Tranquil O Bedroom Retreat
ur bedrooms should be a tranquil retreat that we look forward to after the stresses of the day. We spend more than a third of our lives sleeping and countless hours laying in bed, so why not create a Fivestar experience in your bedroom? A welcoming bed can make the difference between a good night sleep and one that leaves you tossing and turning, and the right bed can relieve pain and stress. Investing in a high-end mattress and premium bedding will combine to create the perfect sanctuary. “We understand the importance of a great night sleep,” says Andrew Mackie, founder and co-owner of Calgary’s premiere sleep store, Goldgrass Home. “We offer some of the world’s best luxury linens, pillows and mattresses, which are either organic or all-natural.”

Q& A This month we asked our contributors, what’s your favourite kitchen hack?
Amanda Ross, Writer “This Old House” page 26 When I bake a cake, I always leave the butter and eggs out the night before so they’re at room temperature when I’m ready to start—and I often add a teaspoon or so of vinegar to the batter to make it fluffier (the vinegar reacts with the baking soda).
Kyoko Fierro, Photographer “One to Watch” page 17 I use a sea-salt brine for fish and poultry. Cut your pieces to size and dip them in brine before storing in the fridge—the brine keeps the food longer, improves textures, and brings out umami flavour over the next couple of days!

A LITTLE FRENCH INSPIRATION
A couple of years ago, I walked around the Granville Island market in Vancouver with the U.S.-born and Paris-based chef and cookbook author David Lebovitz. We were meandering among the produce and baked goods—he was impressed with the yellow tangerines and Thai eggplants, and the fact that Canadians had access to raw-milk cheese like brie de Meaux—when he brought up the French concept of au pif. Essentially, it’s the philosophy of “cooking by the nose”—say, poking around a market like the one we were in, spotting a great pork loin, and deciding that it was going to be the star of the menu that night. A bunch of Swiss chard, a great bottle of red and an impromptu call to friends later, and a French chef could be whipping up the night’s dinner, sans recipe. No small part of that ease in the kitchen comes from having an arsenal of tips and tricks that have been passed down through the generations. In a food-loving culture like France— this is, after all, the country that claims to have a different cheese for every day of the year—it makes sense that the freedom to be imprecise in the kitchen originates in the act of simply cooking with others, be it grandparents, parents or friends, and learning along the way. For those of you who haven’t had the benefit of a grand-mère’s teachings, we’ve gathered up dozens of kitchen tips straight from our best source: top chefs from across the West (“How to Boil an Egg,” page 43). From simple concepts (the best way to prepare scrambled eggs) to easy dinner hacks (puff pastry for the win) to perfect substitutions (no birch syrup? Add a little molasses to your maple), each tip inches you a little closer to mastering the art of au pif. And for the real francophiles among you, we’ve also got an easy-to-nail-it tarte tatin recipe—that perfect combo of caramel, apples and pastry. You’ll very likely be able to replicate this slice of comfort food sans recipe the second time around, since that’s just how you’ll roll in the kitchen after reading this issue.

design trends, a shift that has many of us choosing experts to do-it-for-me. Do-it-yourself is a great choice for so many fun projects, like a family gallery wall, or finding a little spring bling. But there are always those mind-boggling tasks that require design experience, measuring skills, installation talent and more. More and more Canadians are realizing the cost of hiring a professional compares very well to the real costs of first-time mistakes, time spent doing and redoing the job, and our own personal level of satisfaction with the final result. Springtime motto: put the pros on the jobs you keep postponing because they are just too much! (Save the fun stuff for yourself.)
Warmer and richer? Yes, please. Whatever your style, from sleek and modern to cozy and traditional, 2017 is a welcome move to a softer, richer look and feel. Think 3D fabrics. Velvet pillows. Choose organic bamboo or wood tables. And wallpaper is back, but we’re over the florals. Try marble or other sleek, contemporary finishes. Put on a little lux.
Peace out. It’s amazing what getting a little help can do to reduce your stress level. Try it - take something off your list and give it to somebody who is a rock star in the category. Yes. Do it. Seriously.

Matthew Kennedy, Loom Lighting, Penticton, B.C. Sorry, Edison: incandescent lighting was great while it lasted, but illumination tech has come a long way— and Loom Lighting is looking to push it even further. The B.C.-based lighting design firm, run by Matthew Kennedy and Yves Gagnon, makes use of LED light guiding, an advanced, eco-friendly technology that conducts light through a medium—fibre opticsstyle—so the lampshade itself is the light source. Their latest prototype, Diaphanous (a sleek pendant inspired by the night sky) took second place at last year’s LAMP lighting design competition and will be on the market soon. “In this industry, people too often do designs for design’s sake. There are so many interesting advances in technology that are not being taken advantage of,” says Kennedy. Adds Gagnon: “We want to light the future.” —Andrea Garza

Jonathan Adler already has the earned reputation of being one of the most playful designers. (Have you seen his giraffe lamp? Love.) So when our team heard he was steering a new collection for Fisher-Price as their creative director, our reaction? Of course he is. (He also happens to be one of the judges for this year’s Western Living Designers of the Year awards, so lucky us.) His first collection has a focus on black and white graphics, wood and wire finishes and added touches of animal inspiration—and a little metallic, too. This Nixon printed canvas tote would look great in a nursery, of course—but just as sweet stacked with magazines in the family room.

SO FRESH
A Vancouver juice bar gets a light and airy look. Call it “Scandifornian.” Nectar co-founder Tori Holmes requested that the team at Kelly Deck Design give the space a balance between the modern aesthetic of the Northern European region and the laid-back, hippie-ish look of a certain coastal state down south. The finished room—a compact juice bar in Vancouver’s Gastown—embraces a pastel palette and airy feel that’s simultaneously minimalist and bohemian. And then there’s the custom content. “Everything’s been personalized to the space,” says Deck. The starting point was a wooden bar, made by Holmes’s father, that sits in the front window, lined by copper bar stools from Blu Dot, which, Deck adds, “get more character the more they’re used.” From there, custom millwork was designed by Lock and Mortar using pale, clean-cut Europly birch for a distinctly Scandinavian feel. Artfully integrated copper pipe lights by Western Living’s 2016 Industrial Designer of the Year, Matthew McCormick, add a warm glow; underfoot, the floors are lined with faded white and seafoam Moroccan tiles, which are made with concrete and have a wax finish. But the last homemade element might be the sweetest: the fresh-pressed juices on display do double duty, adding a pop of colour with their California-sunset hues.

Whether it’s restoring a feature fireplace or installing a vintage-inspired wallpaper (like the Cole and Son’s Woods print that lines the walls of this revamped Vancouver nursery), even the most modern of makeovers can nod respectfully to the past and breathe new life into a beautiful old design. Turn the page to get a peek into the gorgeous spaces from across the West that do just that.

Material World McLean worked with the Strathcona neighbourhood’s own Union Wood Co. to create the privacy screen at the front door and the living room’s industrial shelving (opposite), in torched oak, blackened steel, copper pipe and wired glass.
W
hen homeowners Meika and Jamie interviewed a seasoned contractor after purchasing their 1902 home back in 2012, his advice was clear: you need to live in the house before you renovate. Wise words to live by—if only the pair had listened. But they were too eager to wait. After all, they’d already spent years just finding the house in the first place. After having nearly given up on househunting altogether, they alighted on the heritage charmer in Vancouver’s Strathcona, the city’s oldest residential community. The couple loved that the 2,200-squarefoot house had high 10-½ -foot ceilings that created the illusion of more space, but there was no finished basement and the rest was chopped up—and the exterior was covered in 1970s-era stucco. Still, they fell in love. “We could see the potential,” says Meika. They immediately put forth plans to replace the stucco with original wood siding, finish the basement and gut the entire main and second floors, despite the contractor’s warning. Cue the old words about “best-laid plans.” “We felt a sense of urgency for no reason!” says Meika. “We dove into the renovation and it went terribly wrong.” They hadn’t hired someone who was familiar with old houses, she says. “He was a friend of a friend—a great guy, but in the condo business. I was never happy with the designs and then we were always changing our minds midstream,” she adds. “That’s huge: if you’re not content with the design, you can’t change things on the fly, since it costs a lot and no contractor wants to work with people like that!” The distraught pair pulled the plug after replacing the exterior siding and finishing the basement— and opted to live in the unfinished house mid-reno instead to regroup. Fast forward two years later, and a now-pregnant Meika needed to finally address those open, exposed walls. A recommendation from
Heritage Details DuChateau’s Trestle oiled white oak flooring has the patina of reclaimed building materials (while still being FSC-certified) and matches the vintage stair treads and banister (top). Oh Baby With Cole and Son’s Woods paper on the walls, the nursery feels both modern and fairy talelike—a reinterpretation of a 1950s design (bottom).
their landscaper, Aloe Designs, put them in touch with Tanya McLean of Mango Design, who coincidentally happened to recommend Claudio Ance as contractor: that very same contractor who had so wisely counselled them to live in the house when they first contemplated renovating. And he lived in the same neighbourhood. “We knew we were now in the right hands,” says Meika. From the outset, the couple was clear on one thing—they wanted a design that would stand the test of time. “It needed to be timeless and not look like a 2015 renovation 10 years from now,” says Meika. They also wanted to retain the heritage elements while modernizing but also weave in a masculine aesthetic. All of which dovetailed with Tanya’s ethos: “I love working on old homes because you can feel their soul. This inspires the way we design the space—we definitely want to work with the home’s integrity, not against it.” Inspiration came from the palette of an old private investigator’s office: old wood, wired glass, vintage cool. Part of the task was to create a space that was both functional for the family and for their myriad entertaining needs—they love impromptu gatherings with friends and family. The main floor now doubles as party HQ, thanks to the removal of a structural wall that ran through it. New structural beams stand in for much-needed support, while a dining hutch and coat closet hide the mechanical guts of the house. With the dividing wall gone, natural light now floods the space. A large Douglas fir window was added over the kitchen sink—which connects the space visually to the backyard—and the mudroom’s walls were removed to create a more open vibe. Tanya had also presented the couple with two kitchen palettes: lighter and airier or darker and more classic with white oak stained in Benjamin Moore’s Black Beauty. The couple opted for black. “People are often afraid of black cabinets and feel they’re too dark—but with the white countertops, backsplash and paint, plus the new kitchen window, the space feels rich but not at all too dark,” says Tanya. In a surprise twist, Meika went into labour six weeks early. The house, not yet finished, was telling them it wanted them to move in. Claudio wrapped up his work, and the couple soon enjoyed six months each with their newborn during their respective parental leaves. “It was such a nice space to have one-on-one time with the baby,” enthuses Meika. “It’s been the perfect space to celebrate with friends and family.” It was also the perfect end to their renovation tale—and the start of a new chapter in the home’s story. S e e w e S t e r n l i v i n g .c a f o r S o u r c e S
“I love working on old homes because you can feel their soul. This inspires the way we design the space—we definitely want to work with the home’s integrity, not against it.” Stylish Transition Covered in white 3D tiles made of natural plant fibre, the reimagined room divider (top left) serves as a focal point to the main floor. Leather pulls on the millwork add a masculine vibe to the home bar. Pattern Play The Deco Diamonds wallpaper from Graham and Brown in the powder room (top right) served as inspiration elsewhere, too: McLean created an inlay tile in the front foyer that’s an echo of this pattern. Home Sweet Home “We made so many mistakes in the first round,” says homeowner Meika (pictured right, with baby Morogh). “But once we met Tanya and her partner Nichol, we knew we’d made the right decision.”

Eclectic Design Each room is an exercise in creativity: in the dining room, the chandelier is two fixtures layered with a dozen peculiar items (including a fly swatter and doll’s head) and spraypainted black. In the master bedroom (opposite), the reading light is actually an antique dental lamp. 3 4 a p r i l 2 0 1 7 / westernliving.ca
Certainly, the eclectic chandelier is a conversation starter, but it’s not the most unusual piece in a house whose inhabitants can lay claim to being first to hire Hardy as an interior decorator.

he boundless mind and energy of Paul Hardy—the renowned Winnipeg-born fashion designer whose fan base includes Kate Hudson, Daniel Lanois and the late Carrie Fisher—can be grasped, if only fractionally, via a chandelier that hangs in the dining room of a home in Elbow Valley, just west of Calgary. Three feet in length and half as wide, the piece comprises two Home Depot fixtures mashed together and strung with a dozen peculiar items—a fly swatter, a vintage doll’s head and other antique toys—all spray-painted solid, glossy black. Certainly, it’s a conversation starter (one-half of the homeowner couple hated it until his dinner guests went nuts for it), but it’s not the most unusual piece in a house whose inhabitants can lay claim to being first to hire Hardy as an interior decorator. A couple of years ago, amid several other enviable achievements, including designing costumes for Sarah McLachlan’s ballet and launching a hit shearling collection, Hardy curated an exhibit at Calgary’s Glenbow Museum. Kaleidoscopic Animalia examined the
human relationship with animals via fashion and fabric, historical artifacts and artwork culled largely from Glenbow’s archives. Interestingly, the theme of the exhibit was influenced by thinking Hardy had done in conceiving the soul of this idiosyncratic Elbow Valley house a year earlier. Hardy met one of the homeowners several years ago when she started buying his ready-to-wear collection. They forged a friendship and, when she told him she was confounded by her new family home (chosen in part due to its proximity to family), Hardy came out to take a look, with the intention of guiding her toward the most suitable of his interior-design friends. “She was overwhelmed at the idea of decorating it—it’s enormous and was brand new and billed as ‘French country’ by the builder,” says Hardy. He reassured his friend that the flow of the house was well designed and the physical spaces mindfully considered, and he left with the promise of a recommendation. His friend, meanwhile, couldn’t shake the feeling that the best designer to interpret her westernliving.ca / a p r i l

vision of a “dark and brooding” home layered with exquisite learning opportunities for her kids was Hardy. “I guess she could see that I understood what she loved, the way I mixed materials and old and new in my [Inglewood] boutique,” says Hardy. “She and her husband knew that, because of my business, I’d only be able to slowly chip away at their house. They were okay with that.” It took nearly four years, but today they’re delighted with a home that suits their busy lives with young kids and embodies the robust range of their passions and personalities. In almost comical contrast to the deeply personal and wildly eclectic furniture, artwork and objects in this house was the couple’s starkly modernist former home. As Hardy puts it, “That was a nice house, but nobody would guess who lived there. It had no reflection of who they were or their personality or interests.” As if fleeing from a fire, the couple left their old digs with literally nothing but artwork and one end table; everything in their new house was custom-designed and -built (including several light fixtures and bookshelves by local industrial artist Cory Barkman) or hand-picked by Hardy. “I’m very much a storyteller in my clothing collections, and I do everything with a lot of intention,” he says. “I approached this project in the same manner.” Here, virtually everything the eye or foot lands on illuminates, educates or otherwise gives curious pause. “My friend wanted everything in the house to be a point of learning for her kids about their family, about history, art, design, colour theory and the couple’s interests,” he explains.

Family Zone Hardy had a door removed to fit the custom oversized sofa into the bonus room— perfect for the whole family to cozy up in. And when the kids want a more intimate space to hang out, he created an indoor camping experience for them (below)— complete with fabric marshmallows on sticks.
residents and adult visitors alike are a rooster skeleton in the living room, a vintage working pay phone in the ensuite, an antique dental lamp in the master bedroom, a tiny Victorian-era princess-and-thepea bed in the kitchen, a Great Lakes-printed rug in the office and—of particular interest to the over-18 crowd—a dazzlingly stocked wine cellar built entirely out of materials reclaimed from an old mercantile in France, with the racks, pallets, and flooring all reclaimed from French vineyards. Books abound on puzzling shelves all over the house, and every chair evokes a question or conversation (some answers include, “yes, that’s ostrich hide, yes, those are movie theatre seats and, yes, indeed, that’s lingerie elastic”). As a fashion designer, Hardy has long proven his storytelling savvy: every collection, no matter how eclectic, is bound by a subtle but compelling narrative arc. And that holds true with his first interior, whose animalia narrative was born out of the homeowners’ collection of artwork. “I noticed that almost all of it featured animals: bears, buffalo, birds, beavers, et cetera,” says Hardy. “Oddly, when I asked my friend about it, she admitted that she hadn’t even realized the animal focus— they’d just been drawn to each piece individually.” With characteristic intention, Hardy drew the theme out in ways both overt (a cheerful polar bear in the dining room) and subtle (hunting-dog wallpaper on a pantry wall) . It works because, moving through this functional, captivating museum of a house, you don’t so much see the theme as feel it: wild, unpredictable, organic, earthy. A natural habitat for a family seeking a wilder life. 3 8 a p r i l 2 0 1 7 / westernliving.ca

Cook Like a Pro These days, chefs fall somewhere in between priests and politicians for the rarefied place they occupy in our foodobsessed society. And while many of them are enjoying a moment in the sun, for the most part they’ve spent their careers working insanely long hours (in often dismal conditions) before they ever get to don the “head chef” whites. So with that in mind, we’re mining them for the secrets they learned on the way up. Which knives are great, which are garbage? Should I buy a sous-vide machine? And how come hard-boiling eggs is so tricky? The answers to these questions and more start on page 43.

The Best Way To: preserve a bunch of cilantro:
Cut an inch off the base and place it in a jar of water. It will extend its life for a few more days and keep it fresh. —Christine Beard, Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts
make mac and cheese with real cheese:
Add sodium citrate (Amazon sells it) to the milk before adding the cheese to get a super-smooth emulsified cheese sauce. —Tobias MacDonald, Vancouver Community College Culinary Arts
preserve used vanilla bean pods:
Dry them and then grind them in a coffee grinder! —Thomas Haas, Thomas Haas Chocolates
preserve truffles:
Keep them dry; moisture will make them go bad quickly. You can keep them wrapped in a paper towel (but change the towel daily). Most importantly, they should be in an airtight container, on the top shelf of your fridge. That way you can keep them for over a week. —Jean-Claude Douget, Gotham

Immerse it in water. —Mariana Gabilondo, La Mezcaleria

Press it to release excess moisture. —Christine Beard
HOW TO PREP RARE TUNA LIKE A PRO First prepare a crust or topping (I like chopped parsley, lemon zest and edamame bean, for example—a Japanese gremolata). Then, quickly poach the tuna loin in dashi or miso soup by plunging it in for 30 seconds, pulling it out and rolling the whole loin in your choice of topping. This way the tuna loin is cooked evenly all around when you slice it into medallions and you see the cross-section; it’s also guaranteed to stay nice and tender because it never had a hard sear or caramelization to close up the pores after its dashi bath. This also allows the tuna to absorb more of the oils from the herbs and lemon zest. —Darren Brown

ALL THINGS EGGY
A simple egg dish isn’t always as easy as it seems, so we assembled an all-star cast to walk you through the process. Omelette Us Help YOU
For the perfect truffle omelette, combine 3 eggs, 1 tbsp of heavy cream, ¼ tsp black truffle paste, salt and pepper. Give the mixture a 10-second whisk with a fork. Pour into a scorching-hot black steel pan coated with 2 tbsp of clarified butter. Turn heat off and let sit until the top of the egg mixture is glistening. Then roll and fold. —Thomas Haas
Hard-BOiled perfectiOn

easY, Over easY
Heat olive oil over medium heat. Crack egg into the hot oil. Once the bottom and edges are white, add 4 tbsp of water and cover with lid. Cook to desired consistency. —Christine Beard
perfect pOacH
Do not boil the water—simmer it. Add 2 tbsp of vinegar per 2 litres of water. Place a cracked egg in a small bowl and gently slip it into the simmering water. Simmer about 3 minutes or until the desired doneness. Remove egg with a slotted spoon, then drain on a paper towel before adding to the dish. —Colleen McClean
scramBle On
You want the pan to be at the appropriate temperature before adding the eggs. Canola oil and butter work the best. Olive oil is nice, but it has a lower smoke point and a stronger flavour that could overpower the eggs. A nice touch is to add 4 to 5 small chunks of cold butter to your scrambled egg mix. As the eggs cook, the butter melts and mixes with the eggs, giving a nice shine and flavour. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the eggs are almost cooked through. Remove from stove. The carry-over heat will cook the eggs the rest of the way without overcooking. If you overcook eggs, the proteins release their water content, resulting in a soupy end product. —Adam Perrier, Café Medina

Get Cleaning
Breville BsB510xl Control Grip Hand Blender
One of the best low-cost tools many chefs love is the stick or immersion blender. A good stick blender is awesome. A great one can be found for around $100 and a serviceable one for half that. “You can use it for soups, dressings, smoothies, hummus . . . the list goes on,” says Colleen McClean of the Art Institute of Vancouver.
What’s the trick to cleaning baked-on grease and food? Returning the pot to the stove or oven and leaving it to soak over gentle heat with a few tablespoons of Sapadilla (made in Vancouver!) all-purpose or counter cleaner. Don’t let it boil and bubble. It even cleans hood-fan grease filters.
vitamix Blender
On the higher end of the scale is the beloved— but pricey—Vitamix. And while it’s tempting to buy a cheaper brand, most chefs caution against it. “Vitamix blenders are the best! Great for smoothies, soups, sauces and grinding grains. Very durable and versatile, and worth the money,” says Michael Allemeier of SAIT— a view supported by David Gunawan of Farmer’s Apprentice, Bobby Milheron of Boulevard and Josh Gale of Juniper.

A classic Weber charcoal grill is $150, so why do so many chefs (like Jason Sussman from Tacofino and Tobias MacDonald from Vancouver Community College) rave about the $1,000 Japanese-style Kamado cooker known as the Big Green Egg? For starters, you can use it to grill or smoke, or use it just like a regular oven—and it’s ceramic, so it’s far more efficient and durable than steel. “People spend over $10,000 on their stoves or over $3,000 on a gas barbecue. I personally have had many barbecue units in my life. None have I used as much as the Green Egg. None have I enjoyed as much as the Green Egg. I think it’s the best investment a foodie or chef can make for their backyard,” says Angus An of Maenam, who features his Big Green Egg a lot on his Instagram feed.
