Get to know Santa Barbara's newest kids on the block.

Renowned contemporary artist CASSANDRIA BLACKMORE has made Coast Village Road in Montecito the new home to her eponymous gallery. Blackmore's work, created by shattering and reassembling reverse paintings on glass, has been exhibited and collected internationally and is in the permanent collections of multiple museums and large scale public art installations and notable private collections around the world. 1275 Coast Village Road, 805.895.2447, cassandriablackmore.com Beloved Solvang eatery Chomp has expanded beyond the Valley to the Santa Barbara Harbor, along with another dining concept by owner Aaron Petersen, SALTY AT THE BEACH. The retro dinerinspired CHOMP ON THE ROCKS has settled into the space formerly occupied by Chuck's Waterfront Grill and upstairs, where Endless Summer Bar-CafĂŠ once called home, you'll find Salty at the Beach. With all-new interiors and roomy outdoor patio dining, both establishments are dog-friendly, offer great food at a reasonable price, and serve up sweeping ocean, harbor and mountain views. Head to pages 38-39 for a feature spread about these exciting new restaurants.

113 Harbor Way, chompontherocks.com, saltyatthebeach.com For elevated pub fare with a focus on flatbreads, head to the new Mesa neighborhood taproom CORNER TAP. Here you'll find a satisfying selection of local craft beer and wine served up in a friendly, casual setting.

The recent opening of MCCLAIN CELLARS in Buellton gave us another great reason to head over the pass to the Santa Ynez Valley.

This second location comes on the heels of a well-established Laguna Beach location. OC OG devotees of the label routinely drive from SoCal to the Valley, not only for the acclaimed vintages but also for the fun factor. The tasting room interior is sleek, comfortable, and adorned with the art that graces the brand's bottles. And there's an outdoor playground for grown-ups populated with picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, shade umbrellas, and games. For a full feature about McClain Cellars, head to pages 48-49. 140 Industrial Way, Unit E, Buellton, 805.426.4441, mcclaincellars.com Award-winning chef Cat Cora, visionary Chris Chiarappa, and manager Pixie Saavedra have added a third MESA BURGER location to their local franchise - this time in Montecito. The new site offers the same handcrafted gourmet burgers, farm-fresh salads, local brews and wines, shakes, and ice cream cookie sandwiches that area locals have come to love. And for the non-red meat-eaters in the crowd, there's a tasty selection of turkey, chicken, fish, vegan and vegetarian burgers. 1209 Coast Village Road, 805.565.0642, mesaburger.com Events by Rincon recently pivoted from full-production events in their Santa Claus Lane garden venue, Rincon Beach Club, to RINCON BEACH BAR, an outdoor dining restaurant. Their most popular catered dishes have been adapted into small plates, shared meals, brunch items, and sweet treats. Guests can relax and indulge craft cocktails and local beer and wine in a safe outdoor setting with mindful social distancing. eventsbyrincon.com. 3805 Santa Claus Lane, Carpinteria, 805.566.9933

SANTA BARBARA'S PREMIER OUTDOOR SHOPPING CENTER IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN.

The details thoughtfully curated by Paseo Nuevo’s design team continue with the mix of landscaping across the property. The original jacaranda trees are complimented with new mature olive trees that were individually selected to establish a maturity and long-standing presence for those who enter the center.

F

OR 30 YEARS, Paseo Nuevo has been an anchor in downtown Santa Barbara, inviting locals and visitors alike to enjoy the outdoor paseos, beautiful Spanish architecture, and premier shopping in the heart of downtown. In this time, shopping has evolved along with the expectation for cultural, lifestyle, retail, and culinary experiences. In celebration of its 30th anniversary and the changes seen in the retail world, Paseo Nuevo recently executed a $20 million renovation funded by its owners, Pacific Retail Capital Partners. Renovations included nearly $6 million dollars in infrastructure improvements – like stormwater management, new electrical and irrigation. The remaining funds were invested in a stunning refresh of the property that included artisanal touches like handmade lighting and tiles, the selection of mature landscaping, a bocce court, roaring fire pit, public art installations and more.

Throughout the various paseos, the custom Moroccan light fixtures – from lamps to lanterns to chandeliers - add ambience and provide a textural experience. At night, swaths of light and playful patterns layer the brick pathways. A firepit is adorned with custom-

tile benches offering physically distanced seating to allow for outside gathering.

The details thoughtfully curated by Paseo Nuevo’s design team continue with the mix of landscaping across the property. The original jacaranda trees are complimented with new mature olive trees that were individually selected to establish a maturity and long-standing presence for those who enter the center. Hand painted tiles were meticulously designed and fabricated by southern California artists. These tiles adorn steps, walls, and border some of the Spanish inspired architecture. There are also over 30 colorful tile rugs throughout, that bring a vibrance to the walkways.

And, you can’t miss the exciting new public art installation in the lower north court entrance. Love Letters, a tile mural inspired by Santa Barbara’s heritage and designed by Ojai-based artist Cassandra C. Jones, boasts 36 unique compositions that are repeated across two large walls, totaling over 500 square feet. Each tile has its own vibrant work of art with a series of separate, smaller images collaged together to create a larger pattern. Like a picture puzzle, look closely to find Spanish guitars, fans of flamenco dancers, surfboards, pinwheels and more... all which make up larger shapes and designs.

When you visit the mix of local and national retailers and restaurateurs who line the walkways of Paseo Nuevo, celebrate the 30th anniversary and look forward to the many exciting things to come in the next 30+ years!

APERITIVO: Known to the

Italians as aperitivo, happy hour at Tre Lune is Montecito’s newest best kept secret. From 3-5 p.m. weekdays, Tre Lune offers libations in addition to dishes such as tender, flavorful polpette piccolo (meatballs), light, delicious fiori di zoccolina (fried zucchini blossoms) and classic pizza such as the Napoli, with prosciutto, arugula and burrata.

SIGNATURE HOUSE WINES: In addition to Tre Lune’s

extensive wine list, the restaurant is featuring some incredible house wines including brand new signature wines from local winemaker Doug Margerum. Look out for the Pinot Grigio and rosé, both vintage 2019 and bottled under the Tre Lune label, starting in September.

NEW MENU ITEMS: Just

in time for summer, the 17 year-old restaurant has recently added a few new dishes including the simple, classic Roman cacio e pepe and the Maria Lasagna, a special twist on the traditional Italian dish made from a recipe by owner Gene Montesano’s own sister.

Owner Gene Montesano and general manager Leslee Garafalo

THE ITALIAN RIVIERA IN MONTECITO

We may not be able to travel to Italy, but Tre Lune in Montecito is a close second for anyone craving the flavor and ambiance of the Italian Riviera. Chic, yet warm and inviting, Tre Lune is Santa Barbara County’s most beloved Italian restaurant.

AL FRESCO DINING: As if it could possibly be more inviting, Tre Lune has turned its parking lot into a charming dining enclave with a privacy-enhancing barrier of lush planter boxes, twinkle lights, music, umbrellas, heaters and socially distanced tables adorned with blush linen tablecloths and potted herbs.

Often offering Chef Wayne Van Steen curated specials on a whim. All served in a casual & friendly atmosphere, on the Santa Barbara Mesa.

NEW DÉCOR:

Once interior dining returns, Intermezzo will welcome guests with a modernized interior designed by Diane Garmendia, showcasing wood floors, a new exhibition kitchen, a new color palette and soft light streaming in through tall bay windows.

CUISINE YOU LOVE: Executive

Chef Josh Brown is an ingredients fanatic who creates sophisticated, modern, elegant dishes characterizing local farm freshness with Mediterranean flare.

It's approachable and delicious food.

PIZZA IN THE HOUSE: Brown,

a passionate bread baker, is taking Intermezzo’s beloved flatbreads to a new level. Thanks to his extensive fermentation and rising process, the dough requires 72 hours to become a pizza at your table.

Light? Chewy?

Cravable? Oh, yeah.

DRINK IT IN:

INTERMEZZO: RESURRECTING A CLASSIC Over the years, Intermezzo has gained a loyal following as the casual front-room sibling of the iconic Wine Cask restaurant. Now, new owner John O’Neill is honoring both properties’ storied pasts while bringing them boldly into the moment.

MUCH MORE THAN A “PARKLET”: Currently, Intermezzo occupies both the beautiful and secluded Mediterranean courtyard between the two restaurants as well as the front arcade on Anacapa Street, offering intimate surroundings and a firm commitment to safe socially distanced dining.

As always, signature craft cocktails and Wine Cask’s entire multi-award-winning wine list are available, including a new red blend bottled under the Intermezzo label, from famed local winemaker Doug Margerum.

PROPER LOCAL CHILLERS: Nothing’s better

with a burger than crisp Mesa fries and an ice-cold craft beer on draft. Mesa locations stock eight to ten selections, all brewed in Santa Barbara, Ventura or San Luis Obispo counties.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy: All three locations have big patios for socially distanced dining, as well as ever-popular to-go service.

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Mesa Burger starts

with prime local ingredients and then stacks them onto a delicious brioche bun. Most popular are the classic Mesa and the glitzy Montecito, the latter with glazed mushrooms, an onion ring, arugula, grilled onions, goat cheese and truffle aioli.

Pixie Saavedra, Cat Cora and Chris Chiarappa

MESA BURGER: NOTHING “AVERAGE” ABOUT IT

When local celebrity chef Cat Cora — who has broken many glass ceilings, including as the first female “Iron Chef” — and her partner, Chris Chiarappa, decided to open Mesa Burger, Cora wanted “big, juicy burgers that are not your average burger.” The successful result is evident at the three locations — the original on the Mesa, and in Montecito and Goleta.

MAKE MINE NOT MEAT: For those eschewing red meat, Mesa always has vegan options (and a separate dedicated fryer for vegan and gluten-free cooking) and a fresh-fish sandwich featuring whatever’s best daily from the Santa Barbara Seafood Market.

MATHIS’S FAVORITE: the 24-ounce Tomahawk bone-in ribeye steak, with a Santa Barbara red wine alongside.

UNDERSTATED UPGRADE: When Jackie

Mathis purchased The Chase five years ago, he focused on highquality ingredients and brought back homemade desserts, like tiramisù and crème brûlée, while adding butter pecan cheesecake, a specialty of his wife, Jayme.

NO-TREND WATCH:

Loyal customers really don’t like change, which is why cioppino, spinach-and-veal ravioli, eggplant parmigiana, and spaghetti marinara are always available.

VEGAN VARIETY: It

may be slightly counterintuitive, but The Chase has great vegan dishes, like the lasagna that won a local vegan cook-off. They also serve vegan chicken piccata, fettucine alfredo, and a stuffed bell pepper — great with a glass of vegan-friendly Lafond white wine.

Warren Butler, general manager and owner Jackie Mathis, a retired Air Force Colonel

THE CHASE: FOUR DECADES OF NEW YORK-STYLE ITALIAN

Ten years is a good run for a restaurant in Santa Barbara. At 42, The Chase is the bristlecone pine tree of local dining rooms. And five years into new ownership, its classic New York–style Italian is fresher and better than ever.

AN INTERIOR FOR THE AGES: Deep red button pleated booths, white tablecloths, twinkling lights and a classic bar make this one of the coziest places in Santa Barbara. Outside the new covid–safe European-style patio adds another dimension on warm summer nights.

chef Tony Arroyo oversees kitchens that cook with care, whether it’s tamales (Wednesday or by special order for events), fluffy Mexican rice made in small batches so it’s always fresh, the entrées, the horchata or the killer salsas, from mild to intense!

DRINKS TO GO: The

California ABC has loosened regulations during the pandemic, so customers in Montecito and Goleta, which have full bars, can order something like the superpopular spicy-sweet Havana margarita “to go.”

LOS ARROYOS: FOR THE GREAT TASTE OF THE “OLD NORMAL”

These days, we’re all craving what’s comfortable, familiar, normal.

The three family-owned Los Arroyos restaurants — the original downtown and its two siblings in Montecito and Goleta — serve up authentic Mexican comfort food that customers know and love, especially these days, served either to go or to eat within the socially distanced outdoor parklet dining space.

RELIABLY REAL: Familiar favorites include rajas con quesos (tacos filled with pasilla chilies and Monterey jack and queso fresco), burritos, fresh-fish-and-shrimp Arroyo enchiladas, tacos gobernador (pasilla chilies with Oaxacan cheese, and grilled shrimp and onions in a homemade corn tortilla) and many more.

CHOMP BURGERS | FRIES | SHAKES

A Solvang favorite opens two new restaurants in the SB harbor A little over seven years ago, CHOMP Burgers, Fries, Shakes opened in Solvang, serving great casual diner fare that quickly made it a local family favorite. Now, owner Aaron Petersen has brought that same approach to the historic Navy Reserve Building on the Santa Barbara Harbor, which houses the Maritime Museum.

Downstairs, in what was formerly Chuck’s Waterfront Grill, CHOMP on the ROCKS echoes the original retro diner style of CHOMP in Solvang, with stainless steel, black and white tiles, banquettes and stools. The menu features CHOMP diner favorites, plus salads, fish tacos, fish ‘n’ chips, mac ‘n’ cheese, with prices ranging from $12 to about $17, plus wine, craft beers and a full bar. Coming soon will be a coffee cart on the front patio, with pastries from Mortensen’s Danish Bakery in Solvang, which Petersen also owns.

Look for Saturday and Sunday brunch to start in spring 2021.

Upstairs, the Endless Summer Bar-Café has been reborn as SALTY at the BEACH, which offers more of a bar atmosphere.

Petersen describes the new décor as leaning more toward Jimmy

Buffett than to Endless Summer. The room is now lighter and brighter, but still has the same great views, the same dark-wood bar, and serves the same Mai Tai that was an Endless Summer classic. Seven flat-screen TVs make it the perfect perch for watching sports while enjoying food and drinks. Bar snacks like wings and popcorn shrimp will be mainstays, but guests can also order full meals, such as a flatiron steak, pork chops, pastas and harbor-fresh seafood, with prices from $12 to about $23.

Both CHOMP on the ROCKS and SALTY at the BEACH have plenty of covid-compliant seating, especially on the big decks upstairs and down. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free menu items are offered at both.

Given the Jimmy Buffett vibe at SALTY at the BEACH, and with his duties now divided between Solvang and Santa Barbara, Petersen decided to purchase a floating “apartment” here, in the form of a 40-foot trawler that is docked in the harbor. It keeps him close to his restaurants and to his customers, and that’s how he likes it.

Both restaurants have large kids’ menus, dog-friendly patios and will be open from 11:30-8, until 9 on weekends.

FALL/WINTER 2020

AS HIS DESTINATION this year was Umbria, often referred to as “the green heart of Italy,” his daily walks - up to 18 miles over rolling hills and through dense forests and vineyards held the promise of diamonds from the dirt: black truffles.

IN THE FAMOUS truffle town of

Norcia, located high in the Apennine mountains, he found plenty. Back in Santa Barbara, Toma executive chef Nat Ely has created a signature dish that celebrates them: house-made gnocchi with black-truffle butter, dried tomatoes and fava beans. It’s the next best thing to a country walk through Italy.

TOMA: INSPIRATION FROM ITALY COMES TO THE AMERICAN RIVIERA Last year, as he does every year, Toma Restaurant-Bar proprietor Tom Dolan traveled to Italy. Once there, he spent long days roaming the countryside, navigating ancient hill towns and finding inspiration for his lovely Santa Barbara restaurant in the local food, people, scenery and wine.

“OF COURSE, you’ll need wine,” Tom notes, “and those flavors pair wonderfully with one of my favorite wines of Umbria, Rosso di Montefalco, made from one-hundred percent sangiovese grapes.” Maybe it’s time to revisit Toma and take a little trip to Umbria.

Given Santa Barbara’s proximity to the Santa Ynez Valley and the Santa Maria Valley, two of the best wine regions in the US, it’s no wonder that a variety of wineries and tasting rooms now populate hot downtown spots, the perennially poppin’ Funk Zone, and other bustling nearby neighborhoods. And thanks to the Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail, navigating the wealth of options has never been easier.

Trail. The goal was to offer everyone - from oenophiles on serious tasting missions to novices simply looking for a day of fun - the opportunity to learn about and taste the wide range of varietals and styles crafted from the county’s best vineyards.

the trail is currently comprised of 33 wineries and tasting rooms sprinkled throughout several districts, each with a distinct personality and vibe: the iconic Funk Zone, the historic Presidio Neighborhood, the Haley Corridor, and to the north in the “Goodland” of Goleta, and to the south in upscale Montecito, and laid-back Summerland. Explore the Trail on foot, hop on a shuttle, cruise it by bike, or catch a ride-share.

Along the way, be sure to stop and sample the eclectic assortment of restaurants, breweries, cocktail joints, art galleries, coffee bars, retail shops, and even a distillery.

MCCLAIN CELLARS: 5 STAR LUXURY WINE TASTING BLENDS INTO BUELLTON McClain Cellars, which built its first tasting room in Laguna Beach in early 2019, has opened a new location in Buellton, near Solvang. Perfect for these days of social distancing, the new outlet includes a 5,000-square-foot “outdoor adult playground,” with sofas, cornhole, and other amusements — including McClain’s killer artisan vegan popcorn — to go with exquisite blended wines.

Proprietors Jason and Sofia McClain

Proprietor and master blender Jason McClain rode the initial dotcom wave. He got rich quick, lost it all, learned some hard lessons, recovered and went on to build and sell fourteen companies during his years as a tech entrepreneur.

A few years ago, he walked away from a lucrative second career as a motivational speaker to make wine, a passion he and his wife, Sofia, had developed during deep-dive wine-tasting getaways around California.

When they decided to open McClain Cellars, they chose the Santa Ynez Valley. “Because the valley gets so hot in the day and so cold at night, you get richer, juicier grapes that release more flavor and tannins than you can get in almost any other California locale,” Jason says.

In blending, McClain likes to add an unexpected grape to a famous varietal to make “a wine you can’t get anywhere else.”

He identifies with wine lovers who go tasting “hoping to find the hidden gem,” and he wants to provide those gems, along with what he describes as “a significant emotional experience. The winery is not just about the wine. It’s about behind what’s behind the bottle.”

Look at any bottle of McClain wine, and you’ll see what he’s talking about. “F4” appears on each one, a reminder of what matters most to him: faith, family, friends and freedom. Each blend also has its own name reflecting a significant event in McClain’s life, and a label made from a commissioned painting that reflects it. The summer blend of Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Loureiro is called “Summer Breeze,” after the Isley Brothers song that was playing the first time he fell in love. “Sacred Love” Cabernet Sauvignon honors Sofia.

“Hope and Faith” Petite Sirah recalls what it took to get up again after failing early in his career.

“Life Saver,” a wholly unusual blend of seventyfive percent Tempranillo and twenty-five percent Petite Sirah is indicative of McClain’s approach.

“Nobody ever puts those together,” he says, “but it changes your palate, so that we’re not just comparing Tempranillo to Tempranillo. It’s Tempranillo with whatever makes it taste great.”

With multiple 90+ scores from the first few vintages, the proof of his approach is in the bottle.

And with a limited production of three thousand cases, you’ll need to get to the tasting room or join the wine club to score.

LOCAL STYLE

BAXTER MOERMAN STUDIO & SHOWROOM

Each exquisite piece populating the cases of the downtown SLO fine jewelry store, Baxter Moerman, is designed and handmade by cofounders, Matthew Baxter and Matthew Moerman, alongside their in-house goldsmith, Tony. Since its founding in 2009, artisanal craftsmanship has defined the brand’s aesthetic. A variety of fanciful gemstones drive design decisions, while striking a perfect balance between form and function, with stunning results.

The casually sophisticated, gallery-like storefront has a modern, yet organic vibe. Abundant natural light, a warm walnut wood interior, and most importantly, friendly greetings meld together to liberate customers from the stuffiness or formality that sometimes comes with an upscale jewelry store setting. There’s also the welcome tail-wagging committee, whose members include the owners’ canine companions who regularly accompany the two “Matthews” to work.

Now, onto the essential ingredients that combine to create the unique collection - ethically-sourced diamonds, precious gemstones, platinum, and recycled 18k gold. From organic-shaped moonstones wrapped in brushed gold, pastel colored sapphires set in polished platinum, to classic solitaire engagement rings, Baxter Moerman is destined to adorn, no matter what your heart desires.

We recently popped into the showroom to meet the owners and ogle over the collection. Here’s what they had to say about Baxter Moerman beginnings, the showroom experience, and more.

Origin Story We met while working as bench goldsmiths at another local shop here in downtown San Luis Obispo. Our design aesthetic, work ethic, and love for making jewelry drew us together.

The Baxter Moerman Experience We offer a pretty laid back and hospitable environment based on how we’d like to be treated. First and foremost, we listen to our customer’s needs and go from there.

"We stock our store entirely with jewelry that we have designed and made."

Feel Good Goods We joined Ethical Metalsmiths to learn how we can help make our industry cleaner and more ethical. Supply chain transparency, labor conditions, and environmental impact are huge concerns for us.

Gemstone Inspo Our designs are often described as clean, simple, and classic. Mostly, we start with a gemstone that captures our interest and design around it in a way that accentuates its distinct beauty.

Additional FYI We stock our store entirely with jewelry that we have designed and made. In addition to the two of us, we have a full-time goldsmith, Tony, who helps produce our designs.

We both ride our bikes to work every day, and we have two shop dogs, Penny and Indi, who like to hang out in the store with us. We’re also excited to be celebrating our 10th year in business.

This Southern California native knows how to fashionably navigate cool mornings and straight-up hot afternoons that give way to chilly nights. Here, she curates easy looks ranging from at-home cozy to wine tasting pretty, capturing the essence of casual coastal style.

CHERRY-PICKED WITH PURPOSE Rowan is filled with hand-selected items - each with purpose and meaning. I like offering goods that strike a nice balance between form and function.

ALWAYS IN SEASON In S.B. where the sun is usually shining and the bougainvillea is always in bloom, you can get away with floral prints any time of year. Just throw on a denim jacket or chunky sweater, some great boots and a felt hat to “winterize” any outfit.

SB Arts

Tell us about yourself and your business.

I was an artist at the Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show in the late '80s selling my photography while a student at Brooks Institute, and I really enjoyed the experience. I then transitioned into selling at the YES Store, which was only open for six weeks throughout every holiday season. I started as a featured artist in the store and subsequently moved into management. It was so much fun for 14 years but was sad when we closed every year on Christmas eve. I thought SB needed a year-round venue for local artists; hence my husband and I opened Santa Barbara Arts in 2003.

What is the best part of owning a business in Santa Barbara?

I come from a diverse artisan family, and I have a kinship with artists. It's important to me to support local artists and help them in their artistic endeavors and dreams. Plus, being located in the most beautiful retail setting in downtown Santa Barbara, I meet people from all over the world. I have many regulars who just like to chat, and I love that, too.

Also, I've made many lasting friendships through the store.

Santa Barbara is teeming with talent. How do you go about selecting artists and curating the gallery?

I get many requests from artists, and it's a difficult decision. Mainly I go with creativity. If there is a niche that isn't taken, originality, craftsmanship Dining&Destinations.Ad.2015.indd 1

Los Olivos "My long history with textiles and passion for them speaks to the artist that lives in my soul."

Meet Irene Salas, curator-extraordinaire, globe-trotter, and owner of The Fabric Merchant and Company. This Santa Fe transplant landed in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley several years ago and set up shop with her elegant collection of vintage textiles, linen by the yard, jewelry, clothing, pillows and more. Salas brings over 30 years of international buying, retail, and design experience with textiles, couture fabrics, and home furnishings to her work table. When not out in the field discovering another treasured collection, you'll find this passionate proprietress in the store consulting with customers about custom projects and musing about her travels and the heartfelt connections she's made with artisans all over the world.

1. PASS IT ON "My collection of textiles has passed through many loving hands around the world - a block print throw from Iran, a Peruvian Frazada thickly woven to protect the Andean people from the harsh weather - and it comes from people dedicated to keeping ancient processes like weaving, batiking, eco-dyeing and embroidering alive."

3.

4.

2. LINEN CANVAS "I paint on linen and use it in my tabletop designs because it connects me to nature and the core of natural living things.

3. ADORED ADORNMENTS The store, populated with beautiful pieces of hand-hewn jewelry designed to adorn and accent the clothing collections, is a joy to peruse.

4. ARTFUL LIVING "Textiles are works of art - we wear this art, furnish our homes with this art, and it becomes part of our lives."

5.

5. MOUNTAIN MAGIC "I have worked with my friend and "fairy," Mary Steigerwald for many years, eco-dyeing linen, cashmere and raw silk pieces which I use to create a collection of ready to wear fashion and pillows. We collect foliage in the mountains outside of Santa Fe, wrap it in fabric, immerse it in hot water over a wood-burning fire and finally rinse it in the river.

This all-natural process is the magic which creates the printed leaves and muddy colors of true natural beauty on the fabric."

Kindness also enters into the equation.

Is there something in the gallery that you are coveting right now?

I am honored to have carried James "Bud" Bottoms sculptures and jewelry for 13 years. We were on the same wavelength. Bud would come to every 1st Thursday gallery walk with his wax molds and demonstrate how a bronze sculpture was created. He loved to educate people about art and the environment. He was a true gentleman and definitely walked the walk.

Santa Barbara Arts is a one-stop gift gallery located in the historic La Arcada courtyard featuring treasures by 50+ local artisans.

WHEN PLANNING THIS COMPLETE RENOVATION, our customer wanted to ensure the kitchen and bar area would be the focal point, and provide a significant WOW factor. Charlotte Surand, in our ARMONY showroom in Miami, designed this gorgeous kitchen.

She embraced the house's overall theme and maximized the space and conviviality while maintaining an efficient, functional working area. The balanced mix of niches, integrated appliances, and custom countertops complemented by the natural wood veneer with black matt lacquer creates an elegant and sleek vibe. As an added bonus - an invisible door all in black lacquer accesses the bar area for entertaining. Design ingenuity, combined with the REED INTERIORS installers' expert craftsmanship, resulted in a stunning renovation.

All of this and more can be found at REED INTERIORS in Santa Barbara.

VA R I AT I O N S ON A CLASSIC COMFORT THEME

by Ayda Robana

Like many of us, I’ve done a lot more home cooking over the past few months. Staying in has provided an excellent opportunity to try new things in the kitchen, but it has also been challenging to keep things creative. So I recently decided to start experimenting with variations on classics like macaroni and cheese, a go-to dinner in my house. Here are three of my favorite twists on this timeless American classic, which range from edgy and elevated to a sneak-someveggies-in colorful, kid-friendly version. Now more than ever is the time to find comfort in the familiar, especially when it means digging into a bowlful of delicious cheesy goodness.

Cheese Mixture

2 cups orange cheddar cheese 2 cups Comté or Gruyere cheese 2 cups Fontina cheese 3 tablespoons cornstarch Shred the cheeses, toss with the cornstarch and set aside.

Béchamel Sauce

4 tablespoons flour 2 egg yolks 1 tablespoon salt ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

3 cups whole milk 1 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 8 tablespoons melted butter

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add flour. Slowly add in the milk, egg yolks, and heavy cream while stirring gently. The mixture will thicken slightly after 5 minutes of constant stirring. Bring it to just before a boil, and add in mustard, salt, and turmeric. Then bring the mixture down to a simmer, and stir in the cheese mixture one handful at a time. When the cheese is fully incorporated (béchamel will be thick and stringy), set aside.

Boil your choice of pasta per the instructions on the box.

Toss the cooked pasta with the béchamel, place into a baking dish, garnish with parsley and panko and bake in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 400 degrees, or until golden and bubbly.

While you can’t go wrong with this classic rendition, try mixing things up with one of these delicious variations.

Roasted Kale and Cauliflower Mac & Cheese

Break up a head of cauliflower into florets and toss with olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, until golden brown. De-stem a bunch of kale, sprinkle with olive oil and roast on a baking sheet at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

Add salt to taste after roasting. Toss into the mac and cheese mixture, pour into a baking dish, top with panko and bake for 5-10 minutes at 400 degrees.

Mushroom Mac & Cheese

Sautée a selection of mushrooms (I used crimini, oyster, and shiitake) in a pan with a tablespoon of olive oil and a clove crushed garlic until they start to soften - about five minutes depending upon the size. Once sautéed, add a bit of salt and some finely chopped parsley. Fold the mushrooms into the mac and cheese, pour into a baking dish, top with panko (optional) and bake for 5-10 minutes at 400 degrees.
