dR PUBLISHER’S LETTER Dear Reader, Springtime in the Tampa Bay area brings with it so many opportunities to enjoy the fact that we live where others vacation. Life can get hectic, and while others visit our area to relax, it’s easy to forget that we have so many resources locally to de-stress and unwind. This issue is our annual focus on health and beauty, bringing you new ideas (and some tried and true) on how to feel and look your best. The dR FEATURE on page 26 takes you inside some of our best local spas for an up close look at the latest treatments. Learn about sun warmed shell massages, facials, hydrotherapies, infrared saunas and custom body wraps. Choose the spa experience you prefer, from bungalow boutiques to resort spa amenities.

Looking for a spa experience while traveling? dR TRAVEL on page 32 showcases national and international facilities for the ultimate escapes. We take you to the island of St. Martin to explore La Semmana Resort, and introduce the trendy new Mandarin Oriental, which recently opened in Paris. And if you’d like to stay stateside, be sure to read about the St. Regis Aspen Resort in Colorado.

If you’re thinking of bringing the spa experience into your own home, dR HOME on page 59 highlights ways to renovate your bath to create a spa environment. You can install a RainDance Showerpipe that allows you to select spray and temperature, or set the tone with a crystal chandelier for luxurious light. dR HEALTH on page 39 looks at wellness from both the inside and the outside. Although most of us attempt to eat healthier, busy schedules often hinder our efforts to prepare fresh meals. Fitlife Foods offers healthy, made from scratch meals that you can stop in and pick up for yourself or the entire family. And to tune up your look, we talk with the medical experts about how to have a dazzling smile, more youthful eyes and a toned body.

Looking for ideas to create a special meal? In dR CULINARY MASTERS on page 84 some of our top local chefs share their favorite recipes along with step by step instructions. From Baked Blue Point Oysters appetizer to Key Lime Tart dessert, you’re sure to find a few of your favorites.

This month’s dR AUTO takes a spin in the new 991 generation of the Porsche 911 Carrera S. Although slightly longer and roomier, 400 horsepower still gets you to 60 mph in around 4 seconds.

Recently unveiled locally at Reeves Automotive, guests were able to get a sneak peek at the subtle body style changes.

As always, dR PARTY highlights fundraising efforts that benefit our community. This issue salutes Fashion Funds the Cure at Neiman Marcus, which benefitted the Pediatric Cancer Foundation, and the DeBartolo Family Foundation’s Ninth Annual All Star Gala, which raised over $400,000 for local charities. If you are hosting or supporting a charitable event, don’t forget to submit your photos and names to be included in the next issue.

Enjoy!

Wonderful Graphic Art for the Wee Ones WEE GALLERY ART makes me wish I had little ones so I could decorate their rooms with the company’s superb stylized art of animals—giraffes, turtles, elephants, fish, cats and more. The simple, bold, black and white designs have repeating patterns that are visually stimulating for infants.

Surya Sajnani and Dave Pinto, owners of the new St. Petersburg-based online business, sell Wee Gallery art cards, mobiles, wall graphics, stamps, growth charts, among other items, to an international audience.

The Museum of Modern Art in NYC carries the product line; so does Land of Nod. 727-504-8395. www.weegallery.com

Carmel Café Comes to Carrollwood The success of CARMEL CAFE & WINE BAR in Clearwater prompted Chris Sullivan and partners to launch their second restaurant in Tampa’s Carrollwood. The atmosphere is casual, intimate and trendy, with a menu that offers a nice selection of Mediterranean-based fare with a modern twist, such as flatbreads, roasted eggplant humus, veal and lamb sliders, basil grilled salmon and spinach gnocchi Marseilles. Sample a 3-ounce taste from the extensive wine list, then enjoy a 6-ounce or 9-ounce glass while relaxing with friends in one of the red overstuffed couches. Lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch. 14306 N. Dale Mabry Hwy., Tampa. 813265-1415. www.carmelcafe.com

Dunkin’ Donuts Goes Green The famous coffee and delicious donuts are the same. But the new DUNKIN’ DONUTS near downtown St. Petersburg has gone green, as in eco-friendly. This is the second green donut shop for the Aziz family franchise – the other one is in north St. Petersburg. The eco-friendly features include LED lighting, rainwater harvesting and recycled water for landscaping, and coffee grounds offered to customers for composting gardens. There’s a special space in the parking lot for “carpooling” vehicles and for electric cars. There’s even an electric car recharging station – a first for all of the Dunkin’ Donuts nationwide. 1046 4th Street N., St. Petersburg. 727-821-3240. www.dunkindonuts.com

Where Vintage, Glamour & Art Meet ARTPOOL GALLERY blurs the line between art gallery, event destination and eclectic boutique, with vintage clothing, handcrafted jewelry and fun collectibles, such as framed prints of Vargas pin-up girls. Marina Williams first opened ArtPool four years ago and recently expanded to a 5,000-square-foot space that showcases her own art, plus 30 other local artists. Williams has a flair for the unusual and dramatic. She loves recycling older items to give them a new twist. Monthly avant-garde events are a big hit, like the annual Body-Art Party, a living and breathing canvas exhibition with models painted head to toe. 2030 Central Ave., St. Petersburg. 727-324-3878. www.artpoolgallery.com

Kahwa Coffee Opens in Tampa Kahwa makes a perfect cup of coffee and its comfortable space in St. Petersburg invites lingering. It’s no surprise that the small entrepreneurial company, KAHWA COFFEE, was top choice for the Rivergate building in downtown Tampa, where it’s close to both offices and the University of Tampa. The Tampa shop is located within a large atrium lobby with a 75-foot ceiling that has spectacular architectural features, including a skylight. Bright red chairs make quite a statement, as does the oversize coffee bar, says owner Raphael Perrier. Sandwiches, salads and more offered at lunch. 400 N.

Hot Dogs & S’Mores CAMPSITE VITTLES in Clearwater cooks up a dozen different hot dogs—the Black Dog comes charred and coated with BBQ sauce; the Lone Star comes with chili and jalapenos, the Cigar Dog has a Cuban flair, and the Hueco has a Spanish twist with pineapple mango salsa.

All the usual toppings are available and diners can opt for burgers instead. Owners Lisa and Rhodes Trevor have tried to capture a little bit of the outdoor camping theme and bring it inside, says Lisa.

The Ultimate Spa Day

Check out a few of the Bay area’s most fabulous spas, and create a must-visit list of your own.

By Melinda Tam Orlando

PIA ESTHETICS DAY SPA & BODY SHOP, Several Bay Area Locations

After a long day at the beach, your skin needs some pampering. But why should you do all the work? Head over to Body Works for the works instead. Let the serene atmosphere relax you while you indulge in a soothing aromatherapy massage or something similar from the treatment list with 40 options. Treat yourself to a traditional European facial before sitting down to an intimate dinner or get your toes dressed up for a fun night on the town. Take it up a notch by trying the Body Works’ Beachfront Massage, and like the name suggests, you’ll enjoy the treatment right on TradeWind’s white sands. You can also try the Hydra Dew Express Lift, which will provide immediate in-depth moisturization and reduce irritation while helping combat hyper-pigmentations and wrinkles. 5500 Gulf Blvd., St. Pete Beach; 727-367-6461. www.tradewindsresort.com

No matter where you live in the Bay area, you are bound to be close to a Pia Esthetics Day Spa. With four convenient locations, Pia provides expert waxing, skin, body and nail care in a casual and elegant yet cozy atmosphere. Pia has a strong commitment to providing the very best services, and that is why all estheticians are trained by owner Pia Trujillo. You have probably even read about Pia’s amazing Brazilian wax and unbelievable eyelash extensions in the local press. But one package you should learn more about is the Mother and Daughter Getaway. This package will let you spend some quality time together in the most amazing spa atmosphere. You’ll both enjoy a 60minute aromatherapy massage, customized spa pedicures and manicures, and a presto facial. Now, that sounds like one memorable day. South Tampa, Winter Park, Westchase and St. Pete. www.bypia.com

Each guest is encouraged to unwind and enjoy the spa experience through complimentary water therapies, including infrared sauna and steam water therapies.

BETTER HEALTH AND BEAUTY BEGINS WITH A SMILE Did you know that daily plaque control can add 10 years to your life? According to Surgeon General C. Everet Koop and the latest research, there is a significant link between the health of your mouth and your whole body.

We now know that bacteria from the mouth can enter the bloodstream and contribute to conditions such as strokes and heart attacks. In fact, According to the American Academy of Periodontology, people with periodontal disease are almost twice as likely to have heart disease.

Another recent study found that the presence of common problems in the mouth, including gum disease (gingivitis), cavities, and missing teeth, were as good at predicting heart disease as cholesterol levels.

treatment is based on artistic creation in a framework of science that requires extensive knowledge and experience to be done correctly.

The last several years have brought tremendous changes to dentistry. Advancements in technology have opened the doors to new materials and techniques and provided less stressful visits, decreased pain, and better results.

Dr. Miller utilizes cutting edge technology in a modern and innovative setting. The result is dentistry that is comfortable, long-lasting, and natural-looking. He is one of a handful of dentists that use a new computerized anesthetic delivery system that numbs only the tooth being worked on. Gone are the days where you leave the dental office with the "fat face" feeling that often lasts for hours after an appointment.

AHH

By Cindy Cockburn

I will never forget my first time.

It was on vacation at the five star luxury Hotel de Paris in Monaco on the Mediterranean. His hands were gentle.

I was hooked.

Massage became my secret vice. A soothing hour off from the world. If more people around the globe took advantage of a spa experience there would be no more harsh words. The world would be too relaxed and peaceful to feel stressed.

ISLAND ESCAPE ST. MARTIN—A TALE OF TWO COUNTRIES LIVING IN PEACE ON ONE ISLAND Vacation on the Caribbean island of St. Martin and you can experience two cultures. The Dutch side called St. Maarten has great shopping and beaches, but the thousands of cruise line passengers roaming the stores in Phillipsburg make you literally run to the hills (via rental car) to the French side. La Samanna Resort is a civilized, private, tranquil escape with fabulous views of the sea punctuated by European accents. The big secret here? You don’t have to be a guest to enjoy La Samanna Spa. This island respite salutes nature with seven rustic private suites and individual private garden views with outdoor showers.

Choose from traditional Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Lymphatic Drainage, Anti-Celluite and Shiatsu massages. The new “energetic Chinese Moxa Massage” is a total detox with acupuncture included.

The “four hands” massage for fifty minutes is worth every penny at a $265 per treatment price tag. Feeling sensuous? Check out a destination called Orient Beach.

MAKEOVERS FOR

Body, Face & Soul IT’S SPRING AND THE PERFECT SEASON FOR STRAIGHTENING THE GARAGE, CLEARING OUT THE CLOSEST AND PRUNING THE GARDEN. BUT THIS YEAR, WHY NOT ALSO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REJUVENATE YOURSELF. SCHEDULE TIME FOR A MAKEOVER FOR YOUR BODY, FACE AND SOUL. HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS TO GET YOU STARTED.

By Janan Talafer

Body Beautiful Healthy eating is an essential part of taking care of yourself. For David Osterweil of Fitlife Foods, that doesn’t mean cutting back or depriving yourself—it’s about making smart, balanced choices with food that tastes good and is good for you.

“When you eat well, you feel better, sleep better, have more energy and your skin looks better,” says Osterweil. “We believe

in eating real food with ingredients from scratch—no added hormones, stabilizers and sugar. And we think food should be fun, delicious and flavorful.”

Mary Strykowski, the wellness coordinator at Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, suggests looking at food as nourishment and eat accordingly, rather than worry about calorie counting. She recommends

the 80/20 rule: 80 percent healthy, 20 percent fun food. Specifically, she says be mindful when you eat, chew food thoroughly to improve digestion and drink plenty of water, especially first thing in the morning when you get out of bed. It helps boost metabolism.

j WHEN YOU NEED HELP FROM THE EXPERTS

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to exercise or eat well, after babies, weight loss or just age, it can be difficult to regain that nicely contoured abdominal area. To combat what Bruce Landon, M.D. of Landon Cosmetic Surgery & The Spa Boutique calls the “loss of abdominal wall muscle integrity” it might be necessary to tighten everything up with a cosmetic procedure.

In the past, that might have meant either liposuction, which removes excess fat, or a tummy tuck, which surgically tightens muscles and eliminates extra skin. But nowadays, says Dr. Landon, cosmetic surgeons are blending the two techniques to create a “hybrid” procedure called lipoabdominoplasty. “The results are excellent and we’re able to give patients a more harmonious, pleasing look overall,” says the doctor. www.duPontREGISTRY.com/TampaBay 39

If weight loss is on your list of resolutions this year, two experts Jay Garcia M.D. Weight Loss & Wellness Center and Cesar A. Lara M.D. Center for Weight Management offer medically supervised programs. Both offer programs that include weekly assessment, nutritional counseling and long-term support. Supplements and prescription medication are also available.

The programs are individually tailored to each person’s body type, gender and activity level, as well as weight loss goals.

“We educate patients to think of being overweight or obese as a chronic condi-

tion that can be controlled through good nutrition, eliminating refined foods and eating the proper ratio of protein, carbs and fats, which will help balance insulin,” says Dr. Garcia.

Dr. Lara adds behavior modification as a key to success. “The answer to obesity is not just eating less, exercising more,” says Dr. Lara. “We help people adjust their thoughts and behavior to create the right action and outcome. We ask patients to put themselves in a new situation, to visualize what they want and to make a commitment. By empowering our patients, we

help them change their lives.

Debra Ericksen, D.O. of Suncoast Wellness & Weight is a board-certified anesthesiologist and osteopathic physician, as well as a former competitive body builder.

Her interest in fitness and energy led her to develop an expertise in wellness and weight loss. Now she enjoys helping patients achieve an ideal body weight through a combination of methods, including addressing adrenal fatigue and high cortisol levels, and using bio-identical hormones, nutritional supplements and vitamins to balance the body.

Fabulous Faces According to the The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, nine out of ten people feel an attractive smile is a vital social asset. Of course, a great smile begins with attractive, white teeth. But the first step, says Nathan Miller, D.M.D. is a medical examination to make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy and your teeth are functioning correctly.

Once any underlying conditions are addressed, then there are many options that can make a significant difference in enhancing your smile and your appearance, says Dr. Miller.

Teeth whitening, veneers, crowns and bridges are important components of a “smile makeover.”

Bleaching removes discoloration, leaving the original, underlying tooth color. Teeth that are crooked, chipped or overlapped can be improved with everything from invisible

braces to tooth coverings, such as porcelain veneers, which cover the front surface of the tooth, and crowns, which enclose the entire tooth. The goal in cos-

metic dentistry is to preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible and at the same time use products such as metal-free crowns, veneers, bridges, and inlays and coverings that look, feel and function like your own teeth.

The eyes are often what people notice first about the face. Sagging eyelids, puffiness and fine wrinkles can make you look tired when you’re not. In some cases, excess skin around the eyes can block vision.

Geoffrey Kwitko, M.D., a specialist in eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can take care of the problem with an outpatient procedure that removes excess fat deposits and loose folds of skin, as well as correcting droopy eyelids. The stitches are tiny and hidden so no one is the wiser once recovery is complete, says Dr. Kwitko. The result is a more rested,

youthful looking appearance.

After improving the appearance of the eyes, you’ll want to visit Grand Beauty Spa for eyebrow stenciling, a new trend that helps create consistently full and structured brows, says Carmen Lee, president and CEO of the spa. First the brows are waxed, then stencils and a brow powder-pencil combination are used to create the perfect shape. More permanent brow tinting is also possible, or the spa offers Revitabrow, a product that compensates for brows that are naturally thin or over-plucked.

Long, full lashes are the finishing touch. Grand Beauty Spa offers Butterfly Lash extensions that give drama without the need for mascara, liquid eyeliner or lash curlers, says Lee. Lash extensions can be mink, faux mink, or synthetic, and are added one by one to the natural

lashes. It’s safe to swim, sleep and exercise with them. They can last about a year, although touch-ups are recommended every few weeks.

Now that your eyes and hair look great, it’s time to pay attention to the face. Not ready for a surgical facelift?

Richard Castellano, M.D., a facial plastic surgeon, offers the Liquid Image Lift, which restores collagen, reverses sagging tissues and adds a nice fullness, all in a simple, 90-minute session—no incisions, no anesthesia, no downtime.

Return to work when you’re done.

During the procedure, Dr. Castellano strategically places several injections of Sculptra, a safe FDA-approved material that can last for two to three years.

“Unlike Botox, Sculptra is customized for each patient,” says Dr. Castellano. “It’s

a blend of experience and artistry to achieve the right look.”

At the Caban Skin Institute, Francis Caban, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist, also offers a variety of cosmetic dermatology procedures to improve the skin, including dermal fillers for filling out facial lines, and laser treatments to reduce the appearance of age spots, sun damage, birth marks, stretch marks, scars and facial redness. Dr. Caban also specializes in skin cancer treatment using MOHS Micrographic Surgery.

MOHS surgery preserves as much healthy skin as possible, while offering an extremely high cure rate for basal cell and squamous cell cancers and some melanomas.

Soothing the Soul In today’s busy world, it’s important to take time to relax and de-stress. To achieve a positive frame of mind, schedule a day of pampering at the Hyatt Regency Clearwater’s Sandava Spa. Ask for the Endless Wave Massage, the most re-

laxing service the spa offers, says Spa Director Joe Esposito. “It starts with organic oil gently dropped along the spine to create an instant calming effect,” says Esposito. “As the therapist spreads the oil, the repetitive stroke creates a wave-like motion that lulls you into deeper and deeper relaxation.”

Before the massage, you might want to exfoliate the skin with an Eco-Sea Scrub body treatment, which uses salts from around the world and superrich organic algae from Patagonia. For the face, schedule a Citrus-C facial to clarify and rejuvenate the skin using a lime exfoliant followed by a grapefruit mask. Add an oxygen infusion to plump up the skin

and reduce redness. By now you’ll be glowing head to toe.

Yoga might not be about pampering yourself, but it can certainly help release tension. Yoga has become a popular way to both stretch the body and reconnect with spirit. There are dozens of centers offering yoga in the area, including several interesting venues, such as the beautiful outdoor setting at Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg.

“Yoga feeds the body and the soul,” says Vandana, a yoga instructor with Yoga Village, which has several locations, including Sunken Gardens. “Many people begin taking yoga for the physical exercise and then find it leads to a more spiritual experience.” The emphasis on breathing during yoga poses can help reduce stress, create more energy and bring greater awareness to the present moment.

NURTURING YOUR RELATIONSHIP For many people, being in a loving, supportive relationship is essential to their well being. Yet sometimes issues related to communication and sexuality can compromise the relationship. Rather than ignore the problem, Micky Waters, of Still Waters Therapy Center for Sexual Health & Relationship Recovery, encourages couples to address the conflict right away.

“It takes on average six years from the time the problem first arises until the couple agrees to see a therapist,” says Waters. “By then, negative patterns and dysfunctional communication are present. The faster the treatment, the faster the resolution and the chance for sexual and relationship satisfaction.”

Teaching active listening is one of the cornerstones of Water’s philosophy. “I help couples get back in touch with each other,” says Waters. “It’s easy to get busy

with work, families and life and forget to nurture each other as a couple.” dR

E IMAGE LIFT

The Imagelift® Experience was developed in Florida by double board certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Castellano. Depending on the type of lift, patients are often finished in just 60 to 90 minutes. The use of local, rather than general, anesthesia as well as calming medicine helps ensure a safe and quicker recovery period. The Imagelift® offers long-lasting tightening to the neck and jowl line through the use of small incisions and liposuction. While results vary depending on genetics and how we take care of ourselves physically and nutritionally, alternative facial cosmetic procedures have proven to offer dramatic, long-lasting results.

o Good

By Gale Steves

Creating a spa bath at home is easy when you have the right ingredients.

If renovating your bathroom is on your mind, you are sure to want to add value as well as pizzazz. Why not convert that room into an at-home spa? The promise

of having some restorative power of physical pleasure close by can rinse away the cares and tensions of everyday activities.

You do not need to have an oversized

bathroom to accomplish this, but the help of a good designer and contractor will help make this dream a reality.

Bathe in Bliss A soaking tub is a must, and the good news is that they are available in many sizes and shapes. Add an air massage feature rather than a more vigorous water jets for a soothing soak. BainUltra brings this comfortable, attractive, and therapeutic bath all within the minimal space of 68- x 38- x 26-inches. Thus, their Esencia Rectangular 6838 (shown with exercise ladder) not only restores and rejuvenates but saves space too, as it works in rooms as small as 90 square feet. Available for $7,170 through Grand Kitchen and Bath, St. Petersburg; (727) 327-3007. www.grandkitchen.com www.duPontREGISTRY.com/TampaBay 59

Tranquility Zone Even in the smallest bathroom, there is room for spa ingredients.

Maxi spa in mini space is this Blue Moon Spa Tub from Duravit.

With its squared body and circular tub and an immersion depth of 21-1/2 inches, this elegant tub embodies design in its purest form. Immerse yourself completely in water colored in light. It is worth the investment of $25,000 to $ 30,600 to enjoy this colorful experience. Find it at Ferguson Enterprises, Tampa; 813-881- 1982. www.ferguson.com

Sound and Music There is nothing as soothing as the sound of gently running water. Install an indoor waterfall, which can be custom sized as well as custom colored to your site and taste. The water lily waterfall is a colorful example from BluWorld USA. The approximate cost of installation is $15,000–$18,000. They can be found in Orlando; 407-426-7674. www.bluworldusa.com. A more local source is Artisan Design in Tampa, whose indoor waterfalls are all custom-designed; 813-933-9245. www.artisandesigntampa.com

Flow Motion Showers add to the relaxation amenities of your new bathroom. They can be built-in, stand alone or even combined with a tub (never a whirlpool) if space is an issue. Add a steam feature and a little music and you may never leave! This ThermaSol Steam Shower with the Bluetooth-enabled Serenity Light and Music System starts at $5,534 and can be found at Hughes Supply, Tampa; 813-623-3574. www.hughessupply.com

Get Into the Flow Simply changing your showerhead can make all the difference. This RainDance Select Showerpipe 360 from Hans Grohe boasts a hand shower as well as handy shelf—which doubles as a thermostat— integrated into its sleek, flattened metal silhouette.

Sprays include: a soft "Rain Air," a 5-jet "Whirl Air" and a mixture of the two. Total price for the Showerpipe as shown: $2,261 from Ferguson Enterprises, Tampa; 813-881-1982. www.ferguson.com

Mood Enhancer Lighting sets the tone in any room, especially the spa bathroom. You can go over the top with a well- placed chandelier that simply glows as you do. This freeform arrangement of crystal on a gilded iron frame is available in mini size (18.25-inches high x 13-inches wide) as well as medium and large sizes and makes a bathroom take on a luxurious light. The Regency Gilded 4-light Mini Chandelier from Minka-Lavery is available from Lights and More in Tampa, starting at $135. 813-877-3300. www.lightsandmore.com

Mix Masters Nothing sets the stage for a spa more than the clean cool look of travertine tile. The latest trend is to have a mid-range color, such as gray or beige, adorning the walls and floors. This Tuscany Travertine pattern for an elegant shower wall is very refined and offers subtle pattern change in the tile.

When you think accessories, fashion most likely pops quickly into mind. Who can resist an amazing necklace or fun bangles?

Home accents may linger just outside your periphery. But, what about the out of doors?

Doesn’t your outside living space deserve a bit of accessorizing, too?

Planning a spring brunch, say for Easter or Mother’s Day? Why not take it outside? The weather should be just perfect! For your centerpieces, consider antique pickling jars from Pottery Barn. The versatile glassware comes in various sizes and hues, providing just the right whimsy to make your table fun. To switch things up, use the jars as vases for fresh-cut flowers; create terrariums for a garden feel; or fill with sand or pebbles from your garden and place a candle inside for a warmly-lit table.

home’s décor. And if your home’s interior is more on the traditional side, why not take the splash of color outside? Crate & Barrel’s palate is full of just such colors.

Revive your outdoor furniture with pillows in cobalt blues, teals and lime greens, or fuchsias and oranges. Giving your outdoor space new life is as easy as tossing in a new throw pillow.

If you’re looking for a piece of furniture to complement your outdoor living area, consider wicker. This isn’t your grandmother’s wicker—rather, it’s made of resin and is lightweight and durable. Denise Bertucci, store manager with Patio Ways (110 Holland Lane, Lutz), is drawn to a new color this year, driftwood, accented with cushions in spa blue.

Defining your outdoor living space is as easy as installing a screen. Michael Bush, president and owner of Home Resource (741 Central Ave., Sarasota) suggests this wire screen from Dedon.

What’s best, it doubles as a planter, so you can easily add colorful plants and flower arrangements to add depth color to your space.

Light My Fire If the warmth of candles just isn’t going to cut it and you really want to light a fire, why not try a fire pit? Becki Duke, design consultant with Patio Land (1913 E Bearss Ave., Tampa) says that fire pits have really gained in popularity over the past year. “We can’t keep them on the floor at this point,” she said.

Patio Land’s clients tend to lean towards the gas fire pits because of the ease in which they operate—with a small propane tank much like that of a BBQ—but Patio

Land offers wood burning versions as well. Becki attributes the gas version’s popularity to the choices in decorative glass and marble tops, essentially making them customizable. And, if the time of year comes that you don’t want to use the fire component, the piece is easy transformed into a coffee table for surface space.

S’mores, anyone?

Spring is here and it’s time to enjoy what some call the best time of year in Florida. Spruce up your outside living space and make the most of it! dR

Salt Rock Grill

The Salt Rock Grill is about the burning passion for delectable food, enticing dining and pleasurable surroundings...The first Indians and early settlers that arrived here were driven by similar appetite. Mostly fishermen, they camped along shores lined with huge salt rock boulders. While the sun melted into the gulf, big crackling fires were built in open pits made of piled salt rock. All gathered around for a grilled feast that lasted well into the evening. This old beach tradition is legendary and it’s still on fire at the SaltRock Grill—plus, no mosquitoes!

o you know what it means to taste New Orleans? Rick Parsons does and that’s what drives the menu at his newest restaurant—Ricky P’s Orleans Bistro in St. Petersburg. Having grown up in New Orleans, Rick learned the craft of making a fine roux for his gumbo at an early age and after a thirty-five-year career in marketing and advertising, felt it was time to put those skills to work.

It started at the Saturday Morning Market and then Ricky P’s PoBoy Shop on 4th Street opened in January 2009. It was an immediate hit with the lunch crowd but with only five tables, the common cry was “you need a bigger place!” It took a little while but Rick was determined to find the right place to showcase his expanded menu and when the location on Central became available, Rick’s search was over.

“This was an existing restaurant before; formerly known as Savannah’s,” Rick explains.

“My wife Lisa and I had dined here before and would visit before and after Rays games. We

were always impressed with it’s architecture and look. It reminded both of us of New Orleans with the high ceilings and old tiled floor. We actually daydreamed what it would be like to have our style of food served in a place that captured the spirit of New Orleans. And now it seems that dream has come true.”

Ricky P’s Orleans Bistro features a varied menu of some of his favorite New Orleans dishes like seafood gumbo, creole jambalaya, fried shrimp platters and of course—oysters.

New Orleans is famous for it’s oyster bars that serve the saltiest, plumpest oysters along the Gulf coast. World famous po boys and appetizers like Oysters Rockefeller and Oysters Bienville were invented in New Orleans restaurants and are proudly served at Ricky P’s Orleans Bistro. And if you’re craving a dozen cold ones, check out the Oyster Deck in the loft overlooking the main dining room and wash ‘em down with an ice cold Abita Beer.

Another favorite from New Orleans is a little

delicacy known as beignets—French-style donuts covered with powdered sugar and best served with a café au lait. (half coffee with chicory and half hot milk). Ricky P’s has a Jazz brunch on Sundays and to the delight of many, features beignets with café au lait that really reminds you of Café du Monde but without the wait in line.

Other brunch items include Crab Cake Benedict and Omelette Rockefeller. And of course great Bloody Marys and mimosas make the brunch complete.

Rick’s passion for food is emblematic of what most people love about New Orleans because when you combine good food, a festive atmosphere and good friends, you’re bound to have a great time. As they say in New Orleans Laissez les bon temps rouller. Let the good times roll!

Salted Caramel Banana Walnut Dulce De Leche Ice Cream Sandwich from the kitchen of Chef Jason Poulakis Banana Walnut Bread 3 ⁄4 cup unsalted butter, room temp 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsps baking powder 3 ⁄4 tsp salt 1 ⁄2 tsp baking soda 1 1⁄4 cups sugar 3 eggs, large

3 cups bananas (about 6), mashed medium very ripe 1 cup walnuts, chopped toasted Dulce De Leche Ice Cream 3 ⁄4 cup Dulce de Leche 2 cups heavy cream 1 cup milk 1 ⁄2 cup sugar

6 egg yolks, large Caramel Sauce 1 1⁄2 cups sugar

⁄ cup water 1 1⁄4 to 1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream 1 ⁄2 vanilla bean

1 3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch (2-quart) loaf pan; set aside. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of banana; mix until just combined. Stir in walnuts, if desired. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, 60—70 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in pan, then turn out of pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. Dulce De Leche Ice Cream: In a medium saucepan, combine 34⁄ cup of the dulce de leche, the cream, milk, and sugar. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat. Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Whisk 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the egg yolks. Gradually add the egg mixture in a slow, steady stream, to the hot cream. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing down against the surface to keep a skin from forming. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and pour into the bowl of an ice cream machine. Freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the ice cream is nearly completely thickened, pour in the remaining 14⁄ cup dulce de leche to create a swirl in the ice cream. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve. Caramel Sauce: Mix the water and sugar in a large saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil uncovered until sugar turns a medium brown, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Gradually add the cream and the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean. Simmer until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth and thick, about 2 minutes. Assembly: Cut banana bread in 1-12⁄ inch slices. Place 12⁄ cup of ice cream on bottom of one slice.

Pour caramel on top of ice cream (as much as desired). Place a pinch of sea salt on caramel. Top with other slice of banana bread.

Ed Barry

from the kitchen of Chef Ben Pumo 8 lamb T-bones Salt to season Pepper to season 1 ⁄2 cup Demi-glacé or 1 ⁄2 cup beef stock 18 button mushrooms, sliced

2 large Portebllo mushrooms, sliced 1 ⁄2 cup cranberries 8 ozs olive oil 1 shallot 1 cup Cabernet wine

mashed potatoes, risotto or polenta 1–2 sprigs rosemary 1 tbsp garlic, fresh chopped

Preheat oven to 500 degrees Servings: 4 Wet Rub. Chop four cloves of garlic, and one sprig of rosemary. Put in bowl and add a 14⁄ cup of olive oil to the bowl. Then season each chop with salt and pepper. Put chops in bowl with garlic and rosemary sprigs. Season and marinade lamb for 24 hours. To Prepare: You must move pretty quickly while making this dish. The key to good pan-sauces is to use the same pan and not to burn your butter or ingredients. Slice portebellos and mushrooms and reserve. Chop half a shallot then reserve. When ready to cook, heat sautee pan add lamb to pan and put a golden sear on each side (about 30-45 seconds). Then push chops to top of pan and add 1 tablespoon butter, mushrooms and shallots. Sautee then deglaze pan with a cup of cabernet wine. Let flame up. Add cranberries, then add stock and put into oven for 3-4 minutes. Once cooked plate lamb chops over your favorite starch or vegatable (if your diet calls for no carbs, you can use some steamed aspargus or sauteed organic spinach). Save pan with sauce and put it back on burner, add 2 tablespoons butter and let reduce to desired thickness, season to taste as needed, then pour over lamb chops and enjoy. www.duPontREGISTRY.com/TampaBay 89

Red Wine Braised Lamb Cake & Stuff Calamari Preheat oven to 450 degrees

from the kitchen of Chef Asbel Rayes

2 lbs lamb shoulder 1 medium onion, diced 1 carrot, diced 3 stalks celery, diced 1 leek, white part only, diced 4 cloves garlic, smashed Sachet ( 3 sprigs Thyme, 4 sprigs Italian parsley, 2 tsps peppercorn, 1 stick cinnamon) 1 ⁄2 cup all purpose flour 2 tbsps sea salt 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

1 bottle Cab Sauvignon 1-1⁄2 gallons lamb stock 1 whole egg 2 sheets parchment paper Breading for Lamb 2 eggs 1 cup milk 3 cups Panko bread crumbs 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp sea salt 1 ⁄2 tsp fresh ground black pepper 1 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley

2 tsps chives, minced 2 tsps thyme, minced Calamari and Stuffing 1 medium sized calamari (tubes and tentacles) 1 tbsp shallot, minced 1 tsp garlic, minced 1 4 ⁄ pound white clamshell mushroom 1 4⁄ pound brown clamshell mushroom 2 pieces trumpet royale

⁄ pound Hedgehog mushroom 1 pound asparagus, (1" biased cut) 1 tsp sea salt 1 ⁄2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper micro arugala 1 4

Season lamb with sea salt and black pepper and dust with flour. Sear lamb shoulder off until golden brown in 1-gallon stock pot. Sweat the mire poix (carrot, onion, celery, garlic) and leek in olive oil. Deglaze with the red wine and reduce the wine by half. Add the lamb back into the pot and cover with stock. Bring to boil—cover with parchment paper or loosely covered lid and reduce heat to simmer for about 2 hours. Add herbs (sachet) to pot in the last 1⁄2 hour. Pull from heat, letting meat cool in the stock to incorporate more of the flavor. When cooled enough to touch by hand, pull meat from stock and start shredding lamb by hand. Strain vegetables from stock and reduce to sauce consistency. When the meat has been pulled, add whole egg, 1⁄2 cup sauce and adjust flavor with salt and pepper. Place meat on parchment paper and roll meat tightly into log, using the paper to form the log to your desired thickness. Chill in refrigerator until log is cool and meat is bound together. Cut to desired thickness, and refrigerate. Breading for Lamb: Combine milk and eggs together to make an egg wash. Add herbs to Panko and salt and pepper to season. Dust cut lamb cakes with flour, dip in egg wash, and dredge in herbed Panko mixture to finish. Place on sheet tray and refrigerate. Cooking procedure for lamb cake: Heat Canola oil in pan. (Enough oil to cover the cakes half way so that the sides get crisped.) Cook to golden brown, then flip and finish cooking until golden brown on both sides. Calamari and Stuffing: Chop 1⁄2 of each amount of mushroom to a small dice for stuffing (medium dice on the rest for plate presentation). Saute small diced mushrooms in extra virgin olive oil with the shallot, garlic and tentacles, seasoning with salt and pepper. After the mushrooms have been cooked place in piping bag. Cut a hole just large enough to fit piping bag inside of the calamari tube. Pipe the mushroom mixture into the tube, leaving some room so that the tube can shrink and your mixture will not fall out. Lightly coat the tube in EVOO and season with salt and pepper placing on a baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until hot all the way through. Final steps for presentation: Saute medium diced mushrooms with shallot and garlic until partially cooked, add asparagus to finish. Place lamb cake in center of plate, top with stuffed calamari tube. Place medium diced mushroom mixture and asparagus around the plate. Drizzle with lamb sauce and top with micro arugala.

Porsche 911 Carrera S

It is exhilarating. It is beautiful. It is the new 991.

By Benjamin Greene The 3.8-liter flat-six engine holds a monstrous wail that invades the cabin as the rpm needle stretches into the upper echelons of the center pod. We are putting down all of the new, round 400-hp figure as the digital display surpasses 130 mph.

It is after we, without drama, exceed 135 mph that we become suddenly aware that we are doing nearly double the posted speed limit on the long stretch of open highway. We snap off the throttle, but the new 991 generation of the 911 doesn’t slow down in a dramatic fashion. The seven-speed PDK transmission holds the engine’s rpms near the boiling point as it waits for our next input; it is ready to conquer the next stretch of highway. Forced to withdraw to the congesting traffic

ahead, we slow and slide mundanely into line as our heart rate reduces.

The 991 redesign is the most significant since the 993 was replaced with the 996 in 1998. Although the iconic 911 silhouette has been retained, its wheelbase has been stretched nearly four inches while overall length has only grown by one. The result is more interior room without making the newest 911 that much bigger than its predecessor. The increase does not make the 991 as roomy as a sedan, but it does significantly increase legroom for the front two chairs. Headroom was also plentiful, leaving room above that can’t be found in many other sports cars. The changes also mean a complete overhaul of the interior, although

materials are of the same quality as the outgoing 997, which means high.

Some will balk that the 991 is not different enough. Those are the people that have yet to drive the new car. New electric steering, working with an automatic startstop function and electrical system recuperation, increases efficiency without sacrificing feedback; Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) helps reduce roll and aluminum helps reduce weight.

As Bill Eichmann, certified sales manager, at Reeves Porsche in Tampa, Florida, sums up the changes in the new 991: “The benchmark by which all sports cars are measured has improved in all areas.

It is longer, roomier, quicker, and more fuel efficient.” dR

Š2012 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times. *Carrera model with PDK and Sport Chrono Package [Include your local and state required disclosures]

It's not just faster.

It's wider, lighter, sharper, nimbler, roomier, more efficient and faster.

When you set out to improve upon greatness, you leave no stone unturned. Or in this case, no component unimproved. Built from the ground up with 90% new or fundamentally revised materials, the new 911 redefines performance as we know it.

Acceleration from 0 to 60 in an astounding 4.2 seconds* in the Carrera. It's even shed almost 100 pounds for added agility and improved efficiency. The next 911 is the sports car that turns all we know into everything you desire. See for yourself with a test drive.

The new Porsche 911.

Forever the sports car.

A Passion For Cars

By Janan Talafer

Automotography perfectly describes the art form that David Caldevilla has developed to fulfill his love of hot cars and combine it with his talent for photography. A self-described gear head since his teen years, when he bought his first 1969 Camaro, Caldevilla has most likely never met a muscle car from the ‘60s and early ‘70s that he didn’t like—and want to photograph.

With the use of digital software, Caldevilla uses a little magic to blur the lines between photography and painting, allowing an image to emerge that is evocative, creative and stylized.

“I like to exaggerate the colors, put in different backgrounds and stretch the image,” says Caldevilla, a Tampa native whose day job is an appellate lawyer with the firm of de la Parte & Gilbert (dgfirm.com).

He also photographs boats, dogs and architectural features on interesting buildings like the Avalon Hotel in South Beach. But muscle cars are

definitely his favorite. What does he love about them? “They are so artistic—not many cars today have the attitude, with lots of chrome, a big engine and a big sound,” says Caldevilla. “It was part of a unique time in our culture—full of confidence and optimism.”
