Dear Reader,

It is an absolute pleasure to welcome you to The Living Kitchen magazine. The Living Kitchen is a publication from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove. As a leading manufacturer of high-end appliances, we strive to listen to our customers. We are inspired by your voices and your wants and needs, when it comes to our products. Our success would not be possible without you. Over the last couple of years, it became clear we needed to find a new and innovative way to reach out and share valuable information with you. We began to create a dynamic tool for you to reference and utilize. This magazine was born out of that need, and we are excited it will be a part of your home.

Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove is a privately held family-owned company headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin. Westye Bakke started this business almost 80 years ago. He was the first in a long line of the Bakke family with the entrepreneurial spirit to follow their dream and build the best quality refrigeration products on the market. Pioneering innovative new products were the secret to our success. It was that same innovative spirit that inspired built-in refrigeration and the expansion of our family of brands to include Wolf cooking and Cove cleaning products. Our goal with this magazine is to bring the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove community together by sharing stories that celebrate the best use of our brands.

This new community of like-minded people wants content centered on the best in lifestyle, design, wellness and sustainability. As you open the inaugural issue of The Living Kitchen , you’ll meet one of our corporate chefs. He’ll take us fly-fishing and share recipes for the perfect catch. You’ll learn more about us and see kitchen designs from around the world. You might even discover a few exotic locations for wellness and selfcare. We can provide content you can’t get anywhere else, because we will continue to evolve the magazine with your feedback. It is our sincere hope you keep this magazine close at hand to utilize over and over again. Remember we gladly welcome any comments and ideas you may have...this magazine was created just for you.

THROUGH THE EYES OF A KITCHEN DESIGNER

One of the kitchen design industry’s most influential and acclaimed pioneers, Mick De Giulio has created kitchens all over the world.

The Wolf rangetop in this kitchen designed by De Giulio is housed in a farmhouse-style table. The reclaimed pine console includes a sliding marble work surface and a beveled cutting board cover for the double griddle.

I’m excited and honored to be a part of the launch of Sub-Zero/Wolf’s magazine, The Living Kitchen

As I start to write this piece, I can’t help but think back to the time in the 1970s when I began designing kitchens and I first learned of Sub-Zero. I knew it was a small, family-owned company, located in Madison, Wisconsin, that manufactured very high-quality residential refrigerators and freezers that could be built into the cabinetry of a kitchen. I noticed then that whenever I saw a kitchen I liked in a design magazine, it always incorporated a Sub-Zero. By the end of that decade, when I started to have clients who wanted the very best, I began working Sub-Zeros into my designs. I was hooked.

SUB-ZERO PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN TRANSFORMING HOW WE THINK ABOUT

The white, horizontally paneled walls create an elongating effect that visually repeats throughout the kitchen.

Whitewashed wood beams give the ceiling added texture. A Wolf convection steam oven, E series oven, and warming drawer provide the space with maximum functionality.

OUR KITCHENS.

In those days, it seemed that only a few of the shelter magazines did much coverage on kitchens. The rooms thought to be the most important design statements in homes were living rooms, dining rooms, and family rooms. In the hierarchy of home design, the kitchen was at the bottom of the list.

Sub-Zero played a major role in transforming how we think about our kitchens and how our homes are designed today. It was clear that the company had been listening to kitchen designers. The sizes of the refrigerators and freezers Sub-Zero offered were perfect: they were no deeper than the standard 24-inch depth of cabinetry, which had been determined, on average, to be ergonomically ideal. Because the mechanical workings and venting were uniquely engineered to be located at the top of the unit, the sides of the refrigerators (and freezers) could be sealed tightly to cabinetry—homeowners no longer needed to move these large masses to clean around. Besides being designed to last a long time, Sub-Zero products were made in such a way that designers and their clients could artistically create their own choice of façade.

By the 1980s, there was an explosion of interest and awareness in kitchen design and with it came more products and more design ideas. People realized that kitchens could be functional and designed as inspiring, personal expressions.

By the 1990s , kitchen design was firmly a design force to be reckoned with, and in response to the growing lifestyle trend of comfort and informality, more homes were being designed with open plans. And the pivot point of the open plan was—and still is—the kitchen.

By that time, Sub-Zero was headed by President and CEO Jim Bakke, who had been working on a major advancement to the product line and to the kitchen design landscape: the integrated line of refrigeration. An entirely new playing field for designers was being created; refrigerators and freezers could be re-envisioned not only as cabinets but as armoires and other furniture pieces. This is exactly what designers needed for the open plan concept in order to blur the line between the kitchen and the living space.

In 2000, Jim and his team embarked on yet another major initiative: the development of the Wolf line of cooking products, founded upon the same principles as Sub-Zero, with the focus on engineering and design.

Throughout the years, I’ve had the privilege and pleasure to be a part of other special design projects for the brand and have come to know Jim, his family, and the company well. My lasting impression has been that of integrity, passion for quality and design, and the commitment to continuous innovation and improvement by all.

Back when I was reading those early design magazines, noticing the Sub-Zero refrigerators and freezers, little did I know that I would develop one of the most cherished relationships of my professional and personal life with the company’s founding family.

WHAT TO EXPECT >>> Mick will have a recurring column in The Living Kitchen. In issue two, he will focus on how homeowners should prepare for their first meeting with a kitchen designer, while highlighting current trends in the industry.

Perfect BLEND

CAFFEINE DRINKERS, TAKE NOTICE AND REJOICE: WOLF’S NEW BUILT-IN COFFEE SYSTEM MAKES IT EASY FOR YOU TO BECOME YOUR OWN AT-HOME BARISTA.

With its inventive full-color touch screen, the refined Wolf Built-In Coffee System is easy to use and equipped with over 15 beverage options, ensuring you’ll never have to leave home in search of a Starbucks. Equipped with a professional-style grinder, the new system accepts whole beans or ground coffee and presents the option to stick with standard brews or richer blends, including Americano and Espresso. The insulated milk container and froth regulator enables the creation of café quality Cappuccinos, Macchiatos, Lattes, and more.

Top left: The insulated milk container with froth regulator entirely bypasses the coffee brewing system. This makes for easier cleaning.

When it comes to achieving the ultimate cup of coffee, customization is key. Wolf’s Built-In Coffee System provides the opportunity to craft and tailor your perfect drink. The touchscreen enables six independent user profiles that allow modifications in strength, temperature, quantity, and milk preference for every beverage type, ensuring a flavorful, personalized blend for every cup the machine brews.

Equipped with a self-cleaning system that automatically rinses at startup and shutdown, cleaning the Wolf Built-In Coffee System is as simple as a twist of the froth regulator knob. There’s no need for a complicated water line installation, either, as the system comes with an 84.5-ounce water tank.

To further enhance the coffee-drinking experience, Wolf’s Cup Warming Drawer is easy to seamlessly install beneath the Wolf Built-In Coffee System. The warming drawer accommodates up to 40 cups, securing the ultimate indulgence: an expertly brewed Espresso served in a delicately heated demitasse.

Streamlined and elegant, the Wolf Built-In Coffee System, which comes in 24-inch and 30-inch sizes, integrates beautifully not only in kitchens, but also in offices and bedrooms of all styles, so an optimal cup of coffee is always close at hand.

HERITAGE REVIVAL

Richard Brendon crafts contemporary china and glassware with time-honored techniques.

By Jaci Conry

Teacups and saucers from the studio’s recent collaboration with the Victoria & Albert Museum.

AAs a student studying product and furniture design at London’s Kingston University, Richard Brendon focused his final year project on antique saucers. On Saturdays, as he walked to work in a pub on Portobello Road, he frequently popped into the strip’s famed antique market. As he perused the stalls, he became increasingly interested in the fact that there were so many saucers and so few teacups. “The answer is fairly simple, as teacups receive the brunt of use in comparison to saucers, over the centuries they’re more likely to break, leaving the paired saucer rather orphaned and without real purpose,” says Brendon, who delved into the history of British porcelain, which led him to Stroke-on-Trent, the

center of British ceramic production for more than 300 years.

What began as the final project for his design degree evolved into the founding of Richard Brendon Studio in 2013 and the launch of his first collection, Reflect: a marriage of reflective gold and platinum teacups that mirror the exquisite patterns of orphaned antique saucers. “The Reflect collection breathes life and purpose back into these antique saucers and allowed me to work closely with the master craftspeople in Stroke-on-Trent,” says Brendon. “The experience of making Reflect a reality reinforced my passion for timeless design and heritage crafts and we have kept both of these features at the heart of the brand as we’ve expanded into glassware.”

The glassware in the studio’s London, 1650 collection was mouth-blown using 17th-century techniques.

Brendon launched his first collection from his Notting Hill kitchen and while his operation has considerably expanded over the years—he now has 12 employees working out of the brand’s West London studio—the commitment to creating timeless pieces with integrity and longevity is the central component of every product he designs. The studio’s collection, London, 1650 particularly embodied these values, as it was inspired by the strikingly beautiful dark green antique bottles that were being produced in London during the 17th century. The collection was mouth-blown by master glassblower Simon Moore, who trained at the last ever London glass factory, and celebrates the rich, but little known, heritage of glassmaking in the capital.

The studio’s recent collaboration with the Victoria & Albert Museum—the world’s largest museum of applied arts, located

in London—was a brilliant continuation of Reflect, Brendon’s founding collection. “I had the opportunity to dive into the V&A archives and explore their vastly incredible collection of antique saucers, handpicking four to inspire re-imagined designs,” says Brendon. “We then paired these playful and whimsical patterns with our signature Reflect teacups, bringing the collection fully into the present day whilst respecting and reflecting the past.

“We work closely with master craftspeople, shining a considered light on their work and skills, and it's that passion, passed down through generations, that truly helps to make our collections timeless and unique,” says Brendon. “We strive to make our pieces the best they can possibly be, whether it’s a mug used for that all important afternoon tea break or a Champagne flute to toast a special moment.” richardbrendon.com

Induction INNOVATION

WOLF’S INDUCTION RANGE IS HIGH FUNCTIONING, USER FRIENDLY, AND VISUALLY STUNNING.

Before designing Wolf’s latest induction range, the product development team conducted a field test program in which they worked first-hand with users to understand their cooking needs and to see how Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove branded products can be improved. Data from those experiences led to the creation of the newly released Wolf Induction Range, a sleeker, smarter, and more streamlined model with expanded, more userfriendly features.

The completely redesigned look of the Wolf Induction Range provides a sleek alternative to the professional-style range without the red knobs and with refined, clean lines and an integrated touch panel. By reducing the space needed for the range controls, the overall height of the oven cavity was able to be raised 17 percent.

Induction range tops generate a magnetic field that induces heat directly in the pan. In the new Wolf Induction Range, the range top surface is no longer the direct heat source, the cookware is—and this makes induction safe and far more efficient than gas or electric.

Left: Induction cooking harnesses the power of magnets, generating heat directly in the cooking vessel rather than the cooktop, to create a precise and efficient control of heat. Sauces can be held at a simmer for hours without scorching.

Top-of-the-Line Performance

• Intuitive touch panel controls enable consistent, precise heat regulation. Temperature adjustment is nearly instantaneous; the cooktop can go from searing-hot highs to ultra-finessed lows in moments.

• Boost Mode delivers rapid heat for 40 percent faster boil times, rivaling the speed of gas and electric.

• Now with a scratch-resistant ceramic glass surface, the induction top is easy to clean.

Wifi Capable

The Wolf Induction Range

The state-of-the-art range warms and evenly distributes air to reduce hot and cold spots and to enable consistent multirack cooking. To maximize performance, Wolf chefs developed 10 cooking modes, including the usuals—Bake, Broil, Roast, Convection, Convection Roast, Dehydrate, Proof, Stone, and Warm— along with the new Gourmet Mode, which features 50 chef-tested presets.

Induction Oven NEW PRODUCTS

Melt

SAY, “SO LONG!” TO BURNT BUTTER MELTDOWNS

Melting is nothing more than a form change: something solid turning into liquid. It may seem unnecessary to spend time with something as basic as melting, but your Wolf rangetop is especially skilled at holding the low, precise temperature required for the task. This ultra-low heat function offers you versatility and unworried cooking flexibility.

For something as simple as homemade popcorn, you may desire melted butter to coat the fluffy white kernels. The lowest setting on your burner liquefies and holds butter at a steady temperature—for hours at a time— without burning. Ultimately, this low-heat capability lets you attend to other cooking tasks without any worry of scorching.

USE FOR: – Butter – Chocolate – Cheese

Fondue

Make this dessert your own—experiment with different semisweet and bittersweet chocolates.

INGREDIENTS

PREPARATION METHOD

1. In a medium saucepan, combine chocolate, milk, and cream. Heat on low, stirring often, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Keep the heat low to prevent the mixture from coming to a boil. 2. Once melted, add the vanilla extract. 3. Turn the burner to the lowest setting to hold the melted chocolate at the perfect serving temperature. Stir in an additional tablespoon of cream for a thinner consistency, if desired. Serve alongside fresh fruit, pound cake, and cookies.

MODEL of EFFICIENCY

Inspired by a desire to find solutions to problems that had long existed in the way kitchens worked, The Galley was designed as a workstation hub where every task related to food prep, presentation, and clean-up can be consolidated.

The cleverly designed system greatly maximizes the functionality of a limited footprint with a deep, two-tiered basin that allows for Culinary Tools such as Cutting Boards, Drying Racks, and more, to fit in place to create a Workstation. The two levels accommodate interchangeable Tools that allow multiple functions to be performed: vegetables may be washed in the Colander which fits into a Platform that drains into the Workstation and then chopped on the adjacent Cutting

Board. After food prep, a different set of Tools can quickly and conveniently transform the area into a serving station.

"For anyone who wants to make their kitchen more functional and convenient, The Galley Workstation does that and so much more,” says Scott Anderson, CEO of The Galley. “It leaves you wondering how you ever had a kitchen without one."

The Galley offers an expansive line of super-functional, smart, and stylish Ideal Workstations, WashStations™, Work&WashStations™, BarStations®, and Custom Workstations. There is a Workstation for everyone! Each Galley is hand-crafted and made in the USA.

The Galley Workstation makes preparing Sunday brunch—and all other types of meals—a breeze.

Professional chefs who require maximum efficiency find The Galley Workstation revolutionary. Chef Erick Williams, owner of Virtue Restaurant and Bar in Chicago, has one in the kitchen of his home. “The Galley is the best thing to happen in home kitchens since gas burning stoves. The stations are efficient and suitable for any home cook to host like a trained chef,” says Williams. “I just love the attention to detail applied to its forward- thinking design. There isn't a better option on the market.”

Read on for the recipe to one of Williams’ signature Sunday brunch dishes, Boneless Chicken & Waffles.

IN YOUR GALLEY

You can chop, strain, and mix easily and ergonomically to prepare a meal and efficiently transition to cooking. Using various serving boards, quickly and conveniently transition into a serve station or set out drinks and hors d’oeuvres to create an ideal entertain station. Contain the mess within your Galley and clean throughout preparing, cooking, serving, and entertaining!

BEHIND THE SCENES

With the utilitarian elements tucked away, brass and marble combine to create a kitchen with elegant appeal.

By Jaci Conry Photography by Jonathan Bond

These days, a kitchen needs to be supremely equipped, a high-functioning space geared for performance and the utmost efficiency. Yet, not all of the room’s integral parts need to be on display. Such is the case in this home in Notting Hill, where London-based interior designer Samantha Todhunter strove to conceal the kitchen’s utilitarian nature.

“I wanted everything to disappear, for the kitchen to sit well as a really beautiful room on its own without screaming that it was a kitchen,” says Todhunter, who finished the striking, high-ceilinged space with a combination of marble and brass. The airy kitchen includes a casual dining area that flows into a living area. A wall of windows and glass doors connects to the outdoor patio and fills the room with abundant light.

A vast island that Todhunter kept expanding during the design phase takes center stage in the kitchen. To give the ample piece a more furniture-like appeal, the island is fitted with brass drawers rather than cabinetry and topped with Arabescato marble, which combines soft whites and dark-gray tones. The marble was also used for the backsplash behind the six-burner Wolf range, the only appliance in the room that isn’t concealed. “The iconic red knobs are a badge that this is truly a proper kitchen,” says Todhunter. “I love that Wolf has a cool industrial element to it. The brand sits well in a lot of different environments—from country homes to super sleek places.”

“The marble veining is so amazing, we didn’t want anything to compete with it,” says Todhunter, who included just one upper cabinet on the side of the room with the backsplash. The sole upper cabinet has reeded glass doors that obscure the view of the homeowner’s daily dishware. On the opposite side, a wall of floor-to-ceiling white cabinetry conceals all cookware, food items, and the Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. “It’s an incredibly functional kitchen, yet everything disappears behind the cabinetry,” says Todhunter.

A brass box was designed to go around the range hood and a long band of the metal rims a linear shelf above it that spans the length of the room; all of the drawer pulls in the room are brass as well. “The brass adds glamour and twinkle, it has a lovely finishing-off affect,” says Todhunter. “While you might find a marble dining table paired with brass, you don’t often see a whole room featuring the two. By bringing the two very grownup materials together, the room feels important and elegant on its own.”

HOME STYLE

A seasoned designer pairs her husband’s insights with her own expertise to create their dream kitchen.

By Janice Randall Rohlf Photography by Greg Premru

With 15 years of professional experience to draw on, interior designer Jocelyn Chiappone would presumably find creating her own new kitchen a breeze. But the wealth of information she’s amassed as founder and principal of Digs Design Company in Newport, R.I., could just as well complicate the decision-making process. So, she took a shrewd approach. “I treated my husband like the client,” she says. “Michael has a wonderful eye and loves to cook, so a lot of his decisions were more practical and intuitive than decorative.”

Husband and wife spend a lot of time in the kitchen, a dormered, natural-light flooded room that easily accommodates their entire blended family—seven children and three grandchildren— yet also feels cozy when it’s just the two of them, a dichotomy Chiappone achieved by dividing the 22-foot-by-24-foot space into purpose-driven zones, the two main ones being the wall with the range and cooking area and, opposite, the wall with a fireplace and storage. Arranged around these hubs are a coffee station, a bar/ entertaining area, a nook with a custom banquette, and the pièce de résistance, a huge center island whose countertop marries Calacatta bluette marble with end grain walnut butcher block.

Bright and airy without being all white, the kitchen is high on both style and function. Playing off Benjamin Moore Coventry Gray surfaces, the palette is fresh and sophisticated: walnut drawer fronts, polished brass hardware, and a teardrop-mosaic backsplash that lends a touch of Art Deco to the room.

“This is our year-round home, so I wanted the kitchen to feel a little coastal but at the same time have a bit of a traditional, chic feel,” says Chiappone. As befits a designer, the room is more than just for show, as its 14 appliances, most hidden behind cabinet fronts, attest.

“Whenever Digs Design does a kitchen, the appliances are always the starting point,” explains Chiappone, who made a beeline for her local Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove showroom, Clarke. “They were really helpful, and we especially appreciated all the fabulous [appliance] demonstrations.” Her husband fell in love with the Wolf convection steam oven, which, as a quick way to cook vegetables, is a nice complement to the kitchen workhorse, a six-burner stainless steel range customized with stainless knobs and brass bezels. Other Wolf appliances include an undercabinet microwave drawer tucked under the built-in coffee system.

While visiting the showroom, Chiappone was inspired to incorporate Sub-Zero refrigerator columns into her kitchen, a style she appreciates “because you never have to bend over, and everything is easier to find than in a sideby-side.” This gives her a seamless wall of cabinets composed of a 30” refrigerator, 30” freezer, and a 30” pantry column for all food storage.

There’s a lot to love about this kitchen, but for Chiappone the fireplace tops all the other features. “I’m addicted to it,” she says of the counter-height gas hearth inspired by the design of a pizza oven she once saw. “Now we’re redoing our bedroom and I’m wondering if we can fit a fireplace in there too.”

MIM DESIGN CREATES AN AWARD-WINNING KITCHEN IN MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA THAT IS AS ROBUST AS IT IS REMARKABLE.

By Marni Elyse Katz Photography by Peter Clarke

Practical opulence may seem paradoxical until one considers the kitchens created by Mim Design. This kitchen, which won first place in the Contemporary category of the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Kitchen Design Contest, is a consummate example. “The clients are a very active family who entertain often and have an eye for detail,” says Miriam Fanning, founder of the Melbourne studio. “The kitchen needed to be elegant and enduring.”

Over the last 20-plus years, Fanning has cultivated a portfolio replete with high-end private and multi-residential interiors, hospitality projects, and more. Each showcases the firm’s finesse with balancing form and function, and merging luxury with durability. When it comes to the kitchen, the designer believes it is the heart of the home. As such, it must connect seamlessly to the surrounding spaces and help to define the home’s overall aesthetic.

Mim Design collaborated closely with Emma Tulloch Architects and the clients on this statement residence in a leafy suburb of Melbourne. “We learned how the clients spend their days and use the spaces,” Fanning says. As the hub of the open plan layout, it was essential that the kitchen’s scale complement the large house, and that its materials and detailing do the same. “We wanted each part of the house to have a strong personality,” Fanning says. That included the kitchen.

A monolithic marble island anchors the kitchen. “The island feels like it was extruded out of the floor,” Fanning says, noting both the island and the floor tiles are Elegant Gray marble with a honed finish. The marble’s smoky gray/ brown color infuses the kitchen with a sultriness that belies its rock-hard foundation.

The working side of the hefty island has crisp, square edges to maximize storage, while the front corners boast luscious curves. The silhouette echoes moments in the home’s architecture and helps soften the rectilinear room. “The rounded edges in front, which are carved out of stone blocks, make the island feel soft, even though the material is strong,” notes Fanning.

Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in walnut hues picks up the smoky undertones of the stone and lends warmth. The contemporary styling and dark color of the appliances, which were chosen at the start of the space planning process, helped to drive the choice of the chocolate brown timber. “The appliances meld nicely with this cabinetry; black would have felt too heavy,” Fanning says.

As for making those selections, Fanning and the clients spent an afternoon at the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove showroom in Melbourne, where they learned about the products and enjoyed lunch. “It was paramount that they chose equipment that accommodates their entertaining needs,” says the designer.

The timber wall houses four integrated columns of Sub-Zero refrigeration, including a wine storage unit that offers a glimpse of the homeowners’ collection. (The balance is stored in a luxurious lower level wine cellar.) A 30-inchwide stack of sleek, black glass Wolf ovens—convection steam oven, single oven, and warming drawer—stands to the left. “Australians prefer oven stacks for ergonomic ease,” Fanning says. “We’ve done few kitchens with under-bench ovens in the last five years.”

Similarly, she adds, Australians are gravitating to induction cooktops. “These clients appreciate the functionality and seamless design.” Indeed, the black cooktop almost disappears within the white and pale gray Elba marble. “We introduced the lighter stone to the palette for freshness and to balance the room’s darker elements,” says Fanning. The subtle reflectivity of the polished plaster hood further brightens the scheme and ties to the plaster finishes elsewhere in the home.

Fanning reports that the kitchen performs flawlessly for everyday life, casual get-togethers, and catered events, while looking gorgeous at every turn. “Our clients take great pride in their kitchen,” she says.

Fantasy ISLAND

Located on the serene shores of Anguilla, CAP JULUCA provides the ultimate escape from reality.

Set amid 179 acres on the shores of Maundays Bay on the small island of Anguilla in the British West Indies, Cap Juluca has a laid-back vibe that attracts guests who are craving a reset; a chance to disconnect, barefoot and bathing-suit clad. It’s truly an unrivaled location, this jewel of a resort where the sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean are the constant backdrop and the whitesand, mile-long beach is considered one of the world’s best.

The five-star resort is now owned by the exclusive hotel group Belmond and boasts 66 guest rooms and 42 suites—the signature Jonquil Suite is an ultimate haven with its own infinity pool, oceanfront jacuzzi

and two bathrooms, each with its own hot tub—four restaurants, and a spa that utilizes the healing powers of the sea, applying ancient techniques and local products in its therapies.

For all its high-end amenities now, Cap Juluca had much more modest beginnings. Linda and Charles Hickox spotted the undeveloped Maundays Bay in 1984 on a boat trip and decided to build a restaurant there. Four years later, they built an 18-room hotel on the site that was an instant hit with the jet-setting crowd. Over the next decades, the hotel gradually expanded; after buying the property in 2017 from the Hickoxes, Belmond carried out a multi-year $121 million renovation, led by Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio.

The property’s original two-story, whitewashed Moorish-inspired structures are intact, while the interior accommodations have been reimagined to reflect a luxuriously appointed private residence—think British Colonial style with a touch of modern. Each guest room and suite includes a private veranda or balcony to take in the captivating sunsets and sunrises over the sea.

Nearby, Cap Juluca has three-and five-bedroom villas that offer optimal seclusion for family and friends traveling together. The multi-story pool villas include a full kitchen with a dining atrium for private meals, direct beach access, and a personal freshwater swimming pool.

Honoring Anguilla’s reverence of the sea, resort guests can join local third-generation Anguillan fisherman Shawn Romney to learn about the importance of fishing for the local community. Using a traditional yo-yo reel, Romney and his guests will head over to the eastern point of Maundays Bay, a favorite local fishing spot for decades. They will cast lines searching for a yellowtail snapper, blue runner, or parrotfish before taking the fresh catch back to the resort’s new restaurant, Uchu, for a private ceviche lunch paired with fresh produce grown in the property’s greenhouse.

Uchu, which joined the property’s other three restaurants—Pimm’s, Cip’s by Cipriani, and Cap Shack—this year, features a menu of contemporary Peruvian cuisine. The restaurant offers a casual chic seafront dining option by day with a lunch menu based on local seafood.

A playground for water activities, resort guests can adventure on an offshore trip to the tiny chain of uninhabited islands of Prickly Pear Cays, acquire an open water dive certification, or take part in windsurfing, water skiing, or snorkeling off the coast. As the sun rises, avid bird watchers can join local conservationist Jackie Cestero on a morning walk around Cove Pond, a nesting habitat for over 40 species of tropical birds—from the green-throated Carib to the Antillean Bullfinch.

One of Cap Juluca’s new excursions involves setting off in the property’s sea blue vintage Volkswagen van to explore the island’s 33 beaches. Guided by one of the resort’s hosts, no detail is overlooked for a perfect beach day, outfitted with beach chairs, towels, a stocked drink cooler, and a Polaroid camera to capture candid shots from the day. A gourmet picnic lunch will be set up filled with à la carte menu items such as a smoked salmon poke bowl or lobster sandwich. As the sun sets, guests can opt for a champagne toast as they sit back and watch the horizon on the cruise back to Maundays Bay.

DAY All ALFRESCO ,

A fully equipped outdoor kitchen makes it possible to enjoy the landscape all day long.

By MARNI ELYSE KATZ Photography by ROGER TURK

For designer Candace Nordquist, creating outdoor recreational spaces was always part of the plan for her home, located on a quiet inlet on Puget Sound. “The water is very usable with ideal southwest-facing exposure,” she says. “My husband likes to be outside almost year-round and we love having people over.”

A roofed structure with a scored concrete floor overlooks the water. Integrated concrete planters separate it from the lawn, where guests play bocce ball and cornhole.

A gas fireplace with a textural tile surround anchors a seating area with plenty of well-cushioned spots to settle in. Pull-down shades on the pavilion’s two open sides offer respite from rain or sun. A ceiling fan keeps the breeze moving, while in-ceiling heaters ensure warmth regardless of weather.

A 36-inch Outdoor Wolf Grill is nestled next to the chimney. Nordquist, who appreciates the brand’s quality and that products are American made, chose this gas model after recommending it to satisfied clients who gave great feedback on it. Her husband, who she says is the “grill man” signed off on it too. “I wanted to carry the same contemporary style throughout,” she says, noting that she installed Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances in her indoor kitchen too.

The 13-inch Wolf Side Burner is the designer’s domain. “In the summer we do a lot of clambakes; a side burner was crucial so we don’t have to cook that inside,” she says. “There are clam beds in the bay right off our ramp, and we catch crabs nearby too.”

MARY AND BRIAN HEFFERNAN TRANSFORMED THE LIVES OF THEIR FOUR DAUGHTERS WHEN THEY RELOCATED TO RURAL NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO BECOME RANCHERS. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE BEST DECISION THEY EVER MADE

By Danna Lorch

ary and Brian Heffernan have deep agricultural roots but they met, married, and started raising their family while they were living in the Bay Area. The couple share an entrepreneurial spirit: Brian was a real estate attorney and Mary owned a tutoring company; together they started multiple businesses including family-friendly farm-to-table restaurants.

After buying an 1,800-acre Californian ranch in Siskiyou County to raise ethically farmed meat for their restaurants, the couple initially hired a ranch manager and planned to commute back-and-forth on weekends—a 12-hour round trip. After a couple of months, though, Brian and Mary realized they were burnt out by the pace of their lives. Moreover, they noticed how much happier their four daughters, who are all named Mary in reverence to a long-standing family tradition, were in the pastoral environment. They contemplated making a drastic change and, several weeks later, the family was relocating from their very large new home in Los Altos to live off the land and in a much smaller house in the tiny town

of Fort Jones. They took a leap of faith, completely upending their lives to open Five Marys Farms—and they haven’t looked back.

Brian is a farmer’s child and Mary is a sixthgeneration native Californian. But loving the state and its soil is very different from keeping up with the unpredictable demands of raising livestock. As firstgeneration ranchers, their initial learning curve was steep. Mary had to pick up everything on the spot— from corralling bulls that jumped a neighbor’s fence to operating heavy ranch machinery.

But Mary says the biggest lesson she and Brian learned was to raise their expectations of their girls, who were all under the age of six when they first migrated from suburbia to the ranch. “We went from filling their sippy cups and helping them with their baths to needing them to take care of each other or cook dinner if Brian and I were out helping to deliver a calf late at night,” she says.

The young Marys—who go by their middle names to avoid confusion—not only rose to the challenge but have thrived in the free-range environment and are

“IN OUR FAMILY WE HAVE A RULE THAT THE ANIMALS EAT BEFORE WE DO, SO SOMETIMES WE’RE STILL WORKING AFTER DARK BEFORE WE GO INSIDE TO MAKE DINNER AND SIT DOWN AS A FAMILY.”

The outdoor pavilion kitchen has a rustic, camp vibe.

M5 SIDECAR, THE CLASSIC ingredients

2 oz. Meyer lemon juice

2 oz. bourbon (we love Five Marys or Bulleit!)

1 oz. Cointreau

Sugar for rim Ice for shaking Lemon for garnish instructions

Use a slice of lemon to wet the rim of a martini or coupe glass and dip glass into sugar to make a sugared rim.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour lemon juice, bourbon, and Cointreau into the shaker and give it a good shake! Strain the sidecar from the cocktail shaker into your glass with a strainer or the top of the cocktail shaker. Garnish with either a lemon twist or wedge.

now deeply involved in the ranch’s operations. The girls help to feed all the livestock—the sheep, the cattle, and the pigs—every morning and every night. Mary says, “In our family we have a rule that the animals eat before we do, so sometimes we’re still working after dark before we go inside to make dinner and sit down as a family.”

A commitment to humanely raising livestock that roam free is what makes Five Marys stand out—along with the way they ship their ranch-raised, dry-aged meats directly to families all over the country who have signed up for memberships.

“Cooking is such a big part of what we do,” says Mary, noting that much of the farm’s effort revolves around encouraging other families to get back to the family dinner table and prepare meals together. The Heffernans favor simple recipes with good-quality ingredients, from grilled flank steak tacos to Sloppy Joe’s and skillet cornbread to the classic spaghetti and meatballs the girls like to eat at night. Their signature M5 Burgers with bacon jam are served up at Five Marys Burgerhouse, the restaurant the Heffernans opened five minutes down the road from the ranch a few years ago.

Mary and the girls after a long day on the farm.

The family frequently dines outdoors with friends just a few feet away from the cow pasture.

There’s always a lot going on at Five Marys regardless of the season, from testing recipes for a new cookbook to mending fences and hosting guests at the outdoor camp area, which is kitted out with wall tents and an outdoor pavilion kitchen. Mary says, “We have a Wolf range, fridge, and grill and an outdoor cooking space up there. It’s a great place for hosting guests and inviting them to come in and be a part of Five Marys life for a weekend.” These Camp Five Marys participants have signed up to experience a taste of ranch life and are up at dawn doing chores; later in the day they’re able to enjoy the farm’s bounty and sip whiskey around the firepit like true ranchers.

For those who can’t travel to the ranch in person, there is M5 Ranch School, a virtual community where you can learn how to raise chickens, plant a garden, can your produce, or bake a pie from scratch. For more details, visit fivemarysfarms.com.

Home on the Range

“My parents put one of the first commercial Wolf ranges in our house when I was eight-years-old, and it was the highlight and center of our family kitchen,” says Mary. “Since then, we’ve always had Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. At the ranch, the appliances help us to showcase our meats in so many ways. In the test kitchen, we have the vacuum-sealed drawer, which is amazing and allows us to package and save some of the wild game we harvest right on our own ranch.”

In the Heffernans’ own kitchen, there is a Wolf warming drawer that comes in handy when, says Mary, “I’m cooking hot dinner and learn that Brian is going to be working for who knows how much longer. I can keep that dinner warm until he comes in from the pastures or in from the corrals.” Their kitchen is complete with a six-burner Wolf range, a grill, and a griddle, which the family cooks on multiple times a day.

“My husband rises at 4:40 a.m. every morning and he absolutely loves his Wolf coffeemaker,” says Mary. “I don’t know where he’d be without it. That cup of coffee is his lifeline in the morning to getting out there and taking care of our animals.”

SLEEPING UNDER THE STARS IN STYLE

UNDER CANVAS OFFERS AN ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL CAMPING THAT STILL GIVES TRAVELERS A CHANCE TO SLEEP UNDER THE STARS.

Under Canvas Moab lies just seven miles north of Moab near Utah’s famed Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park.

make no mistake, Under Canvas is not your dad’s backyard camping. It’s glamping: spacious safari tents, en-suite bathrooms, plush linens, and air conditioning.

Launched in 2009, Under Canvas has elevated the idea of camping to near-luxury status, providing experiences at 10 majestic National Park settings throughout the United States from the desert to the mountains, including the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, the Great Smoky Mountains, and Acadia.

Under Canvas has garnered such close access to the nation’s iconic parks because of the company’s eco-friendly commitment and its minimal footprint/disturbance approach.

Under Canvas was founded to inspire and connect families to explore the outdoors and to foster appreciation and environmental consciousness for the astonishing surrounding natural landscape. However, the company asserts that experiencing the outdoors doesn’t mean roughing it: you need not pack portable cook-tops, flashlights, or sleeping bags, and there are private bathrooms with showers. Equipped with pull-chain showerheads, these spare showers give the romantic picture of a vintage utilitarian apparatus. Yet these, along with low-flow toilets, enable the resorts to cut down on water usage.

Clockwise from left: Under Canvas Grand Canyon is set upon 160-acres of woodland; the living area and king guest tent in Moab; the Mount Rushmore location is four miles away from the iconic monument.

The expansive main lobby tents are furnished with West Elm furniture, and the onsite dining rivals restaurant fare in chic urban locales. In the oversized guest tents, king-size beds sit atop wooden platforms while leather sofas and cowhide rugs nod to the safari style of a bygone era with modern flair.

Daily National Park adventures are organized shortly after booking and the fun doesn’t stop after the day’s exploration is complete. Each location offers evening programming ranging from yoga classes and crafts to acoustic live music and outdoor games. And there’s no Wi-Fi onsite. Rather, Under Canvas prefers guests focus on disconnecting from technology in order to connect with others and the landscape. Bedside lanterns are operated by rechargeable battery packs, eliminating the need for electrical outlets in tents and you can charge your phone while reading in bed after dark; just don’t get caught with it in the morning.

At Under Canvas Yellowstone, visitors have endless opportunities to see the area’s diverse and abundant wildlife.

Fruit trees, greens, squash, herbs, pumpkins, berries… the list of heirloom produce grown at Harvest Haven Barn, the organic garden at Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove’s Madison, Wisconsin, headquarters, is endless.

Joel Chesebro, Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove head chef, is inspired by the season’s freshest ingredients picked straight from the garden. “My goal in cooking is for the recipe to serve the ingredients—not the other way around,” says Chesebro, who has been with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove for 19 years. For cooking demonstrations held at Harvest Haven’s fully and beautifully equipped spacious white barn, the culinary team prepares scrumptious, creative dishes based on what is growing in the garden.

The value of fresh produce is immense and being able to grow it on site at Harvest Haven is a wonderful, amazing resource, says Chesebro. “We have a root cellar, we dehydrate vegetables, make preserves and pickles, and freeze food—which is a particularly important preservation technique. We strive to not waste an ingredient.”

Heirloom produce—vegetables grown from seeds handed down from one generation to the next—does not have a long shelf life. However, Chesebro says that SubZero’s dual refrigeration system—when the refrigerator and freezer are separate units—is geared to preserve vegetables for longer periods of time. “When frozen dry air is taken from the freezer and utilized for refrigeration as it is in average refrigerator/freezer combination units, it’s very bad for leafy green vegetables, a lot of damage is created in temperature and humidity fluctuation,” says Chesebro.

In addition, Sub-Zero refrigerators are equipped with an air purification filter in the back of the unit that takes out the ethylene, a gas released by some fruits and vegetables that causes them to ripen faster. “When we store things in the refrigerator, we don’t want them to continue to ripen,” says Chesebro. “The filter really works to maintain the integrity of certain vegetables.”

Clockwise from left: The garden at Harvest Haven; Chef Joel Chesebro harvests fresh produce for almost every recipe he makes; Chesebro fly-fishes in his leisure time.

Along with utilizing garden fresh vegetables, Chesebro enjoys cooking carefully sourced fish in the warmer months of the year. To identify the freshest fish available for cooking, he recommends home chefs develop a relationship with their local fish market. “Tell them the way you want to cook fish— sauté, grill, or bake—and ask what fish looks best,” Chesebro says. Read on for delicious recipes for a meal featuring grilled fish, pesto, and caramelized vegetables.

The Heat is On

Cooking

with convection

THE CONVECTION setting on a Wolf oven provides the best way to prepare many foods. “Convection is an incredibly efficient mechanism for heat transfer; its primary value is to develop flavor and cook evenly,” says Chesebro, who recommends using the convection setting to cook most dishes from roasts to chocolate chip cookies, and everything in between. The only time it is not a good idea to use the convection setting on your oven is when cooking custards and quick breads. “Apart from those, convection cooking is engineered to be used for everything else,” says Chesebro, noting that when using the convection setting it is important to subtract 25 degrees from the temperature advised for cooking a dish in a standard oven, and convection will take 25 percent less time to bake than a standard oven.

Wolf convection ovens come in a variety of models, including the under counter unit below.

Pesto

PREP: 20 minutes

MAKES: 6 servings

2 cups fresh greens (pea shoots, sorrel, spinach, kale or arugula)

2 tablespoons nuts (pine nuts, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans or peanuts)

2 large cloves garlic – finely minced ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

½ cup carrot roasted in 400 degree convection oven until soft and slightly charred (optional)

½ cup freshly grated aged cheese (sheep, goat or cow)

Salt, pepper and chili flakes for adjusting 1 cup salt for blanching

METHOD

1. In a large pot bring a gallon of water and the cup of salt to boil.

2. Prepare an ice bath by mixing about 2 quarts of water with about 2 quarts of ice.

3. Quickly dunk the greens in boiling water, let set for 15 seconds and then plunge into ice bath.

4. Remove greens from ice bath, squeeze to remove excess water and then chop with knife before blending. If you like, toast the nuts gently on 290 degrees convection for 5 to 10 minutes until they are nicely toasted.

5. Place greens and lemon juice into blender and blend until greens are pureed, then add nuts and pulse until chopped. If you are using, add the carrots and pulse until minced. Lastly, add the cheese and olive oil and blend to combine.

6. Taste and adjust with salt and chili flakes.

7. Serve over roasted potatoes or vegetables, on pasta, mixed with rice or as a garnish for fish, chicken or even a steak.

Grilled Fish tips

• Start with fresh fish.

• Curing fish can add flavor.

• Use high heat and don’t move fish right away to let heat develop flavor.

• Sear on one side over high heat and then turn down and finish over lower heat on second side.

Basic Vinaigrette

PREP: 20 minutes MAKES: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil or a blend of half olive oil, half grapeseed oil. If you want, add just a bit of other oil for flavor.

3 tablespoons vinegar of choice (balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, rice wine vinegar or champagne vinegar).

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

1 small shallot, minced

2 medium cloves garlic, minced Salt and pepper to taste

2. Toss veggies in oil, salt and pepper.

3. Open oven and divide the veggies onto the two pre-heated sheet trays and spread to enhance browning.

CREATING THE KITCHENS OF TOMORROW

Excerpted from an upcoming book produced in partnership with History Factory.

The L.C. Bud Bakke Innovation Center is a hive of ideas, research, and experimentation, gathering all product development specialists in a single dynamic workspace.

Under the leadership of the Bakkes—including Bud, at left, and Westye, at right—Sub-Zero Group has never strayed from the quality and values that set it apart.

Prior to opening the Innovation Center in 2021, our product-development specialists were scattered across our Madison headquarters and our campus in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. Now, they are centralized under one roof. Engineers. Product marketing and consumer insights teams. Designers. Testing specialists. Everyone brings their respective skill sets and perspectives to spur a freer, more nimble exchange of ideas for our brands.

Each day, our people use 25 product labs and 600 test stations. Sound chambers. Test

kitchens. Collaborative workstations. Focusgroup suites. Prototype assembly lines.

In short, we’ve designed a space optimized for creating the future.

“During my father’s time, our ‘innovation center’ was a 10-by-10 office at our headquarters on Hammersley Road,” said President and CEO Jim Bakke. “With this new facility, we’re investing in our position as the innovator in high-end appliances. It’s been the key to our success for more than 75 years. It’s our heritage and our future.”

REDEFINING SUSTAINABILITY

At Sub-Zero Group, we don’t view conservation efforts as aspirational aims. They are a present-day priority.

That attitude filters through our business from the top, starting with President and CEO Jim Bakke. “Jim really [champions] these measures,” said Sara Northouse, Sustainability Specialist at Sub-Zero Group. “Any time we present a project, we get a nod like, ‘Yes, that’s what we should do.’ That’s a great feeling.”

Which is why, before building our Innovation Center, we partnered with the Wisconsin-based Focus on Energy group to make wise investments to bolster our already-elevated sustainability standards. Many of these strides will be invisible to visitors, but their impact will be felt for decades to come.

Our ice-bank chiller system generates ice during off-peak hours, reducing operating costs and energy usage. Closed-loop water systems eliminate unnecessary water waste. And energy-saving occupancy sensors—paired with high-efficiency boilers and furnaces— reduce the building’s carbon footprint.

At the same time, we wanted to ensure that our employees would work in a space bathed in natural light. Like other workspaces around our campus, the Innovation Center boasts electric vehicle charging stations and access to a commuter bike trail. Collectively, these investments underscore how inextricably intertwined we view social wellness and environmental stewardship.

The Innovation Center represents an ideal vision of 21st century collaboration. It also provides the space and resources team members need to introduce game-changing products.
