The editor’s desk

It is one heck of a sporting event that can bring Curtis Stone all the way back from Los Angeles, where he is a revered chef with two top restaurants, to cook up a storm for Melbourne foodies. A pop-up version of his Sunset Boulevard fine diner Gwen (which he runs with brother Luke) will grace the greens at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club for the Presidents Cup in December. In this edition, Stone shares memories of his late grandmother Gwen, whose own wood-fired cooking informs the decadently primal menu and proves even refined palates can be inspired by lovingly humble origins. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am Associate Professor Alan Duffy” … an astronomer and astrophysicist I’ve always been curious about the world around me – I was that annoying kid asking, “why, why, why?” Luckily, my parents encouraged it. However, it wasn’t until I read Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time as a precocious 12-year-old that I knew there was even a job of being an astronomer.

I had a terrible time in my final year of high school trying to pick what to study, but in the end I chose physics because it kept my options open.

Eventually, I took a PhD at the University of Manchester, based around creating universes with super computers and seeing them grow. At the end of it, a post-doctoral position opened up at the University of Western Australia. Australia was embarking on building the Square Kilometre Array

– the biggest telescope ever conceived – and was pulling in astronomers from all around the world, and I was lucky enough to be part of the team.

After that, I was able to present my work: what could this telescope see, how many galaxies could it find and what could we learn about the darker side of our universe – the invisible side that’s formed of dark matter, which we now know outweighs every atom we can see combined five times over.

It wasn’t sufficient to just do the science; I also had to go out and explain it. So, at Swinburne, half of my life is engagement and half is research. It’s the closest I’ve ever got to the dream job.

For a decade now, I’ve been focused on one of the biggest questions in science: what is the nature of

As told to

Ph o t o

dark matter? I try to figure out what it’s made of and what its properties are by creating baby universes. Then, I try to find that dark matter in the lab as part of the SABRE Dark Matter Experiment.

In terms of my day-to-day, a lot of the time it’s brainstorming with my students, working with colleagues, doodling equations or logging onto super computers and trying to fix code or program new types of universes to simulate.

Then I switch gears, which could involve speaking to the public, being on TV or going into schools. I have to say, it’s a thrilling challenge to keep a group of six-year-olds entertained about dark matter. ● ● alanrduffy.com

urtis Stone remembers Gwen, his nana, very fondly. “She was always in the kitchen and just your typical Aussie nan,” he says.

“She came from a very simple background, living on a farm outside of Melbourne.

“My mother lived on the farm with Gwen, and her father, Ernie. It was a pretty simple existence.”

While Gwen’s life may have seemed much like that of many other Australians, the way she lived her life still inspires Stone, 43, who is one of Australia’s most loved chefs and a Michelinstarred restaurateur.

One of his two top Los Angeles restaurants is called the Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant while the other is named Maude, after his grandmother from his father’s side.

Fondly known simply as Gwen, the restaurant will have its first ever Australian presence in December, with a pop-up experience at the Presidents Cup at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Black Rock.

LU K E D E N N E H Y

here’. It was pretty cool.” Gwen, like Maude, would be very proud of what her grandson has achieved.

As well as the two restaurants in Los Angeles, he is the face of Coles in Australia and has built a huge television career in the US. He got his TV break hosting the Channel 7 reality show My Restaurant Rules back in 2004, which was partly filmed in Fitzroy Street, St Kilda.

Stone is one of the favourites to join the new judging panel of MasterChef Australia after George Calombaris, Gary Mehigan and Matt Preston left the show earlier this year.

He and his wife Lindsay Price were among the select few invited to a recent state dinner hosted by US President Donald Trump at the White House.

The couple live in Los Angeles and have two sons, Emerson, 5, and Hudson, 8.

Stone is back and forth from Australia a number of times during the year but, at the moment, LA is home.

“It’s a cool city to live in,” he says of his home.

“The weather is bloody beautiful.

“There are a lot of things I don’t like about it too, but there are a lot of things I do like. We are really close to the beach, and when you’ve got young kids, that is a good thing.”

Growing up in the ’80s and ’90s in Melbourne in between kicking the footy, he always had a love of food.

“I started cooking as a kid,” he says. “I’ve always been a greedy little bugger, and I still am. I’ve always been obsessed with the way things taste.

When something tastes really good, I get really excited about it.”

Stone went to high school at Essendon Grammar, a boys’ school that is now co-ed and called Penleigh and Essendon Grammar.

He went to school with now celebrated chef Shannon Bennett , who is the same age as him.

The two studied home economics early on.

The menu made with love COVER STORY Inspired by the memory of his grandmother, chef Curtis Stone is bringing his restaurant home.

Both Gwen and Maude passed away in 2008, but they are never far from Stone’s memory. The way Gwen and Ernie raised his mother Lorraine is something he will never forget.

“They had a few cows that they used to milk and sell the milk,” he says. “Mum always talks about that, when the cheque would arrive from the butter company. That was a big, exciting moment for them.

“They would also cut firewood and take it down to the people in the city.

“They were market gardeners and they had a bunch of veggies they’d grow.”

Everything in Gwen’s kitchen was cooked on a wood-fired stove.

When Stone and his brother Luke, who is a coowner, opened the restaurant in Los Angeles in 2016, both of them felt she was with them in spirit.

Like Gwen in her life, the restaurant relies on a trusty old wood-fired stove.

“It was funny the night we opened, actually I lit the fires and my brother and I went upstairs, and we then walked back into the space and we could both smell the fires,” he says.

“I looked at him and I was like, ‘it’s like she is

“We decided to do home eco to meet the girls, because at the time it was an all-boys’ school and home eco was taught at the girls’ school,” he says.

“We’d get the bus over and try to meet some girls.

We didn’t meet any girls, but somehow we both learnt how to cook.”

The 120-seat Gwen at the Presidents Cup will serve a lunch and dinner menu. Reservations are available to patrons with general admission tickets.

“It’s a world-class event and we thought we’d bring some world-class food,” Stone says of the Presidents Cup. “I’ve also never been able to do a restaurant at home, so it will be fun to bring it to Melbourne.” ●

ART & CULTURE

Prize collection The Archibald Prize 2019 finalists – including the winner – are on show in the Yarra Valley.

A

ustralia’s most prestigious art award, the Archibald Prize, is making its Victorian debut at TarraWarra Museum of Art in Healesville, bringing with it the winning work of Tony Costa.

Costa painted artist Lindy Lee using his hands instead of paintbrushes. “Did you know that Rembrandt also painted using his thumb?” says Costa, who flew in from Sydney for the opening event in regional Victoria.

“It’s nothing new and painters have

been doing it for years. A famous painting by Rembrandt called A Woman Bathing In A Stream saw him paint her gown using his thumb.

I feel I have a much more direct approach using my hands and my markings are much more definitive as a result.”

TarraWarra is the first venue to host the Archibald Prize after the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

The exhibition will travel around regional Australia, reaching more than 300,000 visitors along the way.

“The Archibald Prize is an extraordinary vehicle to get our work out to the people. It’s a wonderful accolade,” Costa says.

It took Costa two days to paint Lee, first approaching the artist and Zen Buddhist after he heard her interviewed at the NSW Art Gallery.

“She’s a very busy woman and I had access to her for one day,” Costa

says. “She meditated for three hours in the morning and then again for three in the afternoon.

“I captured her in the lotus pose, which says as much about her as her physical features. This is someone who is meditating and it already tells you half the story.”

He completed the painting in his studio.

JA N E R O C CA

Costa, a second generation Italian, says he’s been intrigued by eastern philosophies for decades and was introduced to Buddhism in 1978.

“I had a faint idea of what Buddhism was about back then – it wasn’t for me, but I totally respect what it stands for,” he says.

“Approaching art in that Zen way I found parallels in that with my own temperament because you have to give in to that way of working to make it work.”

Costa is all about trapping energy with every hand movement when he paints.

“That’s my ticket to nirvana,” he says. “When I first started experimenting using my hands 30 years ago I wore surgical gloves and felt I had more power.

“By getting rid of detail in the work I was delivering something with

greater impact. “The painting of Lindy Lee is about peace and serenity. It’s about mood and stillness, I hope that’s what people get from it when they see it.”

Among the 51 works in this year’s Archibald Prize exhibition are paintings that portray Australian subjects including renowned actor David Wenham by Tessa MacKay (the winner of the Packing Room Prize), former ballet dancer and director of the Queensland Ballet Li Cunxin by Jun Chen, Anh Do’s portrait of the artist George Gittoes and journalist Annabel Crabb as depicted by Jordan Richardson. ● ARCHIBALD PRIZE 2019 \ Exhibiting at the TarraWarra Museum of Art until November 5. ● twma.com.au/exhibition/ archibald-prize-2019

There is no being critical of Noosa’s main beach, but if you are tired of being flanked by other tourists grabbing their slice of the sunshine, there are many other places and ways to relax. And they’re easily accessed at that. Nestled behind the main drag to the left is the little-known Noosa Dog Beach, which stretches all the way to the river mouth and overlooks the sandbanks. Make your trip to nearly empty paradise complete by hiring a “Barbie Boat” from the team at Boardwalk Boats just behind the Sofitel. Comfortably seating up to 11 people and with no boat licence required, there really is no better way to experience Noosa.

Cruise up the river canal and check out some seriously extravagant waterfront homes. Once past the canal you can anchor your vessel right on Dog Beach or the nearby sandbank. ●

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Beyond the classroom

nside and outside the classroom, music and technology offer students opportunities to develop new skills and interests and to learn the value of persistence.

Music is an essential part of school life at Shelford Girls’ Grammar. Jean McQuarrie, head of music, has been with the school for the past 25 years and has seen many of her former proteges find a fulltime career in the world of music and performance.

“Some of them have performed with the Melbourne Conservatorium orchestras, some have worked as composers with the ABC and one student just got her first commission to compose,” says McQuarrie.

Extra-curricular music is a popular choice for many of the girls at Shelford. Around 73 per cent of students play a musical instrument and most are also part of an ensemble and spend hours before and after school perfecting their musical skills.

“We have choirs, harmony ensembles, string orchestras, a concert band, guitar ensemble, brass ensemble, jazz ensemble, percussion ensemble and flute ensemble. If a student comes to me and is interested in being part of a rock band or an Irish band, we will form an ensemble so they can pursue that interest,” says McQuarrie.

The annual school musical also involves many extra-curricular hours with the junior school and senior school performing in alternate years. This year the junior school performed Annie and next year the senior school students will present Mary Poppins.

“The students sing and act and hold positions of responsibility in terms of stage management, sound and lighting,” says McQuarrie.

“These experiences don’t only enrich their musicianship but they lead to girls forming crossyear level friendships and the older girls help the

younger girls. Music helps with the students’ academic rigor and discipline, and it presents them with the challenge of being brave enough to perform publicly which is a valuable acquired skill.”

At Preshil in Kew, robotics and technology are popular extra-curricular choices for students, with their interest encouraged from early primary school years. Younger children enjoy spending lunchtimes and recess in the “Fish Bowl” – a bright, modern area equipped with a 3D printer, green screen, video and editing software, LEGO and coding programs.

“The Fish Bowl is a space where children can explore and be curious,” says Natalie Jensen, assistant principal at Preshil.

“Teachers take on projects at lunchtime with groups of children and they’ve used 3D printing to make pieces of jewellery and phone cases and they’ve made films. We get people from the community or parents who are specialists to work with the children – one person worked for Channel 7 and has been making films with the kids.”

Younger students use the Cubico coding program

that was developed by specialists in early childhood education, computer engineering and computer linguistics. It helps them understand basic concepts of coding such as command sequences, iteration and looping and conditions and to improve logical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Older children can get to grips with Arduino programming, which is a more involved introduction to robotics.

“All our classrooms are open at lunchtime, so children can self-initiate activities and projects at that time,” says Jensen.

“The focus in all these robotic and technology projects is more on the process than the end result.

They learn to design, test, undo something, re-do it and try again, so it’s good for building resilience.

“They often try something and when it doesn’t work, they look at it through a different lens to see what they can change. The students will discuss projects together and help each other problemsolve and that continues to encourage their natural curiosity.” ●

Montmorency is maturing urbanely. There’s no need to settle for B-grade coffee; local dining offers varied cuisines, and the schools place highly in state rankings.

In keeping with that evolution, this house pairs contemporary architecture with a streamlined, lightcatching interior.

Style statements include the polished concrete floors, heated for underfoot comfort, and the textured tiles in the bathrooms. Details such as the frame around the fireplace and the funky light-fitting in the dining area suggest designer input.

But while it might dazzle, it also delivers fuss-free family living, with plenty of room for a large one, and some flexibility to the floor plan.

The rendered facade glows in white. Up-lit decks leading to the front door add fanfare to the welcome.

The study and the main bedroom branch off the foyer. The study has a return desk. Glass-walled to the front garden, the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with double vanity, double shower and separate toilet.

Next up, the laundry opens to a garden path.

Past the powder room and staircase, the hub spans out on those smooth, concrete floors with the wall-mounted fireplace in the living area, the dining area denoted by the dropped light-fitting, and the chic kitchen with Smeg appliances and dark, stone benchtops adjoining a butler’s pantry.

Not your ordinary home designer and builder

With all our experts – architects, interior designers, quantity surveyors and builders – housed under one roof, we have the knowledge and expertise to take your home from concept to completion.

The entire process from brief to build is managed in-house – so there’s no to-ing and fro-ing between contractors.

Because the process is tighter and smarter, we can focus on the most important challenge: how your space looks, feels and functions.
