OF THE SOUL

hat influences one’s soul is as mysterious as it is undefined in any qualitative form. Such when the soul is set for others, when selfless giving abounds, its gift to humanity is even more immeasurable. A human being’s interest and dedication to their fellow man and woman is unique and individual in its origin. Zac Brown, long before his business and financial success allowed for it, was plotting his dedication to helping others. There were no financial or resource seeds in his dedication to this lifelong spirit; he had limited means! It was the set of his soul that formed Zac Brown’s compass in helping humanity, and the passions he finds in his noble efforts. My father, Mark Davis, inspired and spearheaded our family businesses for four decades, and so his inspiration continues today. My father’s belief in the “set of the soul” found its way into all that we did in those decades and, still, all that we do today. He lives by a credo born in a poem, “The Winds of Fate” by Ella Wheeler Wilcox; he named it his favorite. It is in that sense of soul that Cambria and Zac Brown, along with Zac’s wife, Shelly, found our kindred spirit, common bonds, and mutual interest in helping others. Our friendship formed because of these parallels.

Ms. Wilcox has it right!

The Winds of Fate One ship drives east and another drives west With the self-same winds that blow; ‘Tis the set of the sails And not the gales That tells them the way to go.

Like the winds of the sea are the winds of fate As we voyage along through life; ‘Tis the set of the soul That decides its goal And not the calm or the strife.

SIMPLE MAGIC

LOUANN BERGLUND HAAF Editor-in-Chief

t’s amazing how, when you stop overthinking and go with the flow, things start to come together. Just ask our cover star, musician Zac Brown. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the theory more accurately put to the test than during my time spent at Camp Southern Ground, the project that’s closest to his heart. A camp for kids (oh, but it’s so much more), Southern Ground is difficult to describe in words. I know that sounds like a lazy declaration from an Editor-in-Chief. But, once you get a sense of the complete story and how it comes full circle (which it does with impossible ease), the interlocking of music, entrepreneurship, humanitarianism, design, and patriotism—all wrapped around educating our children to be better humans—makes the camp’s origin story feel truly… epic. Yet, somehow, at the end of it all, also… simple.

Magic happens when you allow things to be true to themselves. Children, ideas, design, even food—it really applies to every aspect of life. In this issue, you will see that formula in action from the first page to the last. Gorgeous rooms with rich gold accents and bold stones crop up throughout. They might seem anything but restrained; yet, allow these strong elements ample room to breathe, and instead of overwhelming the eye, they magically become the beating heart of a space. In that same spirit, an uncomplicated but beautiful loaf of bread that sits unassumingly in a breadbasket (yes, I have one of those) can quietly become the soul of countless meals. A smooth tequila, too, given the chance to shine in all its nuanced flavor and aroma, can make an evening in. It’s the simplest things that can become epic, if only we let them.

Enjoy,

DRESS CODE

STEVE HENKE

Your dapper duds are only as stylish as where you hang them, so opt for a custom closet that captures your personal style.

ISLAND LIVING

HANGING OUT

Not just for the kitchen anymore, an island is an effective way to add valuable real estate to a walk-in closet, where it can make excellent use of often-wasted space with customizable drawers for jewelry, wallets, and other small accessories.

Even the best-planned closet in the world won’t preserve your favorite wardrobe staples if you don’t follow a few cardinal rules: say no to wire hangers, prevent wrinkles by avoiding overcrowding, and fold (don’t suspend) your sweaters to keep them shapely.

CUTTING EDGE

MADE TO FIT

Dress up your island by adding sculptural hardware and topping it off with a stone slab that has a powerful and eye-catching edge—like this one in Cambria— that reflects and plays with the light like an emerald-cut gem.

There’s no such thing as an awkward or unusable space inside the closet.

Even the smallest nook can become a go-to catchall for belts and hats or the perfect hideaway for treasured old photo albums, scrapbooks, or memorabilia.

The unexpected gray tint of this delicate stemware adds an edgy spin to a tabletop staple.

Mix and match finishes, from porcelain to silver and wood, for a curated, contemporary feel.

Entertaining gets a majorly modern upgrade thanks to luminous black expanses, simple but shapely silhouettes, and peek-a-boo gold tones.

STYLE TIPS

Thanks to the extrathick bevel edge of the Cambria Levven Matte tabletop, its wide, dramatic veining can be seen from any angle for maximum visual impact.

STEVE HENKE

Pairing matte black flatware with smooth, unembellished dishes in a decidedly mod palette allows the table’s statementmaking design to take center stage.

KITCHEN

Keep the palette from becoming too stereotypically nautical by reaching for blue-grays over heavy-handed aqua or bright cerulean. “It’s perfect for the Hamptons—a soft, soothing shade that echoes the sky,” says designer Scott Sanders. Here, the kitchen island is painted Benjamin Moore’s Gray Timber Wolf, which has just a tinge of blue. The cool-toned paint plays well against the warm wirebrushed oak floor: “It’s all about balance,” explains designer Tracie West Irving.

“This galley-style pantry, reminiscent of the old sculleries, allows for a hardworking space that hides the chaos,” notes contractor Scott Busyn. As a bonus: “It can double as a bar,” adds Sanders.

No study? No problem! Tuck a chair and desk beneath sunny windows, like this bite-sized workspace snuck into a hall between the pantry and kitchen.

Jazzy wallpaper can add a welcome flash of intrigue to any entry. “It keeps an ordinary pass-through space from being boring,” Irving explains.

“This room should be built around not only its purpose, but its user,” says Busyn. “Accessibility and natural light are all-important.” To inject some fun, don’t be afraid to mix patterns, like florals and gingham, even in the same room. “And don’t forget the floor!” adds Floersch.

“It’s an overlooked place to add interest.”

KITCHEN

Dave and Jamie Van Dixhorn wanted the strong statement of a white waterfall island, but were not sold on the upkeep of marble. “With three kids, we didn’t want to worry about surfaces being scratched or stained; the ongoing maintenance was simply not an option. So for us, Cambria was the perfect choice,” says Jamie.

S T Y L E

Self-described Chicago city slickers Dave and Jamie Van Dixhorn and their three young children uprooted from the Windy City to the small town of Kohler, Wisconsin, hankering for a complete change of lifestyle.

“We wanted to give our kids the childhood we had,” explains Jamie. “Playing outside, being a part of nature.” But they also wanted to keep a little of that urban feel they had come to love over years spent living in trendy converted lofts: things like open-plan living, huge warehouse windows, and spare, industrial materials.

What they didn’t want from condo living was the lack of entertaining space or the continual up and down ping-pong of endless elevator travel. “We thought being on one level would provide more togetherness as a family,” says Dave, explaining how they settled on a ranch-style home around a courtyard. (Spoiler alert: it did.) As this was to be their forever home, a single story would also allow them to stay in the home as they age. (“Not necessarily a sexy consideration, but something we had to think about nonetheless,” notes Jamie.)

Scouring the market for a woodsy retreat, Dave stumbled upon a picture-perfect plot: two acres of prime woods with big tall oak trees, and even its own creek. They bought it, and so began the 18-month process of razing the existing abode and building their dream home. The goal? “We knew we wanted to design something that was significant architecturally.”

“As we were laying out the master, the space began to seem tight—the opposite of how we wanted the house to feel,” explains Dave. “So, we put the bath outside instead, and it turned out to be a really cool space.” Kohler’s Abrazo bathtub was chosen for its ability to withstand the elements, even snow.

The backdrop is a wall of rusted Cor-Ten steel, providing privacy from the road.

black box clad in charred cypress: an ancient Japanese technique called shou sugi ban.

“We liked that it was bold,” Dave says, “and easy to maintain. Charring makes the wood rot-resistant. There are homes in Japan that have had it for 200 years and their owners haven’t had to do anything to them.”

The surprise of the house is that this moody exterior of black wood melts away when one walks inside and discovers the other side of the house is wall-to-wall glass.

“In the Midwest, where the outdoor season is so limited, being able to have nature surround and almost overwhelm us was so important,” Jamie relates. As the seasons change, from autumn’s red and gold to winter’s bare brown and summer’s lush green, it’s the view that provides pops of color to the home’s neutral design palette.

As Jamie puts it: “We don’t have a great deal of art. Really, the art is the woods outside the windows.”

Cambria design shown: Ella

CS17_26_DesignFeat_Kohler.indd 29

So how would the couple sum up their home? “Tidy!” says Dave with a laugh.

“There are not a lot of objects to demand your attention, and that creates a peaceful environment.” Love of such modern minimalism—and the demands of a young family—drove the couple’s choice of Cambria stone, which tops all counters and defines the streamlined fireplace in two epic, seamless slabs. “We wanted the look and feel of natural stone, but not the worry that goes along with it. Cambria is just effortless, while still looking the part.”

The couple love cozying up by that fireplace come winter. But during the rest of the year, they can most often be found on the expansive porch, whether hosting a dinner for visiting friends, kicking back with the kids, or relaxing with a glass of wine and a good book. It’s safe to say, these city slickers haven’t looked back.

CAST ABOUT

A peek at the super-exclusive Japanese art of makkyo, which is so rare that there is only one craftsman, Yamamoto Akihisa, making these “magic mirrors” in Japan today. Each bronze mirror is two-sided, featuring a smooth, reflective front and an embossed, decorated back. Its mystical properties are revealed when light is shone on the solid, polished face, which through an as-yet-unexplained scientific phenomenon somehow filters illumination through the back of the mirror, casting its pattern in shadow on the nearest solid surface.

S

ociety’s fascination with mirrors started long before Snow White’s stepmother asked that now-famous question in the well-known Brothers Grimm fairy tale from the early 1800s.

In fact, historians have found primitive mirrors crafted from polished stone and obsidian dating as far back as 6000 BC in ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia and in China, where materials like bronze, copper, and tin were flattened and buffed to a sheen and prized by the wealthy families who were the only ones that could afford them.

It’s hard to believe that something so ubiquitous today— in nearly every room of the home, staring back at you in your car’s rearview mirror, and even in the compact in your purse—was once such a rare commodity. But when looking at the evolution of the mirror, it’s easy to elevate it

from functional ware to a dazzling work of art, considering the skilled labor responsible for taking it through its many iterations. From physicists to silversmiths, brilliant minds put many hours into creating these reflective surfaces—that is, until German chemist Baron Justus von Liebig invented a new kind of mirror in 1835 thanks to an innovative technique that used a silver nitrate compound to evenly coat the metal onto thin sheets of glass.

While mirrors are now easily mass-produced, there are still those eager to preserve the magic that once made them so covetable. For the last 10 years, John McWilliam, owner and founder of Milwaukee’s Scathain, has been crafting custom mirrors that rely on Old World techniques to disrupt the way people interact with their reflections.

“We call them anti-vanity mirrors,” he smiles. “Sure, when

PICTURE PERFECT

Every mirror deserves a beautiful frame, like this one from the piece Scathain designed for Cambria.

See it on page 17.

I LOVE WHEN YOU FIRST POUR THE SILVER NITRATE ON THE GLASS. IT LOOKS LIKE WATER, BUT THEN, THE SILVER BEGINS TO APPEAR

BY ALCHEMY. IT’S MAGICAL. you walk by our pieces, you can straighten your tie or get broccoli out of your teeth, but we’d rather you be captured by the texture, beauty, and quality of the mirror itself.”

To achieve his mirrors’ unique aesthetic, McWilliam borrows from Liebig, but then adds his own approach to finishing. While most mirrors require that their metal coatings be rendered carefully and polished to perfection, McWilliam adheres the silver nitrate to the glass with Pollack-like finesse and then turns up the heat, literally— applying a torch or other chemical agents to tarnish the metal and speed up the aging process. The result is a oneof-a-kind piece that looks like it came straight from the art gallery—with a mix of delicate drips, painterly strokes and a vintage patina with varying levels of translucence and wear.

It’s a process that’s only slightly less dangerous than

the old practice of making mirrors by pressing mercury between two glass planes, but for McWilliam, the pursuit of craft is worth it. “We have a lot of fun here, but sometimes there is a moment of fear when you’ve got a big torch in one hand and a bottle of acid in the other and you’re standing in a puddle of acetone,” he says with a laugh.

Luckily, at the moment, the only thing on fire is Scathain’s growing reputation. The demand for mirrored accents in décor—from mantel-top statement-makers to antiqued mirror tile backsplashes—has led to collaborations with first-rate companies like Ann Sacks and Kohler. For McWilliam, though, his favorite part remains the same: “I love when you first pour the silver nitrate on the glass. It looks like water, but then, the silver begins to appear by alchemy. It’s magical.”

By C A R O L L I N N

BEFORE ZAC BROWN WAS THE ZAC BROWN, BEFORE THE MULTIPLE GRAMMY AWARDS, before the Billboard number-one albums and the record-breaking concert attendance—with tens of thousands of fans on their feet—he was a Georgia kid spending every summer at camp. Late at night, when the other kids were in their cabins, Zac would watch, enraptured, as the counselors around the campfire played their guitars, strumming, improvising, and letting the music flow. He himself was being classically trained, so this kind of informal creativity felt new to him. He decided to join in, and began to play with nothing specific in mind. Inspiration sparked—and nothing was ever the same. Summer camp changed Zac’s life forever. At 14, he told his parents, “Someday, I’m going to build my own camp.”

single “tribe,” experiencing the joys of outdoor life, while supporting and learning from each other, and having their own lives transformed. “Camp changed my life,” says Zac. “My hope for the children that come to Camp Southern Ground is that they find something inside themselves they never knew was there or that just needed some encouragement to come out. Camp is where I found my passion for music, and if coming to this camp can set one camper on a path to fighting for their dream and making it a reality then the work we’ve done here is worth it.”

“It’s funny how it’s the little things in life that mean the most,” Zac sings in his first mega-hit, “Chicken Fried,” and campers will find those simple little pleasures everywhere at CSG: archery, hiking, a climbing and ropes course, singing and performing skits by the campfire.

do almost anything else, they create a ‘full value contract,’” explains Stan Tucker, CSG’s program director. “That’s seven rules that the kids write themselves. I give them the first two: ‘Treat everyone the way you want to be treated,’ and ‘Be open to new things.’ Everyone signs the contract, which means they abide by those rules.” In this atmosphere of acceptance, kids bloom and change.

Counselor Mikayla Davis marveled the day one of the campers “had only one scone left on his plate, and he cut it into equal pieces so everyone around him could share.”

Support for those who serve in the military has always been a big part of who Zac is, so not surprisingly, there’s an ongoing emphasis on patriotism at CSG. At daily flag raising and lowering ceremonies, that lesson goes deep. Joey Jones, a retired USMC sergeant who lost his legs in Afghanistan and now serves as a camp spokesman, explains that “the ultimate form of patriotism is loving the strangers

you pass on the street just because you share this country with them. Patriotism is appreciating them for whom they are, not for what they look like.

Loving them in a way that says you want them to be happy and safe, and you’re willing to work for that. Learning that we’re not inherently able to speak our minds—that there’s a cost our military men and women pay every day: that’s something every kid who comes through camp will learn. In that, we serve the military community, but also the country at large.”

Zac Brown’s always done things his way. He won’t be contained or easily defined. Recently, he expanded his fan base by recording new work that includes rock and electronic dance music, simply because, as he explains it, “I have so much music in me.”

And doing things “his way” doesn’t just apply to music. Zac has the kind of restless intelligence that drives classroom teachers nuts, but later produces empires. His dozens of businesses, many gathered C A M B R I A U S A . C O M / S T Y L E

o one eats a Manila street vendor’s whole baby chicken with more gusto than Andrew Zimmern. His eyes twinkle as he reaches for a deep-fried morsel, then he raises one eyebrow and offers a puckish smile. “Mmm, I’m telling you, the beak is the best part.”

There’s no question that the shock-and-ick factor of Zimmern’s Bizarre Foods series helped make the show a Travel Channel hit and turned the 56-yearold chef into the award-winning head of a foodbased multimedia empire. (Bizarre Foods alone has spawned four spin-offs.) But go behind the curtain with Zimmern at his new Minnesota headquarters, and you will meet a man who wants his fans to look beyond his bug-eating to learn about other cultures. “We need to engage in patience, tolerance, and understanding—and I think we can learn to do that through food,” he says. “The question that governs everything I do is ‘will it leave the world a better place?’” With that philosophy guiding him, Zimmern has not only found an astonishing level of success, but has finally been able to achieve the equilibrium he’s always craved: to make the work he does match who he is inside.

It hasn’t been easy. The only child of smart, sophisticated New Yorkers, Zimmern lived a charmed childhood, traveling to Europe and Asia with his parents, and embracing each new cuisine so happily that “by the time I was five, they knew I was going to be in the food business.” Then, trauma hit. When Zimmern was six, his parents divorced. Seven years

later, his mother fell into a coma after routine surgery, and suffered permanent brain injury.

The teenage Zimmern numbed himself with alcohol and a constellation of drugs, retreating into “a very dark world.” He made it through college, though, and during the 1980s made a career cooking and running some of New York’s top restaurants.

But the clash between outer success and his fragile inner self was intolerable. “I felt like the world was a dangerous, scary place,” he remembers. “I was trying to define myself by what other people thought of as success. Everything was about me—shiny objects and the acquisition of things. I was a user of people and a taker. I thought that was the only way to get ahead.”

His substance abuse skyrocketed, turning him into “an everything addict,” and “the guy you crossed the street to avoid.” An intervention by friends sent him to rehab at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation in Minnesota, where he began to redefine his approach to life. “I was sprinkled with dignity and respect, which I didn’t deserve but got anyway,” he says. “It’s amazing what that can do to rehydrate a shriveled human soul. I found a different set of principles to live by—including a regular spiritual practice and community—that wasn’t based on putting me first.”

He has lived in Minnesota—and stayed sober—ever since. He and his wife, Rishia Haas, married in 2002, and three years later, their son, Noah, was born. A reentry into the restaurant business brought success, but the feeling of imbalance returned: “I felt I needed a bigger audience,” he says by way of explaining his next unorthodox move: He quit and began reaching out to the growing food-media world for new opportunities.

No one responded, so he took yet another gamble,

I KNEW FROM THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS THAT IF I WORKED HARDER THAN EVERYONE ELSE AND MADE MYSELF INDISPENSABLE, SOMEONE WOULD HIRE ME. 4 4

BULLSEYE:

ANDREW THROWS OUT HIS BEST TIPS Cooking knives are a chef’s artistic tools.

Andrew Zimmern owns 500 and loves every one. (He now buys only from custom knife makers, which he confesses “is sort of cultish and weird.”)

He says that a good home cook needn’t be so extreme.

Go for the basics: a slicing knife; a serrated knife (contrary to popular belief, it can be sharpened); and a chef’s knife big enough to dice and chop. The latter of which “is the one knife everyone should own,” says Zimmern. Most knife sets include a 3-inch parer, but Zimmern finds a 4- to 5-inch blade more versatile.

setting out to learn the business by taking unpaid internships at a local magazine and radio and TV stations. “I knew from the restaurant business that if I worked harder than everyone else and made myself indispensable, someone would hire me.” In the end, all three of his employers did.

The first episodes of Bizarre Foods, born from his realization that “you can tell the history of people on a plate,” debuted in 2006, with even mainstream viewers praising Zimmern’s “serious appreciation for social and culinary diversity.” Since then he’s been busy expanding his empire, with titles like podcaster, book author, content production company head, and mass food entrepreneur all under his belt. One of his newer ventures, AZ Canteen, is bringing global cuisine to the most American of locales. “We’re serving food made with recipes I found on the road in the Levant in American baseball stadiums!” he says proudly.

Zimmern’s work has won him four ultra-prestigious James Beard Awards (the “Oscars of food”), and he’s been nominated for eight more. But he’s never forgotten his own struggles or his belief that it’s his duty to give back. His philanthropic efforts range from helping would-be chefs with entrepreneurial challenges and aiding special needs New Yorkers, to bringing comfort to families living without electricity in sub-Saharan Africa. Not surprisingly, he also works with and for organizations that focus on hunger and substance abuse. In fact, he even credits his professional achievements to his hard-won understanding of the need to be “other-centered.” “Spiritual practices can be paradoxical,” he says. “If you want to go left, practice going right. If you want to achieve for yourself, start doing things for other people. Once I stopped putting myself first, amazing things started to happen.”

The colorful array of companies and efforts that could be called “Zimmern World” found a

new home last year, when the chef moved all his businesses under one roof in St. Louis Park, just outside Minneapolis. The headquarters, where much of the magic happens, includes a 1400-square-foot test kitchen for trying out recipes, entertaining, brainstorming, and shooting videos. He gestures expansively as he offers a peek inside at the carefully designed space.

“Everything happens in the kitchen; it’s our company’s North Star.”

Zimmern, who’s traveled to dozens of countries on six continents, literally had the world at his disposal when it came to outfitting his own kitchen. For counters and backsplash, he chose Cambria natural stone in the new silky and lowsheen matte surface option. Zimmern also put Cambria counters in his family’s personal kitchen.

“Cambria’s a family-owned Minnesota company; so, as a local, I’d been aware of it for a long time,” he says. “As a culinary professional, I was especially impressed to learn its surface is nonporous and nonabsorbent, which reduces the potential for spreading harmful bacteria. I thought, ‘Wow, what a great brand asset—all you have to do to maintain it is wipe!’ Cambria really stands alone as a forward-thinking brand in its category. It performs beautifully and it looks beautiful as well.”

It’s anyone’s guess what new projects will emerge from Zimmern World, but it’s a fair guess that they’ll include elements of the exotic and an edge of adventure. It’s even more certain that they’ll be projects that feel right to Zimmern himself— projects from the heart. In fact, not long ago, one of his nearly 1.2-million Twitter followers sharply criticized him for posting a political comment. He replied with a tweeted shrug: “Meaningless in light of [the] bigger issue, which is to be yourself.” With a life that fell so profoundly out of balance and that he so painstakingly reclaimed and realigned, Zimmern is not about to be anything else.

TEST KITCHEN TALES Andrew Zimmern’s studio kitchen, designed by Shea Architects, is rich with an array of colors, metals, and wood finishes, and meets Zimmern’s need for flexibility with a cleverly movable center island and shelving units. The chef also relies on a dozen KitchenAid appliances (including several in a prep area that is hidden when he films). Work surfaces in Cambria Carrick, Clareanne, and Queen Anne designs complement the Nordic farmhouse look—and Cambria Matte’s low-sheen (and low-maintenance) option means there’s never glare under camera lights.

R E C I P E S SULLIVAN STREET BAKERY BREAD 1 Loaf

INGREDIENTS

3 cups all-purpose or bread flour, plus more for dusting ¼ tsp. instant yeast 1 ¼ tsp. salt Cornmeal or wheat bran for dusting, if desired DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt.

Add 1 5/8 cups water, and stir until blended; dough will be shaggy and sticky. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at least 12 hours, preferably about 18, at warm room temperature, about 70°F. Dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles. Lightly flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes. Using just enough flour to keep dough from sticking to work surface or to your fingers, gently and quickly shape dough into a ball. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour, wheat bran, or cornmeal; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour, bran, or cornmeal. Cover with another cotton towel and let rise for about 2 hours. When it is ready, dough will be more than double in size and will not readily spring back when poked with a finger. At least a half hour before dough is ready, heat oven to 450°F. Put a 6- to 8-quart heavy covered pot (cast iron, enamel, Pyrex, or ceramic) in oven as it heats. When dough is ready, carefully remove pot from oven. Slide your hand under towel and turn dough over into pot, seam side up; it may look like a mess, but that is OK. Shake pot once or twice if dough is unevenly distributed; it will straighten out as it bakes. Cover with lid and bake 30 minutes, then remove lid and bake another 15 to 30 minutes, until loaf is beautifully browned.

Cool on a rack.

3 Tbsp. butter or bacon fat (if available) 1 Tbsp. olive oil 4 large Vidalia onions, halved, thinly sliced Salt and pepper to taste 1 Tbsp. raw sugar 1 ½ cup dry white wine 6 cups beef broth 1 small bunch fresh thyme, tied 1 bay leaf 1 loaf Sullivan Street Bakery Bread (see recipe), sliced and halved (two half slices per bowl) 1 ½ cup Gruyère cheese, shredded Fresh thyme, for garnish

PAIR LIKE A PRO

DIRECTIONS

In a large Dutch oven, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, salt, and pepper.

Cook onions until softened, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Lower heat, sprinkle sugar over onions, cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are deep golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes more. Meanwhile, heat the broiler to high. Brush sliced bread with olive oil, arrange on a baking sheet, and broil until crisp but not browned, about one minute per side. Set aside. Add the wine to the onions and raise heat to high. Cook until almost all the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Add broth, thyme, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until broth has thickened, about 20 minutes. Place ovensafe bowls on a rimmed baking sheet; divide soup among bowls. Top each serving of soup with two toasts. Sprinkle shredded Gruyère evenly over toasts and soup. Carefully transfer baking sheet to oven and broil until cheese is melted and bubbling, 4 to 8 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme.

DECADENT GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

4 Tbsp. softened butter, 8 slices Sullivan Street Bakery Bread 4 oz. Gloucester cheese (or cheddar), shredded 4 oz. Gouda cheese, sliced 4 oz. Fourme d’Ambert (or other blue cheese), crumbled or sliced DIRECTIONS

Brush one side each of four slices of bread with one-half of the softened butter. With the buttered side of the bread down, divide the cheese evenly onto the unbuttered sides.

Top with remaining slices of bread. Brush top pieces with remaining softened butter. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, gently set two of the four sandwiches onto the skillet. Cover and let cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the bottoms are browned and the cheese is melting.

Carefully flip, cover, and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove sandwiches from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with the remaining two sandwiches.

Bake at 375°F for 5 minutes. Toss cubes.

Bake another 5 to 10 minutes, depending on how toasted you want them.

For an extra flavor boost, sprinkle croutons with chopped herbs, minced garlic, chili flakes, or Parmesan cheese before baking.

Elevate a classic: Spread a slice of fresh bread with the very best butter (try Kerrygold or Plugrá for a rich treat) and then sprinkle with Maldon sea salt.

Patrón, for example, brought and sippable as any of the world’s finest spirits, and Americans can’t get enough back the traditional 200-year-old process of them.

YOUNG OR OLD? 1

BLANCO Tequila falls into four categories based on the aging process. Blanco (also called silver, platinum, white, or plata) is clear and unaged; the flavor and sweetness of the agave is evident.

2

REPOSADO Reposado tequilas must be aged for at least two months, creating greater depth and an amber color.

3

ANEJO AND EXTRA-ANEJO Anejo and Extra-Anejo are aged for a minimum of one year and three years, respectively. “Anejo and ExtraAnejo are sipping tequilas,” says Rodriguez. “You want to taste them pure to appreciate their complexities.”

MEET YOUR MATCH

TASTING TIPS Like any fine wine or spirit, tequila is best tasted with the guidance of an expert.

But if you’re enjoying it at home, follow the advice of Patrón’s Antonio Rodriguez:

How to tell the best from the rest.

High or Low? Because it’s the agave itself that gives tequila most of its flavor, where and how that agave is grown makes a difference. “Weather conditions and the mineral content of the soil in the highlands of Jalisco produce agave that makes a sweeter, fruitier tequila, and that’s all we use at Patrón.” says Rodriguez. “Agave from the lowlands has a more herbaceous flavor profile.”

Pure or Mixed?

There are two main types of tequila: 100 Percent Blue Agave and Tequila Mixto (mixed). Mixto must contain at least 51-percent blue agave, but the rest is made up of other sugars, plus additions like caramel coloring, oak flavoring, glycerin, and sugar syrup. Many lower-end “gold” tequilas—the ones bartenders often use for mixed drinks or shots—are

Mixto, but fine tequilas are made solely from blue agave. You can tell which type you’re buying by reading the bottle: 100-percent blue agave will say “Tequila 100% de agave” or “Tequila 100% puro de agave.” Mixto tequila labels will only read “Tequila.”

1

“Serve tequila at room temperature. Cooler temperatures can mask the flavor profile, hiding the best flavors—and any defects.”

Straight or Cocktail?

While it’s true that fine tequila is smooth enough to sip like a scotch, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it in your favorite cocktails, says Rodriguez. The clean bite of Blanco tequila is perfect for a Margarita, he says, or mix it with grapefruit juice, club soda, and lime for a refreshing Paloma—or with your favorite Bloody Mary mix to make a Bloody Maria. Reposado tequila has a slightly spicier body that complements traditionally whiskey-based cocktails like the Manhattan—or swap out the gin in your favorite Tom Collins recipe for a Juan Collins.

T E M P E R AT U R E

DRINKING VESSEL

“A true tequila glass is similar to a Champagne flute, but they’re difficult to find outside of Mexico. So I always suggest a snifter, which helps to concentrate the aroma, so you can get all the details.”

DID YOU KNOW? Drinking fine tequila at room temperature—the way it is most often enjoyed in Mexico— is the best way to taste its full flavor profile.

3

“To really experience tequila, sip it neat, without ice. Salt and lime used to be added to alleviate the harsh flavor, but with a quality crafted tequila, you don’t need that.”

4

PERFECT PAIRINGS Of course tequila makes a great cocktail, but it’s just as suited to meals, says Rodriguez. Here, a few of his favorite combinations.

BLANCO | The fresh, clean taste of Blanco tequila is ideal with appetizers, “particularly something fresh and cold, like ceviche or salad.”

ANEJO | Balance the layers of detail in Anejo with a rich dish, or something spicy. “Beef goes well with Anejo, especially if it has a bold spice rub.”

REPOSADO | The depth of a Reposado complements a warmer, more flavorful dish very well.

“Try it with a complex soup, or even with chili.”

EXTRA ANEJO | Like the finest aged spirits, this one’s a natural for after-dinner sipping. “But there’s no reason not to drink it with dessert, too.

Maybe with something light and creamy like flan or crème caramel.”

I C E , S A LT, L I M E

NUMBERS AND LETTERS

“When shopping, look for the NOM (Normas Official Mexicana) number and the letters CRT (Consejo Regulador de Tequila).

The NOM identifies the distillery, which can be important because some distilleries produce as many as 70 different brands of tequila, so it’s good to know where your brand was made, and CRT means the distillery operates according to approved processes.”

REST AND RESET Giving your body the rest it needs is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Here’s how Mariel Hemingway creates a soothing sleep sanctuary; plus, simple ideas for a nightly wind-down routine.

“I used to think, ‘well, I meditate, so I don’t need that much sleep,’” says wellness expert and Cambria’s longtime brand ambassador Mariel Hemingway. “But, as I got a little older, I realized how important sleep is to regenerate and repair. It’s when all the good stuff happens in our bodies!” These days, the mother, actress, yoga instructor, author, and filmmaker takes her time off from multitasking more seriously. “I always sleep in a totally dark room,” she says. “Sleeping with light is very hard on the body; so, even in a hotel room, I close the curtains, block any gaps with towels, and cover any lights on a TV or phone.”

This process is part of what Hemingway calls creating a “sacred sleep space.” At home, this begins with the design and décor that fill the space. “Cool colors like blue, gray or white tend to be the most soothing.” Incorporate natural materials like wood and Cambria

stone in the surfaces and furnishings, and invest in high-quality naturalfiber bed linens, she says. “They don’t have to be the highest thread count, you just want quality cotton or linen sheets. For me, sleeping on white sheets feels healing.” Wash bed linens at least once a week to remove bacteria and dust mites. And, air out the room with an open window and a fan, if possible.

One thing that isn’t part of a sacred sleep space: technology.

“Our house rule is ‘no phones after 8 p.m.,’” she says. “The blue light from phones and computers is really disruptive to biorhythms.”

Finally, Hemingway ends each evening with a mental “day review.”

“I go over the day and redo in my mind anything that didn’t go well.

Then, I think of how I’ll make the next day really amazing—and focus on that vision as I fall asleep. It’s like programming a computer, and it always works.”

MAKING BETTER BEDTIME STORIES Seven to nine hours. That’s how much sleep a healthy adult needs each day, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). If you regularly get less, you may be risking a host of health problems, from diabetes to heart disease and depression. To get a better night’s sleep, incorporate these tips from sleep specialist Dr. Camilo Ruiz, DO, FAASM, medical director, Choice Physicians of South Florida, and a spokesperson for the AASM. C R E AT E A R O U T I N E

E AT D I N N E R E A R LY

Learn to practice good bedtime habits to help your body transition from day to night.

Relaxing stretches, a warm bath, a glass of red wine or warm milk with a book (no blue light, please, so put the smart phone, iPad, or Kindle away and turn off the TV), can signal your brain that it’s time to slow down and sleep.

It normally takes a person about two hours to fully digest a meal. Eating right before bed can cause nocturnal reflux and disrupt sleep quality.

D E D I C AT E T H E BEDROOM

The bedroom is not your office or entertainment room. If you pay bills, talk on the phone, or watch TV in your bedroom, your brain will associate those stimulating activities with the space—thus making your brain’s transition to sleep more difficult.

EXERCISE

We all know this, but there is science behind the power of all those natural chemicals your body creates. Studies have shown that exercise, particularly moderate-intensity aerobic activities (like walking), helps adults with chronic insomnia fall asleep more quickly, sleep longer, and enjoy better sleep quality.

EDITOR’S NIGHTSTAND Routine is a must for me. And that means it needs to be within reach as I close my day.

1. Prime your body for sleep with this blend of tranquil super-herbs and chamomile that helps combat the effects of stress. Also comes in handy travel sachets. $38, moonjuice.com.

2. Treat your feet to Danish wool Mahabis slippers, which have a removable sole for indoor/outdoor wear and a heel that flips down for a true slip-on. $110, mahabis.com.

3. Made in Portugal of 100-percent European flax, the Striped Linen duvet set will grow softer with every wash. $349 to $369, parachute.com. 4. What’s on our Editor-in-Chief’s nightstand? Rosebud salve ($6, sephora.com) for moisturizing, L’Occitane Aromachologie pillow mist ($24, loccitane.com) to relax the mind, and Ancient Minerals magnesium oil (from $11.95, enviromedica.com) for after bath, proven to aid the body in sleep.
