“THERE ARE BILLIONS OF TRENDS. NOTHING’S ‘OUT,’ NOTHING IS BAD — IT’S JUST A LOT OF OPTIONS” — Jonathan Adler
LET’S CONNECT @beth_hitchcock @HitchWrites
18 H&H JANUARY 2019
Jonathan Adler isn’t afraid to take risks. After all, this is a man who put a blue Lucite nose sculpture in his collection and whose company manifesto says it’s impossible for colours to clash. So when the irreverent designer and potter was in Toronto for the launch of his new furniture collection at Elte, I wanted his take on something I’d been mulling over: should we still care about trends? Selfishly, I hoped Jonathan would say yes. Back at the office, we were in the thick of producing the very issue you hold in your hands. I held my breath as he thought about his answer. “Style is a reflection of culture and culture is more chaotic than ever, so there are billions of trends,” he said with a mischievous grin. “Nothing’s ‘out,’ nothing is bad — it’s just a lot of options. Think of trends like a salad bar: you can pick and choose to create your personal style.” His metaphor made perfect sense and summed up what you’ll see on these pages. While a “Look of the Year” was our focal point in the past, this year’s research yielded too many to select just one. Take the Trends package itself — all 12 themes are exuberant and colourful, with influences that nod to the 1930s and borrow heavily from the excesses of the ’80s. But how to tie them in with our Kitchen of the Month, a minimal, all-white “hidden” kitchen that recedes into the walls? You can’t —
and that’s the exciting part. This year’s feature houses are different as night and day. The polishedcasual home on our cover, by Vancouver designers Cathy Radcliffe and Teigan Jorgensen, is the epitome of serenity and speaks to our collective craving for cocooning and wellness. The homeowners wanted a space in which to unplug and unwind, so Cathy and Teigan enveloped them with white walls, pale floors and iconic modern furniture. Meanwhile, James Davie’s new project, a tailored townhouse in Toronto, showcases a riot of repeating patterns and rich colours, all executed with his meticulous attention to detail and topped off with a standout silver-leaf ceiling. Whether you favour the resurgence of flapperera fringe and snake motifs on everything from rugs to watches, or a calming neutral palette and orderly vertical-tiled walls, you’ll find something to love. The salad bar’s open; get ready to load up your plate.

CONTRIBUTORS
EMILY EVANS Writer, “Clean Sweep” (page 44) Emily, a former H&H associate editor, loved talking kitchens with designer Peter Wilds for this issue. Trend predictions for 2019? Channelling is going to be big! In fact, I’d like to DIY a creamy velvet, channel-tufted headboard inspired by stylist Brady Tolbert for my principal bedroom. Paint colour prediction for 2019? Earthy mustard, turmeric, rust and alabaster, as an alternative to stark white.
Made in Canada
JANIS NICOLAY Photographer, “Clean Sweep” and “Quiet Revolution” (pages 44 and 72) A B.C. native, Janis has shot for publications such as Canadian Living, Vogue Living and for Anna Olson’s new cookbook. Decorating resolutions for the new year? We’re renovating our 20-year-old duplex, and I’m only buying things that stand the test of time and investing in Canadian-made pieces. Paint colour prediction for 2019? Muted colours such as mushroom and dark green.

MAYA VISNYEI Photographer, “Flavour Forecast” (page 89) Located in Toronto, Maya has worked as a photographer for 10 years. What’s one design piece that can outlast any trend? Mid-century modern pieces that combine functionality with visual gratification. How do you experiment with new trends? I look for an item that embraces the core concept of the trend without overstating it, so the new piece doesn’t dominate the space. 20 H&H JANUARY 2019

YOUR LETTERS OUR READERS HAVE THEIR SAY. As a collector of Canadian antiques, it was terrific to see a Quebec pine furniture piece included in October’s “Personal Style.” I’ve been collecting antiques for 35 years and often mix antique pine with contemporary pieces. To my eye, one complements the other. It would be great to see more Canadian antiques in the pages of House & Home! — SHAUN MARKEY, Ottawa
BETH HITCHCOCK
Finally, a room with some originality and personality (“My Favourite Room,” November). I’m so tired of monotonous decorating! — DEBORAH JEAN GILBERT, via Facebook
SEE A STUNNING KITCHEN MAKEOVER BY DESIGNER OLIVIA BOTRIE
I loved the sound of chef Ryusuke Yamanaka’s Mushroom Salad with Ume Amazu Dressing recipe in the November issue (“Food News”), but where the heck can I find ume paste? I’ve been searching Asian markets and gourmet shops, and I’m beginning to think it’s a unicorn! — DIANA TUSZYNSKI, Burlington, Ont. Food editor’s note: Thanks for writing, Diana. To find ume paste, which is sometimes labelled umeboshi prune or plum paste, visit Japanese stores or the macrobiotic section in health food shops — I bought mine at The Big Carrot in Toronto (it may help to call around first). You can also order ume paste online.

I just received the November issue and it is beyond beautiful! However, there’s a picture on page 66 (“Perfect Harmony”) of a young lady all bundled up, out walking her dog in the snow, and she hasn’t put a sweater or coat on the poor animal. The dog’s expression says it all! — WENDY M., Henderson, Nev. 22 H&H JANUARY 2019
While I don’t celebrate Christmas, I eagerly await your November issue full of homes decorated for the holidays and festive baking. I was disappointed to see such minimal decorating in the featured houses, but I will definitely bake the peanut butter thumbprint cookies! I guess I’m a traditionalist at heart. Please return to at least some traditional decorating next year? — SUSAN SMUCKLER, Burlington, Ont. Usually H&H is a breath of fresh air. But Lynda Reeves’ tips for “hosting with ease” (“View,” December) go up in smoke with her suggesting “good-looking cannabis accessories” for the coffee table — a stretch for style and a big drag for the article. Really? I thought your magazine had more inspiration and class. — ROB DUNNE, Toronto Lynda’s reply: Dear Rob, I’m sorry you were turned off by my cannabis comments. It was meant to be amusing for those who partake and not meant to offend those who don’t.

Cabin fever The trend for tiny homes heats up in the hands of top international design firms.
The Backcountry Hut Company
The new Great Lakes Cabin from The Backcountry Hut Company will launch at this month’s Interior Design Show in Toronto, where visitors will be able to walk through the 670-square-foot prefab home. Designed by Vancouver’s Leckie Studio Architecture + Design, the cabin has a loft space for sleeping and an open-plan living, dining and cooking area outfitted with an AyA kitchen. A wall of windows and Velux skylights link indoors and out.
Mini Living
Text by Kimberley Brown/Photography courtesy of Klein (BIG, Klein A45)/Laurian Ghinitoiu (Mini Living, Urban Cabin)/The Backcountry Hut Company (The Backcountry Hut Company, Great Lakes Cabin)
Formed in 2016, Mini Living takes the features that make Mini cars so popular — they’re small, stylish and customizable — and applies them to housing. Last year, the company unveiled four temporary 161-square-foot micro-apartments (called Urban Cabins) that had walls, windows and ledges that could be pushed or rotated to accommodate different needs throughout the day. This year, Mini Living’s efforts leap from concept to condo when the brand opens its first “co-living hub” in Shanghai in 2019.
BIG: Bjarke Ingels Group
Affording a weekend house doesn’t have to be a fantasy if you can live in 180 square feet. This was the idea behind the A45 prototype cabin designed by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels for Klein, a Brooklyn, N.Y., firm developing chic compact homes. Twisting the peak of a traditional A-frame structure 45 degrees let the cabin’s ceilings soar up to 13 feet high. Cork walls add natural insulation in the petite retreat, which includes a customizable kitchen, bathroom, loft space and living and sleeping area. The cabin is scheduled to launch this year for delivery anywhere in the world. 32 H&H JANUARY 2019

Make a smart investment
By Joanna Gaines Fans just can’t seem to get enough of the down-to-earth aesthetic of Joanna Gaines, the interior design brains of Fixer Upper (and H&H’s TV Designer of 2018). In Homebody, Joanna uses examples from her own Waco, Texas, farmhouse, plus many other homes, to help readers determine their decorating style. The book offers how-tos on assessing personal design preferences, implementing a signature look and making a space feel distinct and authentic. Practical magic: A tear-out template at the back is perfect for sketching design plans. HarperCollins, 2018, $50. RYAN KORBAN: INTERIORS By Ryan Korban A self-taught designer to the stars, Ryan Korban counts Kanye among his clientele, but he shines equally bright when crafting interiors such as Balenciaga’s New York flagship. Ryan has a talent for making a spare, modern aesthetic livable and oh-so-incredibly luxe. Interiors is full of advice for achieving high-end design with a youthful edge, broken down into topics such as colour, materials and architecture. Best bon mot: “Young people still appreciate good design ... but they don’t want to live in such a formal way. What they want is an experience.” Rizzoli, 2018, $68.
Choose Pollard Windows & Doors. They offer products of exceptional value with the largest selection of design options. Expert advice, professional installation and 70 years of Canadian manufacturing – that’s why Scott chose Pollard for his own home.
I chose Pollard for my own home.
DREAM DESIGN LIVE By Paloma Contreras La Dolce Vita blogger Paloma Contreras believes the most appealing interiors are the most personal ones. Paloma divides the design process into three sections, Dream (inspiration), Design (personal style tips) and Live (entertaining ideas), and fuses lifestyle solutions with decorating advice. Information on choosing furniture, lighting and accessories is delivered stylishly in grids and pretty illustrations. Personal mantra: “When things look and feel good at home, this feeling serves as an impetus for living beautifully in other areas of our lives.” Abrams, 2018, $44.

Dark paint colours allow home theatre equipment to blend in.
When installing a Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat, working with an LEC will ensure it runs on the proper voltage and is placed properly — helping to avoid costly patch jobs.
Some home theatre systems require additional circuits. Choosing your equipment early and consulting an LEC ahead of time will ensure an adequate number of outlets are placed in the right spots, eliminating excessive cords.
When replacing a wireless battery-operated doorbell with a hardwired video doorbell, an LEC will need to add a doorbell transformer and the associated wiring.

KITCHEN OF THE MONTH
Designer Peter Wilds brings maximum storage to a minimalist “hidden” kitchen in Whistler, B.C.
CLEAN Sweep
Text by EMILY EVANS Photography by JANIS NICOLAY
THE BIG MOVES: DO YOUR PREP WORK
To optimize flow, a cooktop set right in the countertop, a full-size oven, a warming drawer and two sink areas work seamlessly with a casual chatting and eating zone at the end of the island. “Most kitchen islands saddle counter stools all along one side, but I wanted the space to be social, so I created a dining table–like area,” says Peter. Now, family meals can be enjoyed face-toface. Cooktop by Gaggenau, Midland Appliance; vent hood, Venmar.
THE BACKSTORY For a family of four avid skiers who trade city life for Whistler’s powdery runs on weekends, their getaway home’s mid-tone wood and terracotta kitchen was falling flat. Enter designer Peter Wilds, a wizard at making even the sleekest of spaces feel livable and approachable. “My clients’ house has a traditional vibe, so I wanted to inject a sense of modernism,” he says. “Maximizing storage was also crucial.” To achieve this, Peter wrapped clean-lined, hardware-free cabinetry in a U-shape around the kitchen’s perimeter, designed an island with conversational seating for trading slope stories and incorporated a dining area directly off the kitchen for après-ski meals. Striking fir columns and satin brass finishes are warm additions to the all-white space. Contracting, MCB Construction; cabinetry, Camridge Cabinet; flooring, European Touch Hardwood. 44 H&H JANUARY 2019
THE BIG MOVES: CREATE A COHESIVE DINING AREA
Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining area, which boasts an expansive mirror that Peter designed and a 10-foot-long, whitewashed oak dining table surrounded by two different styles of chairs. “There’s a touch of modern, rustic and traditional,” says Peter.

In a sea of steely shades, a brownbased grey is an inviting option. Combine it with cognac leather and wood to pick up on the colourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pleasantly earthy base.
3 Darkroom (SW 7083), SherwinWilliams.
A creamy, malty neutral is an ideal choice for rooms with standout millwork, delivering depth and a feeling of history.
A luxurious purplebased grey is a rich alternative to black, creating a cocooning ambience in a bedroom (though it would also look beautiful coating a stair rail or door). 50 H&H JANUARY 2019

3 IT S O FA S Sofas aren’t content to fade into the background: sculptural shapes, shaken-up proportions and layered seat cushions make them this season’s breakout stars. THE LUST FACTOR: This high-backed sofa with tailored button-tufting is what we’re craving right now. Placed in the context of a room with traditional bones, Arne Jacobsen’s Mayor sofa feels new all over again. THE INNOVATION: American interior designer Brad Krefman jettisons standard cushions in favour of doubled-up sofa pads layered over a contrasting striped frame. The pad covers can be unzipped and replaced with different versions, and the layering makes the softness customizable.

After the strong revival of warm metals in recent years, we’ve seen everything from yellowy unlacquered brass to attention-getting rose-gold copper. You only need a dollop of buttery brass lustre to walk the line between polished and matte: try it on pendants over an island or as hardware on upper cabinetry.

IS HOME THE NEW
‘IT’ SPOT? 70 H&H JANUARY 2019
NOT LONG AGO, many of us fashioned our homes to look like boutique
hotels. It was as much fantasy (everyday life can feel like a holiday!) as it was formula (crisp white bedding, bowls of Granny Smith apples). But lately, we’ve flipped the script: we now want our hotels — and stores and restaurants and nearly everything else — to look and feel like (superior, utopic) versions of home. If we once channelled our inner Ian Schrager, today we’re busy imitating snails travelling with their protective shells; we long for the warmth and intimacy of our homes wherever we go. Where we used to seek the comfort of sameness, we now reject such predictability as a trope, cuddling up instead to the personal, quirky and collected. I suspect such homeyness is a hedge against an insecure, sometimes hostile reality, one that is having us trading our FOMO (fear of missing out) for JOMO ( joy of missing out) and sending us all into a pillowfluffing quest for cosiness. Whatever the reason, I’m sold: I’ve long loved nothing more than the prospect of a date-less datebook. If my house can’t be the minimalist Marie Kondo dream, my Google Calendar can. SEE SHOPPING LIST

“IT’S A WAY OF EXPERIENCING A DIFFERENT VERSION OF HOME HOME””

— Pamela Shamshiri, designer designer
Perhaps a reflection of our collective JOMO, the commercial world is turning into a giant living room built on the ever-blurring lines between the public and the private — and tapped-in brands are leading the trend. In spring 2019, Ace Hotel’s creative umbrella, Atelier Ace, is opening Maison de la Luz in New Orleans. With interiors designed in partnership with Los Angeles firm Studio Shamshiri, the 67-room hotel aims to host with all the grace of a private estate. “From the beginning, our references were of domestic environments, lived-in and layered and reflections of their owners,” says Studio principal Pamela Shamshiri. “Each room is its own soft refuge filled with tasselled lounges and velvet curtains. It’s a way of experiencing a different version of home.” The common areas at Maison, too, such as the guest lounge with its furniture summer-dressed in white linen, feel like a respite. Kelly Sawdon, chief brand officer of Atelier Ace, adds, “The idea of wanting to find comfort when you’re travelling is not a new one, but there’s a hunger for nuanced, personalized service in a world of so much excess and homogenized experiences.” Similarly, at Toronto’s Kimpton Saint George hotel, rooms were designed by Mason Studio to feel like the sort of residences you’d find in the property’s Annex neighbourhood. “We considered the design of the furniture and lighting, the selection of artwork and the layering of materials as if it were someone’s personal apartment; a collection that’s evolved and been gathered over time,” says Mason Studio partner Ashley Rumsey.
Today, luxury is no longer about thread count but the richness of unique experiences. Authenticity is currency. Like hotels, retailers are also creating spaces that feel like idyllic versions of home. Fashion house Bottega Veneta’s newest boutique in Manhattan is also called “Maison” (one of three Maison concept stores around the world) and occupies three landmarked 19th-century townhouses connected by the kind of coiling staircase you’d expect to find in a tycoon’s Upper East Side manse. The flagship’s fifth floor is even dubbed “The Apartment” and is sumptuously staged to display the brand’s home and furnishing collection. Meanwhile, Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio of Italian fashion brand Attico literally bring the runway home (attico means penthouse in Italian) by publicly showcasing their lines in homes: for their Spring 2019 collection, models in Palm Beach pastels reclined on chintz upholstery in a 1950s Milanese apartment. Naturally, restaurants are eating up this trend, styling dining rooms to feel like dinner parties at your friend’s house (if you have the kind of friend who might star in a Nancy Meyers movie).

T HE T R END In today’s hyperconnected world, wellness isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the latest luxury item. From light-drenched offices overflowing with plants to whitewashed meditation studios dubbed “gyms for the mind,” it’s clear that health is the new wealth. In homes, a similar move toward wellness translates to laid-back looks, placid colour schemes and flowing floor plans. For Lisa and Scot, who both have demanding jobs in banking and finance, it made perfect sense to turn their Vancouver house into a dreamy respite — they craved a tranquil environment where they could unplug and unwind. So, designers Cathy Radcliffe and Teigan Jorgensen had most of the home painted in Benjamin Moore’s Simply White, with the same matte finish on the walls, trim and millwork. The all-over hue highlights the home’s architectural features but also creates a calming backdrop for busy family life that includes two teenage daughters, Kira, 19, and Reilly, 17, and their black lab, Finn. Thankfully, the family’s vibe dovetailed nicely with the design team’s style. “We tend to like a relaxed, layered, somewhat imperfect look,” says Cathy. “Our goal is for the decorating to endure — nothing needs to be changed out over time.” 74 H&H JANUARY 2019

T HE H O ME The family moved into the 12-year-old Craftsman-style house craving something “cosy and homey,” says Lisa. “I wanted a soothing feeling.” The designers took their cues for the interior from the home’s architecture, as well as the Vancouver landscape. Shades of blue and green appear throughout, along with leafy patterns and natural wood tones. “We wanted it to be like a big comfy sweater,” says Cathy, who also layered in relaxed textures and finishes. To amp up the snuggle factor, she chose wool rugs in grey hues and plush furnishings such as the down-filled Montauk sofa upholstered in a polyester fabric that feels like a short-pile velvet. Bold colour has moments, too; the star of the home office is a peacock blue velvet Saarinen desk chair, and pops of sunny yellow catch the eye in other rooms, adding levity and warmth. “We chose pieces in every space that would pull you around each corner,” says Cathy.

The thoughtful makeover means there’s room to recharge and reconnect. “We entertain more here,” says Lisa. “We love having our families over, and the kids have their friends over, too. I love it when there are 18 pairs of Converse piled up at the door; it just feels good to have people in this house.”

CLASSIC ROOMS TAKE AN UNCONVENTIONAL TURN WITH BOLD PATTERNS AND SURPRISING JUXTAPOSITIONS. IN TORONTO, AN ELEGANT TOWNHOUSE REVEALS ITS REBEL SPIRIT. T HE T R END The desire for a lavish, maximalist approach to decorating never really went away. But after years of Scandi-style minimalism and austere practicality — we’re looking at you, mid-century modern — people are choosing exuberance over restraint. The trend is in full stride at Gucci Décor, where creative director Alessandro Michele is turning out fringed armchairs and porcelain vases stamped with ’80s-style logos. It’s also swinging from the chandeliers at Annabel’s famous London nightclub, where soft floral murals meet extravagant jungle scenes, and even breakfast in the garden courtyard SEE SOURCE GUIDE
is laid with mismatched silverware. And more-is-more decorating also underscores designer James Davie’s design of this Toronto townhouse, which brings together a heady mix of traditional Georgian, Egyptian Revival and Asian influences, all against a foundation of neoclassical and Art Deco styles. “I wanted to create something luxe and layered, but the owners wanted it to be classic,” says James. He proved they could have it all. “I didn’t want it to feel too ‘period,’ so I infused the space with an air of elegant modernity,” he says. “I like mixing styles that haven’t been blended before.” H&H JANUARY 2019 81

T HE H O ME The 3,500-square-foot townhouse condo, with its mezzanine-level living room with extra-high ceilings, gave James just the scope he needed to create surprising contrasts and dramatic moments in every room. The original floor plans included a private elevator that James replaced with a neoclassical curved staircase to open up the foyer and add an air of grandeur. He’d initially intended to use Art Deco style as his dominant influence, but as he found pieces from other periods, he couldn’t resist creating something more unexpected. In the living room, a Biedermeier secretary shares space with Asian-inspired coffee tables and vintage Murano lamps and, in the library, a twotone sofa wrapped in cheetah-look upholstery sits next to traditional wood panelling and a Dutch book press. The effect is expressive and joyful, yet refined. “For me, good design is about making connections and finding the unifying relationship between different elements,” says James. To link the spaces in the home, he used a pared-down palette of grey, black and imperial yellow. Recurring octagonal and bold square motifs also create harmony. “You can blend as many styles as you want if you just pay attention to colour, shape and form,” he adds. 82 H&H JANUARY 2019
James anchored the mezzanine-level living room with a wool and silk rug featuring his favourite octagonal motif. The coffee tables are shortened silver-leaf side tables, which tie in nicely with the recess in the ceiling, also finished in silver leaf. For balance, James designed a window seat between two structural columns and upholstered it in the same yellow fabric as the facing sofa.

A Dutch book press, bought at an auction and strategically placed in front of the library window, serves as both a conversation piece and an artistic complement to the room’s subtle safari vibe. “The book press gave me the taller piece I needed to break the 30-inch-high visual line created by the sofas, chairs and tables,” says James.

TREND in focus Designer James Davie shares how to give refined rooms a rakish twist. 1. REPEAT YOURSELF Build the decor around a shape that appears regularly and unexpectedly, from flooring and furniture to lighting and lampshades. This repetition unifies eclectic rooms.
2. CREATE STRIKING CONTRASTS Mix elements from different periods or simply finish a sofa in two different fabrics. Unexpected combinations instantly make a room more dynamic and interesting.
3. GO BIG IN BIG SPACES Choose oversized furniture for large open spaces to make them feel cosy, not cavernous. Balance big furniture with a division of patterns, incorporating both large- and small-scale patterned fabrics and textured solids.
4. ARRANGE FURNITURE CASUALLY Position a pair of sofas so they’re not directly opposite one another and place chairs and desks on angles — it will feel less structured, more random and relaxed.
5. MIX UP MATERIALS Don’t be afraid of unusual things. Choose outside-the-box materials, whether it’s incorporating goatskin or cowhide on furniture pieces or adding flash with stone and metal furnishings and accessories.
ABOVE: The Deco-style terrazzo flooring in the second-floor gallery, which connects the living and dining spaces at the front of the house with the library and bedrooms at the back, was poured in stone aggregate — perfect for a high-traffic thoroughfare. The coffered ceiling, artfully adorned with octagonal lanterns, relates to the square patterns on the floor. “You have squares at your feet and octagons above you as you travel down the hall,” says James. A coat closet distinguished by floor-to-ceiling millwork further embraces the square motif with églomisé panel insets. Lanterns, Charles Edwards; panels, Creators of Objects.

T HE O U T CO ME Despite its opulence, the townhouse doesn’t feel over the top or extreme. “The homeowners love the warmth and richness of the home and refer to it as a sanctuary,” says James. Although the interior is defined by large open areas, oversized furnishings and energizing patterns, there are small, intimate moments scattered throughout that make it cosy. But for James, it’s the go-for-it decorating that’s responsible for the feeling of a warm embrace. It takes a sense of adventure to comfortably mix so many styles and periods in a home but, he says, the unconventional combinations make for a cohesive environment. “Components that relate but aren’t necessarily from the same place or time create a serene experience without appearing contrived,” he says. Put another way, it’s a house that isn’t trying too hard — it’s simply designed for the owners who live there. The result is luxurious in all the right ways. SEE SOURCE GUIDE

Trust the Japanese to take an ordinary flapjack and transform it into something extraordinary. The new “it” hotcake is made with whipped egg whites folded in and cooked slowly using a mould for a dramatic rise. The result is a breakfast that stands tall and tastes like a cross between a soufflé and angel food cake. You’ll find these decadent pancakes at cafés and on Insta feeds everywhere, or you can impress with them at home.
3. ZERO-WASTE COOKING Chefs have always tried to minimize food waste, but with North Americans tossing up to 40 per cent of the food they purchase, it’s time the rest of us reconsider what goes in the compost bin, too. Zero waste may sound like an impossible goal, but you can get on board with small but impactful changes at home. Consider scrubbing rather than peeling vegetables, turning bones and veggie scraps into broths and learning how to transform leftovers into new meals.

YOTAM OTTOLENGHI Chef, restaurant owner and author of Ottolenghi Simple Prawn croquetas at Sabor, London “I had these in a part of the restaurant that has vermouth on tap, which paired perfectly with the croquetas. They were just the right combination of soft and textured. I’m a big fan of this dish from my time in the Netherlands, where they have a wonderful croquetas culture.”

Creamy, crunchy and rich, it was an explosion of flavour and texture in your mouth. I wanted more just to relive the whole experience.”
5. LIVE-FIRE COOKING This is no backyard barbecue: open wood fires are blazing right inside restaurants. A handful of Canadian eateries such as Flame + Smith in Prince Edward County, Ont., and Quetzal in Toronto have installed large custom hearths in their kitchens, following an irresistible desire to cook over open flames. Vegetables are roasted in embers, and cuts of meat are hung above the fire, then finished on the grill for a reverse sear. This is a return to cooking physically: managing flames, shifting logs and maintaining a whitehot grilling heat. Is there a backyard firepit in your future?
LYNDA REEVES H&H publisher, self-described foodie and avid home cook Wagyu beef short ribs at Tanto, Toronto “The thick meat is cooked sous vide for two days, then grilled on a wood-burning fire.

6.WHERE’S THE BEEF? Persuading carnivores to eat veggie burgers is a tough sell. But the newest crop of “meaty” tasting, plant-based patties has some converts. What’s behind this embrace of flexitarian eating? Maybe you’re worried about your heart health, maybe those articles about the environment have you concerned, or maybe you’re just curious about whether these burgers with their umami taste and beet juice “blood” are as convincing as promised. The latest patties to hit the market are the Beyond Burger, available frozen in specialty stores and at A&Ws across North America, and the Impossible Burger, found on menus at high-end restaurants in the U.S. Will they make you change your order? Plate, CB2; napkin, Oak + Fort.
7. THE GREAT DIVIDE Are you embracing the garden-to-table approach to dinner or dialing Uber Eats or SkipTheDishes? The extremes of how people eat can seem pronounced, but most of us live a bit in both worlds. Ingredients in a box, a.k.a. meal kit services such as HelloFresh and Chefs Plate, bridge the gap between ordering-in convenience and the joy of cooking.

PULLED JACKFRUIT TACOS
Looking for a new meat alternative? Try cooking with the latest hot ingredient: jackfruit. An age-old staple in South Asian cooking, it’s suddenly appearing on menus everywhere. Young, green jackfruit has a neutral taste on its own, but when cooked in something saucy, it soaks up flavours and has the look and texture of shredded meat. Foodies are using the healthy fruit in everything from sandwiches to tacos (check out our recipe!). Dealing with fresh jackfruit is a time-consuming task; luckily, you can buy jackfruit canned in brine in Asian supermarkets, or prepared in the gourmet sections of some grocery stores.
Jackfruit, in all its glory

10. HOT SHOTS Instagram has become the platform where food trends are born, become obsessions and then thankfully fade away (sorry, avocado toast, your time is up). While some foods seem to exist only for Instagram — charcoal soft serve comes to mind — there’s also pure inspiration out there, too. We can’t stop liking pie artist Lauren Ko (@lokokitchen) and healthy still-life creator David Frenkiel (@gkstories).

RECIPES AS SHOWN ON PAGES 89 TO 93
Very Vanilla Shag Cake SERVES 16
PREP TIME: 50 minutes TOTAL TIME: 3 hours For this recipe, you’ll need three 8" x 2" round cake pans, an 8" cake board, a rotating cake stand and piping bags with plain round and #233 icing tips (usually used for “grass” or “fur” effects). To get the “shag carpet” look, we recommend practising first on the outside of an overturned bowl. Cake 512 g all-purpose flour (4 cups) 2 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda 1½ tsp salt 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 cups sugar 4 large eggs 4 tsp vanilla paste 2 cups well-shaken buttermilk Meringue Buttercream Icing 8 large egg whites 2½ cups sugar 2 tsp clear vanilla extract Pinch salt 2½ cups unsalted butter at room temperature, cubed Paste or gel food colouring, as desired MAKE BATTER 1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease cake pans and line bottoms with parchment paper. 2. In bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and stir with fork to blend. 3. In separate bowl, using electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well between additions. Add vanilla paste and beat until incorporated. 4. Add a third of the dry ingredients to the batter, beating until combined. Add half the buttermilk. Repeat, alternating ingredients, until all dry ingredients and buttermilk are incorporated. 94 H&H JANUARY 2019
BAKE CAKE 1. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until cakes are lightly golden and cake tester comes out clean. 2. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then run knife around edges to loosen and turn out onto rack. Peel parchment paper from bottoms and allow to cool completely. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until ready to frost. MAKE ICING 1. In bowl of stand mixer, combine egg whites and sugar. 2. Pour water to depth of 1" in pot, place on stovetop and bring water to simmer. Rest mixing bowl in pot (it should fit without water touching bottom of bowl, creating a double boiler effect). 3. Whisk mixture until sugar has fully dissolved and temperature on instantread thermometer reads 160°F (this will pasteurize the egg whites). Whisk in vanilla and salt. 4. Reattach bowl to stand mixer. Using whisk attachment, beat mixture on high until meringue holds stiff peaks and both it and bowl have returned to room temperature, about 20 minutes. 5. Switch to beater attachment and add butter one cube at a time, beating well after each addition. When all butter is incorporated, turn mixer to medium-high and beat 2 minutes longer, or until silky smooth. Use immediately or chill slightly if needed before using. LAYER, ICE AND DECORATE CAKE 1. Trim domed tops from cake layers and place 1 layer, cut-side up, on cake board on rotating cake stand. 2. Using piping bag with plain round icing tip, pipe thin line of icing around inside edge, then, with offset spatula, spread about ½ cup icing evenly on top of first layer. Add next layer and repeat until there are 3 layers. Lightly frost top and sides of cake. Remove from stand and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes, or until icing has firmed. 3. Replace cake on stand and apply another layer of icing as base layer. 4. Divide remaining icing between 3 or
more bowls and tint with colours of your choice. Transfer to piping bags fitted with #233 icing tip and, starting with bottom of cake, pipe on different colours to create shag rug effect.
Fluffy Japanese-style Pancakes SERVES 2
PREP TIME: 20 minutes TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes To make these pancakes, you’ll need four 3" x 1¾" metal ring moulds, which can be found in kitchen and restaurant supply stores. You’ll also need a nonstick pan with a domed lid.

MAKE BATTER 1. Place large, nonstick frying pan over low heat and brush lightly with vegetable oil. Allow to heat while making batter. 2. Separate eggs, placing whites in medium bowl in freezer and yolks in second medium bowl. Using whisk, beat yolks until fully broken up, then beat in milk and vanilla until combined. 3. In another bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt, then use fine sieve to sift dry ingredients into egg mixture. Whisk until batter is uniform. Set aside. 4. Remove egg whites from freezer (they will have just begun to freeze at edges). Add cream of tartar and, using electric mixer, beat until foamy. Keep beating, adding sugar a little at a time, until egg whites are thick and shiny, and peaks hold and just droop at the tip. 5. Gently fold egg whites mixture into

COOK PANCAKES 1. Grease ring moulds and place in pan. Divide batter between them (each mould should be about half full). 2. Cover pan and cook for 5 minutes on low heat. 3. Using tongs and flexible spatula, flip pancakes. Let cook, covered, for 1 minute, then run blade of thin knife around inside of each mould and remove moulds. 4. Cover pan and cook pancakes 2 to 3 minutes longer, or until nicely browned on bottom and just cooked through. 5.

YIELDS ¾ CUP
PREP TIME: 10 minutes TOTAL TIME: 2½ hours Excerpted from the cookbook Bong Appétit, by the editors of Munchies. For the most efficient infusion, purchase European-style butter — it has a higher butterfat content. 1 cup unsalted European-style butter, melted 3 g cannabis flower Water, as needed MAKE WEED-INFUSED BUTTER 1. Into 12-oz. canning jar with lid, pour butter. Add cannabis flower and stir to combine. Seal jar tightly. 2. In stockpot, stand jar upright and add water until it’s level with top of jar. Place stockpot on high heat, uncovered. Bring to gentle simmer. 3. Let simmer for 2 hours, checking water every so often. Add more water to pot as needed to maintain original level (be sure water never reaches full boil). 4. After 1 hour, using tongs and oven mitts, remove canning jar from pot and “burp” by unsealing lid to release pressure buildup. Reseal jar and return to pot to continue simmering. 5. Lay kitchen towel on heatproof surface after 2 hours. Using oven mitt, remove jar from water, set it on towel, and let cool until it can be handled. 6. Using mesh strainer, strain butter into measuring cup while still liquid. Squeeze solids at end to extract fully. Compost or discard plant matter. 7. Use right away, or transfer to clean jar and store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freezer for up to 3 months.

IS HOME THE NEW ‘IT’ SPOT?

behind some of Manhattan’s hottest reservations (Claudette, By Chloe, Rosemary’s Pizza), welcomes diners with layered, homelike spaces. “Because we started out in residential design, we approach hospitality from the same perspective,” say Dolores and Caroline of their design credo. All of this makes me think of something Kelly Sawdon noted about Maison de la Luz. “It’s important now, more than ever, for people to feel like someone is truly caring for them,” she mused. “As a ‘maison,’ it imparts a sense of belonging — that you could be there always.” Indeed, I could happily be at Maison de la Luz always. But I also feel that I belong at Garde Summerland, the new store-slash-apartment set to dreamy effect in a white-painted farmhouse just outside Montecito, Calif. Owner Scotti Sitz opened Garde Summerland (an outpost of her Los Angeles design shop) last spring, transforming a Shaker-style barn into a fresh fantasia of modern-natural minimalism with Douglas fir flooring, Moroccan rugs and Italian ceramics. “We wanted people to come in and say, ‘I want to live here,’ ” says Scotti. And now, briefly at least, you can. Scotti opened the second floor as an Airbnb, calling it Garde House, with beds dressed in relaxed yet luxe Hale Mercantile Co. linens. Over the phone, she tells me about the personalized experience — one more about immersion than tourism — that a Garde House guest might expect: “If someone is going to check into my apartment, they’re going to meet our store, they’re going to meet us and they’re going to meet our chickens.” As we chat, the shop’s four resident Silkies are apparently gambolling about the sunlit grounds. “Two of the chickens are a little less outgoing,” Scotti says. Yes, maybe. Or maybe they just have JOMO. H&H JANUARY 2019 99

Why Joel Bray advocates for scenic wallpaper over grasscloth in this hallway.

110 H&H JANUARY 2019
I’m struggling with a wallpaper choice for the hallway that leads from my front entry past the dining and living rooms. Do you think grasscloth is a good option? — P.R., Saskatoon
As much as I love grasscloth, you have an opportunity to use this wall to make a real focal point in your hallway. Grasscloth adds texture, yes, but scenic wallpapers deliver depth and dimension. These kinds of wall treatments used to be hand painted and very costly. Now, there are many attractive and more affordable printed options tailored to specific dimensions for a perfect fit. This pastoral scene, which blends neutral greys and beiges, nods to the platinum walls in your adjoining living room, similar to the Inspiration shot of a space designed by Lori Loomis Interiors. Before hanging the wallpaper, I suggest installing two sconces about eight feet apart. This gold version will warm up
the palette, the branch shape will suit the wallpaper’s woodland theme, and the scale of the fixtures will have impact without obscuring the pattern. Centre a white demilune table between the sconces; the hue will blend into the mural backdrop. Next, add a pair of grey linen accent chairs to create a symmetrical arrangement; the solid upholstery is fresh on traditional seating. Then, over the table, hang a shapely mirror — layering select pieces over the mural will make it feel luxe. Finally, accessorize the table with a royal blue tray to serve as a colourful catchall and a wooden box for a touch of warmth. Because you see this hallway from both your living room and foyer, you’ll be able to enjoy the scenic wallpaper from multiple vantages and make a strong decorating statement. 1.

FAIR LEATHER

Oh, to be a leather tote or a pair of leather gloves, celebrated for the beauty of your age and poeticized for being timeworn. Leather, in earthy hues of saddle and caramel, only improves with each passing year. No longer relegated to dressing old boys’ club chairs and attaché cases, today it’s bringing the warmth of patina and texture to light fixtures and accent pillows. Silklined leather gloves from Hermès come in that perfect ’70s shade of cognac — the kind of outerwear that Ali MacGraw or Ryan O’Neal might have sported in Love Story. Handcrafted throw pillows from AVO, both rugged and refined, have a certain tack-room chic, and are not too precious to actually be, well, thrown. And a hand-stitched, leather-framed mirror invites you to enjoy your own reflection — with all its distinguished expressions of time.
