes on the company’s website are the Lillet Hugo (Lillet Blanc, el-

Paul (left) and Raymond (right) Lillet created their eponymous aperitif in 1872.

derflower liqueur, sparkling water and a slice of lime), the Blushing Manhattan (Lillet Rosé, whiskey, gomme syrup and grapefruit bitters) and Lillet Sangría (Lillet Rouge, Crème de Framboise, pink grapefruit juice and lemonade). More intriguing still are the recipes that incorporate Lillet as an ingredient or preparations that pair well with a glass of the aperitif. One calls for poaching nine large, ripe white peaches in an entire bottle of Lillet Blanc spiked with cloves, verbena leaves and peppercorns. Better yet, steam fresh scallops in a combination of fish fumet, Lillet Blanc, shallots and chervil leaves.

For the ultimate hedonistic pairing, purchase a jar of onion jam and the most authentic baguette you can find.

Slice the bread thin, spread on the jam, top with shavings of duck foie gras and a pinch of sea salt, then enjoy with a chilled glass of Lillet. You’ll be glad you did. «

Lillet cocktails include the Fraternité (right) and the Liberté (below).

An organic color palette of whites, beiges and seaglass greens and blues reflects the surf and sand below, while the mother-ofpearl inlaid shell detail in the flooring ups the ante with a touch of shimmer.

Custom details abound, including Lucite and glass coffee tables, a hair hide mosaic carpet, and exotic wood moldings and millwork. The most visually stunning element is the zebrawood cabinetry, which adds texture, warmth and a nod to the movement of the sea.

A PGA National Professional A top agent in the exclusive PGA National, Laurie Nugent is the area’s go-to real estate specialist.

by Nila Do Simon

PROMOTION

One client summed it up perfectly: “Laurie, you change lives.”

As Realtor Laurie Nugent helped Margarete Warnock transition to a meaningful and independent life as a widow, Laurie found her the perfect home in PGA National. After closing the home, Laurie received a letter from the client, whose heartfelt words exactly described why Laurie became a real estate professional. As Laurie opened the letter, she received chills when reading the line, “Laurie, you change lives.”

Laurie has been changing lives since becoming a licensed real estate agent in 1982. The native Palm Beacher with real estate roots that go back two generations has no doubt made her family proud with her tenacious work on behalf of her clients. An integral member of the Waterfront Properties and Club Communities team since 2002, Laurie focuses on PGA National properties, and has become the renowned golf communities’ goto Realtor.

Set against a lush landscape filled with indigenous Florida species, PGA National’s pièce de résistance includes five professional golf courses for the discerning golfer. The 46 distinct neighborhoods that the community offers are easily explained by Laurie, whose love of the area is evident with every client with whom she speaks. “We are very focused on nature and the environment, and that’s why I think I love PGA National,” she says. “Blue Herons are flying everywhere, and the land is really a nature lover’s paradise.”

As part of luxury real estate company Waterfront Properties and Club Communities’ team, Laurie is among an elite group of professionals. Using its state-of-the-art marketing and Web-based presence, Laurie connects with a wide range of buyers both around the globe as well as locally. She has utilized a unique and important Waterfront Properties’ asset – its London-based office – to further market her listings, giving them not only local visibility, but also a worldwide one.

find them that perfect home, but also sell their town home. The real estate attorney just didn’t want anyone doing the job; he wanted the right person.

And he found that person in Laurie.

The Zolotorofes were first impressed with Laurie’s quick-moving skills and actions. David told Laurie he wanted to find a home and sell his current one within 30 days. After listing their town home the day after they met (complete with professional photographs), offers were immediately coming in. “Laurie gave me a few pointers on what to do to make it look better, and we conducted a few open houses,” David says. “She found me several qualified buyers who we were very happy with.”

Simultaneously, Laurie got the Zolotorofes access to the PGA National homes in the Marlwood Estates community for their home purchase.

After finding their dream home – a foreclosed property – they began the negotiation process, which David admits was tedious and difficult. But through it all, Laurie was there to help the family and offer advice, assistance that the real estate attorney and his wife appreciated. They closed on the home and moved in September 2013.

“Laurie was excellent,” David comments. “She was great on both ends of the transaction and very professional. Most important was that she was very accessible. We must have had a hundred phone calls with each other, and she was there with us every step of the way.”

For Jacki Breen, listing her home with Laurie was a decision that made perfect sense.

“She knows the market better than we knew it. Laurie knows her business, and she takes it very seriously,” Jackie says. “She was very impressive and gave advice on what price we should ask for our home.”

But Laurie doesn’t always look that far to connect buyers or sellers with a potential home deal. When the client goals match up properly, Laurie knows she can make a simple phone call to any of her fellow Waterfront Properties team members, whose clients are often looking to either buy or sell their homes, oftentimes even selling a home before it is listed.

“Laurie has such knowledge about PGA National, and she knows everybody and every house here,” says Marlies Hulsker, a client whose home Laurie recently sold.

Marlies and her husband were looking to relocate and needed to sell their beloved 5,000-square-foot home with five bedrooms and five-anda-half bathrooms that overlooked the peaceful preserve at PGA National.

They listed with Laurie in Dec. 2012, and four months later the home was under contract.

“We were so lucky to sell our house in four months, and I am sure that her knowledge and her down-to-earth personality helped out,” Marlies says about Laurie. “She doesn’t give you false hope about a potential offer, and she is very honest. She always gave us feedback, which is very important as a seller.”

When David Zolotorofe and his wife, Jill, wanted to move into a more spacious home in PGA National, they needed an agent that could not only

The result? The home was sold it in six weeks.

“She listed it for more than we would have put it for, and it sold. Laurie brings the right buyers around,” Jackie emphasizes. “Her reputation preceded her, and she works hard for her clients.

When Marilyn O’Neill and her husband, Bob, were looking to sell their PGA National home in the Island neighborhood, they knew listing with Laurie was the right decision. After seeing Laurie at various open houses in the community and realizing how strong her marketing capabilities were, they decided to work with her. Immediately they were impressed with her knowledge and skills. For example, Laurie’s suggestion to use a professional photographer to capture the home’s beauty made a huge difference when marketing the home.

“These photos were on the brochures and Internet, and while some Realtors might just take out their regular, everyday cameras, Laurie knew there was a huge difference between a professional photograph and an amateur one,” Marilyn says.

Beyond her foresight to use a professional photographer, the O’Neills found Laurie highly responsive to all their questions and very responsible.

“Laurie works tirelessly to sell a home,” Marilyn says.

“We really do love her to death. She eats and sleeps real estate.”

Want to reap the benefits of growing your own food but don’t have the time or space to start a farm? Then take part in community-supported agriculture. The United States Department of Agriculture describes the practice as “a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation … with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production.” While some CSAs require a time commitment from its shareholders, most simply ask for an annual fee to cover farming costs. In return, members receive locally sourced, sustainable produce on a regular basis. Turn the page to learn about Kai-Kai Farm, a community-supported agriculture farm based in Indiantown.

Kai-Kai Farm has been operating on a community-supported agriculture model since opening in early 2008. Co-owner Carl Frost explains the model allows Kai-Kai to be a local vegetable resource and offer diverse crops. “Our customers comment that they enjoy fresh-harvested vegetables because they have better flavor and texture compared to grocery store counterparts [that come] from who knows where,” Frost says. At Kai-Kai Farm, the season runs from October through May, with limited vegetation available during the summer months. We spoke with Frost about the environmental and health benefits of community-supported agriculture as well as the basics of the practice. (772-597-1717, kaikaifarm.com) What do you feel is the greatest environmental benefit of a CSA? It reduces food miles and uses the local land resource in the highest and best-use manner.

What do you see as the greatest personal health benefit?

Locally harvested vegetables are really fresh, super tasty, nutritious and have better shelf lives.

How is the produce distributed to members?

CSA boxes (a small box has up to 10 vegetables and a large box up to 15) may be delivered to a limited area from Northlake Boulevard up to Jensen Beach. We distribute boxes at green markets [including those in] Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach and Stuart. We also distribute boxes at Francesca’s Terra Verde Farm Club and Fresh Harvest Market.

What produce is available at Kai-Kai Farm during the summer months?

The selection is narrower, for sure, but we keep growing vegetables that tolerate bugs, heat and rain: okra, squash, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, blackeyed peas, mustard, minikale, to name some.

To learn more about the practices at Kai-Kai Farm, visit palmbeachillustrated.com/kaikaifarm

Check Yourself September is National Preparedness Month, so now is the time to prepare your family for any natural or medical emergencies that might come your way. Ready, a national public service focused on helping Americans respond to emergencies, recommends stocking disaster kits with items such as a three-day supply of water and nonperishable food, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio, a flashlight, a first-aid kit, a local map, a manual can opener, and a power inverter or solar-powered chargers.

(App for thAT!) Adhering to a diet can be difficult.

The ShopWell app takes the stress and guesswork out of deciding what foods match your diet or nutrition needs. Designed by registered dietitians, the app scores foods based on your health and will suggest a substitution if a certain product fails to make the grade. Simply use the in-app barcode scanner at home or in the grocery store to find out if a food fits your regimen. You can also review nutrition information and discover if items contain allergens like gluten and lactose or undesirable ingredients like added sugar and trans fat. (shopwell.com)

Spas are an oasis of feel-good euphoria, and few people are in need of such bliss more than cancer patients. With this in mind and finding a void in the market, Melanie Jeanteur opened Spa Care Center Oncology Spa in Boca Raton. The spa focuses on comforting and pampering patients undergoing radiation and chemotherapy as well as cancer survivors. Services include manicures, pedicures, massages and organic spray tans—all designed around patient restrictions and needs—as well as more specialized offerings like oncology skin treatments and permanent make-up tattoos that address the skin-deep effects of chemo and radiation.

Rock Out

Raw Lunchbox

It’s September, so back to school is on the brain for both kids and parents. Packing healthy lunches can be a challenge regardless of dietary restrictions, but a raw diet actually lends itself well to lunchtime. Start with the sides, which can be anything from organic baby carrots to dehydrated kale chips. For the drink, stop by Raw Juce in Boca Raton, which coldpresses juices daily with varieties such as Berry Peary Chia, Un-Beet-Able and Carrot Cake, all with a 72-hour shelf life. For the main course, we suggest this mock tuna salad recipe that will please even the pickiest eaters.

Ingredients • 2 cups sunflower seeds, soaked overnight and rinsed • 1 tbsp. dulse flakes • 1 tbsp. kelp flakes • Pink sea salt to taste • Juice from one or more lemons (depending on tart preferences)

Method Pulse all ingredients in food processor until it reaches a chunky consistency akin to tuna salad.

Serve in romaine lettuce leaves.

Dear musicians: Have we found the exercise routine for you. Rock out to popular tunes and tone your body with Pound, a high-intensity workout that combines the frenetic essence of drumming with the principles of resistance-method fitness. Developed by two California percussionists and fitness fiends, Pound uses lightly weighted exercise drumsticks called Ripstix to simulate drumming. Participants drum along to rhythmic songs, thereby fusing cardio, conditioning moves and core work to achieve a resistance-based workout that burns at least 400 calories an hour. In Palm Beach Gardens, Edge Fitness offers Pound classes in a beginner-friendly atmosphere so novice and experienced drummers alike can get the chance to pound.

morning glow It’s time to wake up, smell the coffee and rub it all over your body. Frank coffee scrub, a dry body scrub made from roasted and ground robusta coffee beans, harnesses the power of caffeine and other natural ingredients to target cellulite, stretch marks, eczema and acne. Caffeine has become a common ingredient in skin care products, as it has been shown to soothe inflammation and redness as well as stimulate blood flow and circulation, resulting in a reduced appearance of cellulite. Frank comes in three varieties—original, coconut and grape seed, and cacao—and is 100 percent vegan and not tested on animals. We’ll drink to that!

he permanent collection of fine art at Rosenbaum Contemporary in Boca Raton is home to many paintings, sculptures and photographs by post-war, modern and contemporary artists including Robert Cottingham, Pablo Picasso and Raphael Mazzuco (shown). Known for his provocative photographs that have graced the pages of Sports Illustrated, Vogue and Vanity Fair, Mazzuco combines his passion for photography with his love of painting. The artist begins with a photograph, then builds lush geographical backdrops, often containing fairy-like women juxtaposed with hard animalistic elements. Mazzuco’s art has been displayed at exhibits around the world and is available to view year-round at Rosenbaum Contemporary. (561-994-9180, rosenbaumcontemporary.com) —Jessica Bielak

What’s Buzzin’?

Did you know honeybees operate within a caste system composed of worker bees, drone bees and the one-and-only queen bee?

Each year, nearly 80,000 female worker bees are responsible for building a hive and collecting close to 66 pounds of pollen. The life of a drone bee is far bleaker, as it is stingless and defenseless and mates with only new queen bees to produce future colonies. The sole purpose of the queen bee is to lay eggs to create the next generation of honeybees. Want to learn more about the secret life of bees? Attend the Beekeeping 101 seminar at the Mounts Botanical Garden on September 7. Speaker Al Salopek, president of the Palm Beach County Beekeepers Association, will share basic bee knowledge and teach attendees how to start a backyard beehive.
