Direct Importers of the World’s Finest Rugs CAUCASIAN RUGS
We are a full service rug company, featuring the world’s finest rugs. We specialize in new, antique, and semi-antique hand-woven masterpieces from all over the world with one of the largest selections nationally. Adibs.com • 801-484-6364 3092 S Highland Dr, Salt Lake City At the Historic Villa Theater
Caucasian rugs are named for their region of origin: the area of the Caucasus Mountains which links modern day Turkey and Iran. Bordering Iran to the North, the Caucasus ranks among the most grandiose and hostile landscapes in the world. A single narrow ridge of mountains stretching 400 miles east to west and containing twelve peaks higher than the tallest Alps, along with numerous glaciers and tumbling gorges that rival those of the Himalayas. The mountains are climaxed by Mt. Elbruz, towering to 18,493 feet above sea level. Here, in Greek legend, the god Zeus chained Prometheus for eternity as punishment for delivering fire to man. For centuries these mountains have provided refuge for nomadic peoples who were forced to go there after being driven out of more hospitable areas. These mountain peoples were known both for their spirited sense of independence and their longevity, with many tribal elders living decades past one hundred years. This harsh environment of either the high mountain meadows where they grazed their sheep; or the deep valley below where they waited out the winter, created a gratitude for anything that provided comfort or beauty. Perhaps as an expression of the deep joy of a people living and working close to the earth, the tribesperson wove rugs. These carpets he created were magnificent! The Caucasian carpet possesses an individuality, a boldness and deep sense of unity which is truly unsurpassed in the world of antique Oriental rugs. These rugs are most striking, containing a daring use of color, balanced not by shading, but rather through contrast. The predominant reds, blues, greens and yellows would seem clashing to the mind, yet the superb confidence of the Caucasian craftsmen created color combinations so harmonious that they have been marveled at and studied by Western artists for centuries. The entire evolution of tribal rug weaving can be seen in Caucasian antique carpets. The dragon motif, boteh, flowerhead, arabesque, palmette, birds, animals, cloudband and crab designs are all present. Sometimes many of these are found in a single antique rug. Determination and intensity side-by-side with humor and lightness demonstrate the dexterity of the Caucasian weaver. It is of little wonder that the weavings of the numerous Caucasian tribal groups enjoy a universal popularity among collectors of antique Oriental rugs today. They are living examples which speak to us of both the gaiety and deep understanding of life possessed by their creators – the mountain weavers of the Caucasus.
Come into the Gallery and select the Caucasian rug that speaks to you from our extensive inventory!
EDITOR’S NOTE
Surprise Delivery I
’m not going to speculate on whether putting a swimming pool inside your front door is a good idea, but I will say that when you have an opportunity to make your home special and uniquely yours, it seems silly not to do it. I admit, I didn’t see it coming. When I first visited Dorothy Day Lee’s remodeled Spanish-style home (Spanish Revival, page 74), I naturally expected to enter a foyer when I walked through the front door. Instead, I stepped into a sun-soaked courtyard anchored by a swimming pool, large fringed umbrellas, potted palms and a loggia leading to double doors painted peacock blue. This second doorway opened to an interior filled with equally surprising design. As an editor whose job it is to seek out strikingly unique homes to share with our readers, I’d just hit the jackpot. And as a result, so have you. Each room in this home is more inspiring than the next. These days, we all crave special spaces. We want to see them in magazines, and we want to live in
them. The key word here is special. Today, good design is no longer about perfection. It’s about personality. It’s the difference between a predictable, albeit pretty, model home and a delightful dwelling filled with wit, customized functionality and one-of-a-kind style. And of course, it’s about thought-provoking surprises. On that front, this issue delivers big time. From this courtyard pool in Salt Lake City and a wild black-and-white marble floor in Orem to dazzling screens in Park City, fabulous outdoor fire features and much more, daring design flourishes in the following pages, ready to prompt personalized spaces of your own.

MOVE OVER GRAY, you’ve had your moment. We’re ready for something more cheerful but equally chic. Enter today’s pastels. These aren’t the candy-colored hues of kids’ rooms and Easter eggs, but rather earthier, more sophisticated shades reminiscent of charming Scandinavian design. Ironically, the trick to creating this grown-up palette is tinging pure pastels with a hint of, you guessed it, gray.

hen it comes to finding her dream house, you might call designer Dorothy Day Lee something of a house whisperer. Take her previous residence, for example: a midcentury modern dwelling in Salt Lake’s St. Mary’s neighborhood. It was love at first sight, but the home wasn’t for sale. Lee made repeated phone calls to the owners, and she was so convinced she would live there one day she even took the liberty of enjoying takeout dinners on the front porch of the vacant property. “I basically just stalked the home,” she says, laughing. Her persistence paid off—she eventually got the keys and
completely remodeled the property. It was home sweet home for four years, but she started itching to work on a new project. Lee called upon her friend and real estate agent Cody Derrick, owner of CityHomeCollective (CHC), to help her sell the St. Mary’s house and begin her quest for a new spot to hang her handbag. When the duo visited a unique Spanish-style home, Lee fell head over heels all over again. “This home is one of the most interesting examples of midcentury modern, Spanish-style architecture in the entire state,” says Derrick. “I knew that it was the right fit for Dorothy. She’s unique

ON THE LAMB We may associate lamb with the arrival of spring, but here and throughout the world, we savor it year round. BY M A RY BROW N M ALOU F PHOTOS BY A DA M FI NK LE
L
ast year, the Australian Lamb Board caused a big flap with an advertisement featuring Jesus, Ganesha, Moses, Zeus and other deities sitting together and enjoying a lamb feast. The ad caused a lot of controversy, but the message was clear, no matter how you took the medium: Lamb is one of the most-consumed meats in the world. And one of the most symbolic. We eat it in spring to herald the fresh season, and we crave it year round.
Lamb chops at Saffron Valley are served in a Chettinad curry along with a semolina cake and spice-roasted vegetables.

DINING IN & OUT
World of flavors All lamb-eating cultures have added signature spices that make the meat their own.
Greek: oregano and lemon
Lamb Seekh Kebabs from Saffron Valley in SLC.
Indian: coriander
Lamb in Translation Lavanya Mahate, owner of Saffron Valley, enlightens us about lamb in Indian food. “INDIA IS A DIVERSE COUNTRY with over 1.3 billion people. Nearly 80 percent of the population is Hindu, and Muslims are the largest minority at around 15 percent,” says Lavanya Mahate, owner of Saffron Valley. “Hindus refrain from eating beef, and Muslims do not eat pork. So it’s no wonder that chicken is the most popular choice of meat followed by goat and lamb, frequently called mutton in India. Americans are still wary of eating goat, so lamb usually replaces it on menus in Indian restaurants in America, though goat is being more accepted gradually. Although goats and lambs are both slaughtered when young, are classified as red meat and are closely related, they are two different species. In India, goat meat ranges in color from light pink to bright red. It is better suited to long, slow cooking over low temperatures to preserve the moisture and break down the collagen in the meat. A sheep in its first year is a lamb. The meat varies in color from a tender pink to a pale red. In general, the darker the color, the older the animal. There is more fat on lamb, fewer bones, and a less gamy flavor than goat.

Warm spices such as cardamom, cloves and cinnamon are used with lamb, as are fragrant ones such as fennel seeds and saffron along with the famous Kashmiri red chilies, ginger and garlic that add great depth and complexity to lamb dishes. Lamb is often braised and slowcooked in yogurt or milk to cut the gamy smell, replacing it with a creamy and aromatic taste.” Lavanya Mahate
Chinese: cumin
Syrian: zaatar
French: rosemary, garlic
Lebanese: allspice

Pasture to Plate
A Utah tradition
JAMIE GILMORE’S FAMILY has been raising lamb for generations, but in 2001, he and his wife Linda started marketing Morgan Valley Lamb to Utah’s burgeoning restaurant scene. The sweet organic meat became a chef’s staple and the family story, a media darling. In 2012, Gilmore’s family decided they wanted to sell the ranch, and it looked like the end of the line for lamb.
Then Wes Crandall, owner of another heritage Utah ranch, Jones Creek Beef, stepped in. Crandall’s family used to raise lambs, and he was determined not to let another old family business disappear. “I got together with Jamie and offered to run Morgan Valley Lamb as part of Jonas Creek, preserving the brand and the continuing the philosophy of raising all-natural lamb—no hormones, no steroids. Jamie still has a hand in it.”
Lamb fell out of popularity for awhile, says Crandall, but people are rediscovering it in the context of other cuisines. Morgan Valley supplies lamb for shwarmas and kabobs, lamb belly and lamb bacon (great for the Jewish community), and bratwurst as well as chorizo and sausage with herbes de Provence— even the merguez sausages used in the Machine Gun sandwiches at Bruges Waffles & Frites. Morganvalleylamb.com
In Praise of the Butterflied Leg Slow-braised shank and seared lamb chops are the most popular cuts of lamb, but please, reconsider the leg. We don’t cook big cuts of meat as often as we used to—Sunday roast lamb with mint sauce and peas is rare now. And unlike Greek restaurants and tavernas, most of us don’t have a rotisserie grill. But ask your butcher to butterfly a leg, removing the bone and flattening the meat so you can grill it like a steak. Marinate it—olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and rosemary— and grill it for about 15 minutes per side to form a crust, then grill until a thermometer registers 145F for medium rare.
SPENCER’S 255 S. West Temple, SLC, 801-238-4748 Lavish double cut lamb chops rubbed with Moroccan spices, sided with tahini-potato puree and preserved peppers. Order two chops for $42 or three for $55. MANOLI’S 402 E. Harvey Milk Blvd., 801-532-3760 Little lamb riblets are called paidakia here—grilled and topped with a caper chimichurri and sea salt. $14 FIREWOOD ON MAIN 306 Main Street, Park City, 435-252-9900 Chef John Murcko serves a firegrilled lamb chop on chicory salad extravagantly accompanied by a confit duck leg on cassoulet. Of course, rosemary is involved. $43
