PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
CAPEHART
There is something about color that elicits a smile. It puts you in a sunny state of mind, makes you feel playful. Perhaps that’s why it’s so popular in Palm Beach, where joy and fun reign supreme. Yet not everyone likes to live with color—and those who do are often called “brave,” “creative,” or even “quirky.” Carleton Varney is happy to be guilty of such monikers: He has made a career of decorating with color and bold patterns in the tradition of his mentor, design legend Dorothy Draper. Does his formula work? To answer that, you need only walk into The Colony Hotel in Palm Beach. That’s as exuberant as decor gets, and it’s nothing if not memorable. Read about this vibrant Palm Beacher’s design philosophy in “True Colors” on page 56. Color has the same energizing effect in the garden. Who doesn’t love to look at flamboyant blooms while lounging by the pool or admiring the view from a bay window? Rob Thomson does—so much so that he has cultivated more than 3,500 orchids. His collection is so serious that it’s tended to by the same grower that looks after the orchids at Walt Disney World. For Rob, it’s a passion. For anyone who walks or drives past his Jupiter home, it’s a spectacle unlike any other. Take a tour of his garden in “Blooming Ambition” on page 70. And what color catches the eye more than gold? Former Olympic gold medalist Donna de Varona invites us inside her Palm Beach apartment, which she has decorated in a contemporary style that nods to the beachfront location with a minimalist sensibility. The beautifully expressed interiors are appointed with personal treasures, including, of course, her Olympic medals. Turn to “Finishing Strokes” on page 50. Inspiration for your home and garden abounds in the pages of this issue, as well as in the fall/winter edition of our design title, Coquina, also out this month. For even more, see the At Home section of palmbeachillustrated.com and our home- and entertainingthemed boards on Pinterest. They will awaken your nesting instinct in no time.

Insider COURTESY OF DISCOVER THE PALM BEACHES
Rock
the Boat
The Palm Beaches boast more than 150 artificial reefs, and its newest addition has a storied past. Before landing in its current location on the bottom of the ocean floor 1.25 miles off the Lake Worth Inlet, the Ana Cecilia was the first vessel to transport cargo from Miami to Cuba in 2012. Shortly afterward, it was used for more nefarious purposes. In 2015, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized the ship following an investigation and search that led to the discovery of more than $10 million worth of cocaine. The Ana Cecilia was then donated to Palm Beach County and in July became the county’s latest scuttled ship turned artificial reef. Jena McNeal, an artificial reef coordinator for the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management, explains that divers can now see a variety of wildlife at the site, including sea turtles and schools of jackfish. In the coming years, mollusks and coral will show up, too. The Ana Cecilia also offers a unique opportunity to track the progress of natural reef growth as it is located near a ship—the Mizpah—that’s been attracting sea life for nearly 50 years. (561-233-2400, pbcgov.com/erm)
In July, the Ana Cecilia became the latest ship to join Palm Beach County’s collection of artificial reefs.

CAMERA READY On October 8, John D. MacArthur Beach State Park will once again host its Nature Photography Workshop. Designed for shutterbugs of all ages, this four-hour class costs $35 and covers the basics of the practice including elements of composition, how to read the signs of nature to find the best subjects, and post-production editing techniques. Here, instructor Wayne Baker shares a few of his top tips for capturing the best shot out in the wild. North Palm Beach (561-624-6952, macarthurbeach.org) Students in Baker’s Nature Photography Workshop find wonder in the ordinary, like light reflecting off a leaf or a bug traveling through soil.
RULE OF THIRDS: This key rule, which stresses it’s more interesting to keep a subject in a third of frame rather than centering it, extends to nature photos. PATIENCE: Often, one day outside is not enough. Most
nature photographers, Baker notes, will camp out and learn the habitat of the animal to get that treasured shot. LIGHTING: On a practical level, Baker advises using a
flash during the day to catch little critters, like spiders and crabs, hanging out in the shadows.

Whether it’s the ease of transactions or the plethora of choices, online shopping has changed the scope of retail. In the first quarter of 2016, ecommerce sales in the United States reached $92.8 billion, according to the U.S. Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce. It’s no surprise that the luxury auction sector is following this shift, too. Industry leaders like Sotheby’s and Christie’s regularly host online auctions of treasured lots ranging from handbags to wine and all the fabulous fine art in between. For Palm Beachers, these sales provide the opportunity to obtain coveted items without having to travel to New York, London, or Geneva. This month, Christie’s is offering collectors the world over the opportunity to snatch some stellar sparkles with its Online Jewels auction, taking place October 12-20. Christie’s began hosting online sales of jewelry in 2011 with its famous Elizabeth Taylor sale. “It was a great success not only because she was Elizabeth Taylor, but because a lot of people now transact online,” says Angelina Chen, who heads Christie’s jewelry e-commerce team. She explains that this platform allows purchasers to examine pieces from many angles and also evaluate size and scale. “You really can take a look at the piece quite carefully, probably even more so than in person,” she says. And whereas Christie’s jewelry sale takes place only twice a year, these online auctions happen far more frequently, usually about every six to eight weeks. This time, the sale will comprise more than 300 lots priced from around $2,000 to $20,000 and representing everyday items, iconic pieces, and What is Chen’s stratantique finds, like this aquamaegy for online bidrine and diamond pendant neckding?

DINNER WITH A LEGEND If you dream of breaking bread with Jack Nicklaus, then pick up the local golf legend’s cookbook Well Done! Love, Life & Food (Wimmer Cookbooks, $40). Written in collaboration with his wife, Barbara, and their daughter, Nan O’Leary, Nicklaus’ cookbook features 300 family recipes as well as personal anecdotes and photos of the whole Nicklaus bunch. The dishes reflect the family’s American tastes and run the gamut from holiday treats (a special Christmas drink), personal favorites (cheese–glazed chicken), and beloved bites passed down from generation to generation (Barbara’s mother’s fudge). To make it a little sweeter, all proceeds benefit the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation. Well Done! can be purchased at The Back Porch in North Palm Beach or at nchcf.org

Insider Daniel and Clive Lubner
Ties
Family
“Furniture has always been in the blood,” says Clive Lubner, a third-generation furniture professional originally from Johannesburg, South Africa. In 2011, he brought another generation into the fold when he partnered with his son, Daniel, to form Clive Daniel Home, a luxury furniture and interiordesign firm offering comprehensive services for clients renovating a home or building a new one. Starting with a 70,000-square-foot store in Naples, Clive Daniel expanded to Boca Raton this year with the goal of helping South Floridians discover the best of modern design. PBI spoke with the father-son furniture phenoms about personal style and the art of the family business. (561-440-4663, clivedaniel.com)
PBI: How would you describe the Clive Daniel aesthetic and how does it reflect current themes in Florida interior design? Daniel: Since we opened in 2011, we’ve been making a profession out of “de-Tuscanizing” and “de-Tommy Bahamaizing” people’s homes. Clive: It’s all “de-Tuscanizing.” Everything is simpler. Everything is cleaner. There is no fussiness in design anymore. A little bit of glitz [is] fine; but it’s not fussy, it’s not over accessorized. How have your roles changed over the years? Daniel: On paper, I’ve got the top title position, but he’s still the boss. He still has a keen eye on merchandising and teaches us all on a daily basis about the importance of detail. … The reality is as a father and son working together, there are times when we don’t see eye to eye. Eventually, I come around and I see his way of thinking. Clive: And vice versa. We don’t have to be right all the time. How do your tastes differ? Clive: I certainly go toward a more transitional, contemporary look. I’m very comfortable with neutral background, contemporary, relaxed, easy care. Daniel: I’m the shoemaker’s kid, so I’ve got all the leftovers. Normally, you go in a different direction than your parents went, but I’ve got the same sensibilities and style as he has. Clive: He’s more hip than me.

While the city is often upstaged by energetic Delray Beach to the south and eclectic Lake Worth to the north, Grant sees it as a family-friendly destination for farming, fishing, and fun. “I’m trying to get back to where we take pride in the environment we have,” he says. A four-bar lawyer, Grant moved to Boynton Beach in 2010 and decided to run for mayor this past cycle because he wasn’t pleased with any of the prospective candidates. Although he’d never held elected office before, the 33-year-old Grant viewed the opportunity as a win-win situation: “Either I’d become mayor or I’d get more involved in the community,” he says. In March, he won a runoff election against the incumbent, Jerry Taylor, to become the youngest mayor in Boynton Beach history. And he has ambi-

tious plans for his three-year term. Public safety, he says, will be one of his top priorities, which include supporting his police force and investing in new technology to better fight crime. He also wants to save and revitalize the old Boynton Beach high school, maybe even turn it into a thriving cultural center. Above all, he’d like to raise awareness of the city and its offerings, such as the upcoming Pirate Fest and Mermaid Splash taking place on Ocean Avenue from October 21-23. When not running budget meetings or advocating for area businesses, Grant can be found playing golf, hanging out at the beach, walking his dog, Daisy, and chatting with his constituents. “I like … talking to other people from Boynton Beach,” he says. “There are still people who don’t believe I’m the mayor, so that’s always a fun conversation to have.” (boynton-beach.org)

When it comes to commingling ultra-luxury and extreme nature, Micato Safaris tops the East African food chain. Organizing and hosting epic African journeys for 50 years, Micato reigns as the world’s most-awarded safari operator while remaining a small family business. Though scheduled group safaris are offered (with a maximum size of 12), the company’s true specialty is the bespoke safari, which can accommodate any amount of guests. From the big-cat obsessed individual to the avid birder to the couple who prefers the romance of safari to the early-morning reality, Micato has everyone covered. In a continent where a seamless experience constitutes the ultimate luxury, expect a worryfree, highly personalized, and extravagant trip from beginning to end. (micato.com)
For decades, elite safari accommodations took shape as super-sized canvas tents erected in remote wildernesses and possessing myriad creature comforts yet requiring a welcomed touch of “roughing it.” However, changing tastes have resulted in new incarnations of safari abodes with designer interiors and amenities like air conditioning, rain showers, and spas. Case in point: The Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti, an enclave of 77 exquisitely appointed accommodations in the heart of the Serengeti National Park with luxuries previously unheard of on the safari circuit, like a full-scale gym, functioning Wi-Fi, and a choice of four bars and restaurants. It’s a surreal feeling to float across a massive infinity pool as elephants and wildebeest splash around in their own natural watering hole a stone’s throw away. It’s even more surreal retreating to a veritable five-star villa on par with the Caribbean’s finest yet secluded in a safari setting. (fourseasons.com/serengeti)

share of game, too, but face far fewer restrictions. Off-roading and night driving are permitted on these private concessions, and the number of vehicles is limited to the guests on the land, fostering more personal and extensive encounters with wildlife. On my latest safari to andBeyond Klein’s Camp, for example, I alone was privy to an entire afternoon and night trailing a massive pride of lions as they stalked their prey, hunted, ate, and then rested, an hours-long coveted experience that would not have been possible within park lands.

Balance Bush with Beach
In recent years, the Indian Ocean has become as much a part of the safari circuit as the wildlife-rich plains. The waters are arguably Earth’s most turquoise, and the private island scene is spectacular. If heading on a shorter safari, it’s wise to either begin or end the trip at one of Tanzania’s or neighboring Mozambique’s ex-

Each year between late July and early October, the spectacle of millions of wildebeest migrating in search of lush grasslands draws travelers in droves to Kenya’s Maasai Mara. But the other nine months of the year, these same charismatic herbivores traverse Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park in a largely predictable pattern that consists of mating, giving birth, and following the rains for fresh food. Witnessing the migration in Tanzania is more intimate—you won’t have to crop out dozens of other vehicles from your photos—and more intense—you’ll spend hours gawking at the river crossing that teems with dangers like rapid waters, hungry crocodiles, and quicksand-like mud. For the superlative wildebeest immersion head to andBeyond Grumeti Serengeti Tented Camp in the western Serengeti from late May until mid-July, when the wildebeest overtake the camp.

original 1775 homestead has been restored to its original grandeur and now houses a single suite on its top floor with the resort’s communal areas below. Add to the architectural excellence Winvian’s surrounding nature, which is exactly what New England dreams are made of. Though beautiful during summer when blanketed in hues of green, the farm’s vast acreage peaks in autumn when Mother Nature amps up the real-time Photoshop, brush-stroking the landscapes in the most vibrant of colors. House bikes facilitate explorations through the Technicolor hills and on quiet country roads that double as nature trails. When it comes to embracing New England’s farm-to-table ethos, Winvian goes a step farther with its “seed-to-table” cuisine, in which almost all ingredients are grown and harvested directly from the onsite organic garden. Each night, anticipate an epicurean journey of the senses in the eighteenthcentury dining room at the main house. Executive chef Chris Eddy showcases the robust flavors of Winvian’s just-picked riches, artfully presenting each dish and demonstrating exactly why this Relais & Châteaux property is a foodie favorite.

Connecticut isn’t necessarily the first state that comes to mind when thinking of a seasonal New England getaway. But a trip to Winvian Farm in the state’s majestic Litchfield Hills could easily change that. Ensconced in the woodsy surrounds of the Berkshire Mountains’ southern reaches, Winvian Farm comprises 18 personality-driven chalets, each singular in design and all sharing a glorious 113-acre backyard for outdoor pursuits. Winvian commissioned 15 architects to deliver original and whimsical incarnations of rural luxury, using the contiguous forest as their muse. The results are spectacular, with designs ranging from the glass-domed Greenhouse to the Charter Oak, a barn and cottage with a towering white oak growing through its core, to the have-to-see-it-to-believe-it Helicopter, a fully reconditioned 1968 Sikorsky Sea King Pelican HH3F helicopter and its accompanying hangar transformed into fabulous accommodations.

PACE MAKER
By Howard Walker
Jaguar’s highly anticipated entry into the SUV market—the 2017 F-Pace—was worth the wait
What about that name: F-Pace? It’s a little on the quirky side, but not quite as odd as Bentley’s ritzy new SUV, the Bentayga. Bent-tiger, what’s that about? There is some Jaguar history repeating itself here: Back in the swinging ’60s, Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons described his cars as having “grace, space, and pace.” It became Jaguar’s advertising mantra for more than a decade. Once you’ve worked out the “pace” part, the “F” is easy. This dynamic new Jag 4x4 shares much of its componentry with Jaguar’s racy two-seater, the F-Type. It has the same supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine, 8-speed transmission, well-judged suspension, and beefy brakes. And, not surprisingly, the same fun-to-drive character, which can be attributed to the F-Pace’s lightweight-aluminum construction. Less bulk translates into zippier acceleration, tighter cornering, and faster stopping. Just ask Usain Bolt. We’re not talking about a couple of pounds here. On average, a 46 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
new F-Pace tips the scales at 372 pounds under, say, a Lexus RX 350, or 339 pounds fewer than Audi’s Q5. How does this slimmer structure benefit performance? Outfit your F-Pace with the 380-horsepower supercharged V-6 motor—there’s a 340-horse version, but why would you bother?—and you’ll rush from standstill to 60 mph in a mere 5.1 seconds. That’s fast. And this isn’t some manic, hard-edged, raucous speed demon. It has that “grace” part of Sir William’s catchphrase by the boatload. Here is a refined, elegant, dynamic cruiser that rides smoothly with a tinge of Euro-firmness. It precisely steers with just the right amount of heft in the helm and feels alive when tackling any journey. It can also handle any kind of inclement weather. With standard allwheel drive, dynamic stability control, torque vectoring, and decent ground clearance, it can withstand even the sloppiest Florida monsoons.
But what really sets this new FPace apart from the crowd is the way it looks. While so many luxury SUVs seem overdesigned and cliché—yes, we’re talking about you, Mr. Lexus RX 350—the Jaguar is taut and muscular, follow howard walker’s the wheel world blog on palmbeachillustrated.com with sublime curves and broad shoulders.

Tired of northern winters, Donna de Varona purchased a Palm Beach condo and enlisted interior designer Jan Kyle to imbue the space with a contemporary Florida aesthetic.
50 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
FinishingStrokes Former Olympic swimmer Donna de Varona dives into a reinterpreted Florida style for her Palm Beach apartment By Liza Grant Smith | Photography by Jerry Rabinowitz Donna de Varona has spent most of her life as a golden girl. At age 13, she qualified for her first U.S. Olympic swimming team and swam a preliminary heat of the freestyle relay but did not compete in the final with the rest of the gold medal–winning group. It wasn’t until the following Olympics, in 1964, when the 400-meter individual medley was added, that she would earn a medal of her own. De Varona was the world-record holder in that event, and on game day she outpaced
her competition by six seconds. De Varona won a total of two medals in Tokyo that year and was well on her way to setting a career total of 18 world records. She quickly became a media darling, gracing the covers of Sports Illustrated, Look, and Life magazines and being voted the “Most Outstanding Woman Athlete in the World” by the Associated Press and the United Press International.

For the living room (this page), de Varona wanted sleek furniture that would also be welcoming to guests. Art works collected over the years, such as a sculpture that once hung in Java’s royal palace (above), are scattered throughout the home. 52

However, with sports scholarships for women uncommon in that era, de Varona retired from swimming at 17 to tackle her next challenge: the male-dominated world of sports broadcasting. Once again she excelled, winning an Emmy and two Gracies and covering a total of 18 Olympics, including the most recent games in Rio. With a history of shining in all her endeavors, it is not surprising that de Varona would be drawn to the sun and glittering sands of Palm Beach. Her decision to become a snow bird, however, wasn’t an easy one. “Two winters ago in New York, I was alone and fell on black ice, hitting my head and knocking myself out,” she recalls. “After that
happened, I said, ‘We can’t do any more winters [up north].’” So, de Varona and her husband, John Pinto, finally did what her brother and sister-in-law, who live near The Beach Club in Palm Beach, had been suggesting for years and headed to the island. That first winter, the couple rented a place on Peruvian and began looking for something to buy in town. Unable to find an abode that fit the bill, de Varona’s real estate agent convinced her to shift her focus south to Sloan’s Curve. When de Varona opened the door to the third and final property they visited, she knew she was home. Despite its outdated decor (think: sponge painting and thick carpets), the third-floor cor-

I can also sit outside on the balcony and see and hear the ocean. You feel like you’re on a ship.” More than just a view, what lies beyond the windows brings de Varona unparalleled happiness. On average, she swims a mile a day, either in the ocean or the complex’s pool, both mere steps away. With a minimal commute by foot and a personal cabana, indulging in her passion has become an easy daily routine. Decorating the home’s interior, however, took more effort. Already in possession of a stately Colonial home in Greenwich, Connecticut, whose traditional decor includes tapestries, art, and other treasures collected during the couple’s world travels, de Varona wanted their Florida residence to be a stark contrast. To achieve that, she enlisted the services of interior designer Jan Kyle. “I wanted this home to be peaceful, because there’s a lot of noise in my other house. It’s very eclectic,” says de Varona. “There are so many things from so many places [in that house]. I have a lot of memories from 28 years there, but I told Jan I want this place to be cozy and I want a theme.” The theme that evolved from de Varona’s vision was a reinterpreted Florida style—one Kyle describes as classic and modern—with elements and colors evocative of coastal decorating executed in a tailored and minimalistic yet highly impactful way. The octagon-shaped foyer is a glowing example of this approach, with a gold–leaf tray ceiling and gold-framed mirrors creating a warm, sophisticated welcome. For drama, Kyle filled two giant clamshells with an assemblage of shells and branches and placed them on hand-forged consoles. Contrary to many coastal homes’ heavy use of seashells

I love the fact that I can look out at night and see the sunset.”
and per de Varona’s request to not overdo the theme, these are the only shells in sight. That same thoughtfulness is illustrated in her bedroom, where a desire to incorporate a seafoam-green hue evocative of the ocean was accomplished without a glut of coordinating fabrics or beach-house garb. A painting by Palm Beach abstract artist Patricia Schwimmer adorns the wall, while elegant white, hand-embroidered bedding is offset by a single ikat pillow and touches of beige, as seen in the tufted velvet headboard, downplay the femininity. On a similar note, a current of mas54

culinity flows from the bedroom to Pinto’s library. “I had to give my husband one room,” de Varona jokes. The library features a contrasting chevron rug and striking horse photographs taken by Kyle’s husband, an avid photographer. A cylindrical display case containing de Varona’s gold medals sits atop the modern desk, with views of the Intracoastal unfolding beyond it. Each of these rooms is dynamic in itself, but the living room is arguably the most compelling. The centerpiece of the space is a painting by Japanese artist Yasukazu Tabuchi that explodes with color and hangs above a 10-foot sofa.
The apartment’s proximity to the ocean allows for stunning views and easy access to de Varona’s favorite pastime: swimming. She keeps her Olympic medals in her husband’s library (right), which boasts warm hues and horse photography, an homage to his last name, Pinto. The beige color palette carries over to the couple’s bedroom (top left), which also features soft touches of ocean blues expressed in chic accessories and subtle details.
The burnt-orange and saffron-yellow throw pillows and club chairs echo the painting’s vibrant tones, but the color palette for the remainder of the room is restrained to white with a few pops of espresso. And while the condo’s ubiquitous clean lines are particularly evident here, de Varona eschewed uninviting modernism in favor of sumptuous seating that invites guests to settle in and stay for a while. De Varona’s favorite part of the apartment stands just outside the living room, where a pair of male and female Javanese sculptures are perched atop two columns. Known as Loro Blonyo, or more commonly “the inseparable couple,” these sacred statues represent the sanctity of marriage. Before they were part of de Varona’s personal collection, they lived in the Java royal palace. Today, they face one another and serve as stately conversation pieces. The statues are only two of a few select pieces de Varona brought from her Connecticut collection. She resists her husband’s desire to shift more, believing it would undermine her preference to make this home a tranquil space and also be incongruous with the surrounding environment. Closing on the apartment in August of last year, de Varona and Kyle worked with purpose so she and Pinto could move in that winter. Two days after Christmas, they arrived to their new Palm Beach retreat. De Varona quickly adopted the South Florida lifestyle, hosting an array of houseguests (five couples in the first five months) and entertaining for friends new and old. With a shining career behind her and a warm, welcoming new place to call home, this Olympic champion is now content to bask in the glory of a different kind of gold that can only be found in the sand and skies of Florida. «

Varney’s love of color and Florida motifs are on display in his work at The Colony in Palm Beach, where he embraced tropical prints.
he affable decorator Carleton Varney began his career not in design but as a schoolteacher. He taught at New Rochelle Academy in New Rochelle, New York, and received a master’s degree in education from New York University. Through his New York connections he met Leon Hegwood, then the senior vice president at Dorothy Draper & Co., the first professional interior design firm in the United States. Eager to enter the industry, Varney did everything from cleaning floors to washing dishes. Though he was not yet professionally trained when he began working for Draper in 1960, he counts his time with her as the ultimate education. “I feel I went to the best interior design school,” he says. Varney inherited his signature sense of color from his mentor, and went on to work with celebrities like Joan Crawford and landmark hotels worldwide including The Colony in Palm Beach. In 1967, at the age of 30, he bought Dorothy Draper & Co., and remains president of the still thriving group. He’s written more than 30 books and often teaches classes on interior design. Despite his reputation, he refers to himself by a humble term. “[Dorothy Draper] called herself a decorator, so that’s what I call myself,” he says. “That’s what I do—decorate.”
PBI: How does your style differ from Dorothy Draper’s? CV: Nobody has ever been able to copy her. She grew up in a time when nice ladies never wore lipstick, and she introduced lipstick on her furniture. Walls were painted black and trimmed with white. White polar bear rugs were matched with lime-green pillows. We are very similar in a way, but I have a greater respect for using antiques and personal things. I never throw away things. [They] all have memories, and I try to make the work I do as memorable as possible. I like period accessories─—not as Regency as she’d like. And since I grew up in New England, there is a sense of that in my design.
What inspires your design work? I like to have a feeling of where I am. I don’t like [taking] myself out of the environment. Nobody wants to go to a castle in Ireland that looks like it’s [on] an island. That’s one of the things that Florida does wrong. Some hotels feel like they’re set in England. People love being in Florida, and they want the Florida environment. I use the colors of Florida, such as hibiscus [hues]. I don’t hate beige, but I like spirited color.

A fan of alfresco entertaining, Varney collaborated with home retailer Frontgate to create an outdoor collection.
You’ve worked with royalty, actors and actresses, and the political elite. You’ve designed castles, hotels, estates, the official residence of the Vice President of the United States, and state functions at the White House. In your vast experience, which project was the most difficult and why?
When you walk into a home without great views or unique architecture, how do you give it the “wow” factor? Is there a single most important element in design? People think furniture is the key, but it’s never the furniture. Furniture is the least important, the background. Finishing the room is what is key: the walls, the ceiling, the chandelier, the balance at a window. Then bring in the furniture. When you go to a beautiful property like the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Michigan or The Colony in Palm Beach, people everywhere are taking pictures. They don’t do that at a Marriott. Every hotel we design is an experience. That shows how much they appreciate it. 58
PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
We do “wow” factors all the time. I can do a dining room in light blue and paint the walls in the same room bright red. I choose colors to match people’s personalities or to produce different dynamics─—more romantic or more energetic. I change boring details and add window treatments that are interesting, such as shutters that fold in and out. I use architectural details as opposed to cosmetic ones. Putting up pretty wallpaper doesn’t do it. You have to have something solid.
When at a friend’s house, do you ever have the urge to rearrange a room? I do rearrange rooms but I do it with kindness in

I have to say, I’m my most difficult client. I have so much experience that I can look at a curtain and know when it’s not made properly or a ceiling with crown molding [that] has been done incorrectly. I see the mistakes, and that’s the frustration.

my heart. I tend to examine the placement of the furniture in a room when the party ends, not when it begins.
Any memorable client stories you can share? I have wonderful clients, and I love them all. They’re all so different. When one Palm Beach client saw the library I designed for him, he sat in it and cried. He couldn’t believe it was all for him. It was very touching. I loved him for it.
You are known as Mr. Color and often use bright and bold prints. How does that compare to your personal life? I’m not 20 anymore. I write my books; On the Waterfront comes out in October. More than half of my time is spent in Palm Beach. I love the Intracoastal and my house in Palm Beach. I love going to my house in Ireland and working in my garden. I’ve never been quiet [but] I don’t like to be obvious and have my face seen at a party. It’s not me. Never was.
“ Varney paired florals and stripes in this Palm Beach bedroom.
I like to have a feeling of where I am. I don’t like [taking] myself out of the environment.”

Can you tell us about your Palm Beach home? It’s a one-story pad on the Intracoastal. I bought it and added to it. I call it my blue-ocean house. It’s very contemporary with white linen sofas that are practical and easy to care for. I didn’t want a cookiecutter house.
What are a few of your go-to Palm Beach haunts? When I’m in Palm Beach, I have breakfast at Green’s Pharmacy. I sit at the counter, and Carrie (the waitress) knows exactly how I like my omelets. I also enjoy having lunch at The Colony and sitting around the pool. Spending some time at the Palm Beach Par-3 golf course is a great way to spend a day. The Church Mouse is my favorite thrift shop. I go there two to three times a week. I’m happy here. It’s home. «

What began as a hobby for Admirals Cove orchid enthusiast Rob Thomson has blossomed into a spectacular display and beloved attraction
rom late winter to early spring, that prized time of year when evenings in the Palm Beaches bring cool breezes, Jupiter resident Rob Thomson likes to open his dining room windows while he and his family enjoy their supper. Despite the fact that Thomson’s elegant home is tucked in a quiet corner of Admirals Cove, it is not uncommon for him to hear street noise. But rather than finding it a nuisance, Thomson relishes the voices of those walking or driving by, as it signifies someone has discovered the botanical treasure he has spent years cultivating. Ten massive oaks line Thomson’s property, and while casting impressive shadows, they take second billing to the explosion of white blooms cascading down each of their trunks. Each tree boasts 150 Phalaenopsis orchid

plants, not hanging but fully embracing the trunk with their root systems. From January to May, and particularly after cold-weather spikes, which prompt the blooms to emerge, Thomson’s oak trees are decadent eye candy awash in the beautiful, snow-white flowers. But what awe-struck observers may be stunned to learn is these incredible orchids are only a preview of the year-round colorful riches that reside behind his gate. On certain afternoons, Thomson leaves his front gate open, extending an invitation of sorts for passersby to wander in his driveway courtyard and see the delights it holds. And, for friends of Thomson, the sojourn extends to the waterfront pool area in the back. 72
PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
Stepping into Thomson’s yard, visitors are instantly captivated by bursts of regal purple, electric blue, bright orange, deep pink, and white that seem to be pouring down each palm tree and tucked in every corner of his outside patio and pool area. Manicured grass, planted beds, and the Intracoastal serve as bold canvases for the unending pops of color Thomson thoughtfully adds. While the overall tableau is breathtaking, closer inspection yields wow-worthy moments. Far from the diminutive Phalaenopsis found lining the shelves of a home improvement store’s garden center, each of these orchids is massive in size and alive with unique colors and exciting patterns. To call Thomson’s 3,500 orchids merely a

collection seems an undersell to the dazzling landscape symphony he has created on his property. It is a project born of passion that Thomson admits now borders on addiction. Eleven years ago, Thomson, the managing partner of real estate firm Waterfront Properties, lived in a different home and had a collection of orchids that totaled in the hundreds. “I thought it was a lot,” he admits. “I said, ‘There will never be more than this.’” Today, Thomson laughs at the inaccuracy of his assertion and remembers the March day in 2011 when everything changed. His daughter had come home from a visit to Walt Disney World raving about the unbelievable orchid displays she had seen there. Those flowers in Orlando, it turned out, were the work of
Loxahatchee grower Tony Romani of R&R Orchids. Romani, who is known in the industry as The Vanda Man thanks to his expertise in cultivating the showy, colorful genus of orchid, proved to be the catalyst that would rocket Thomson’s passion for orchids to a new stratosphere. Up until that point, Thomson had been primarily keeping his orchids in a greenhouse— a far from ideal home. “If everything is in bloom, it’s pretty,” says Thomson of the greenhouse method. “Otherwise, it looks like a shed with some plants stored in it.” But the monster-sized orchids Thomson procured from Romani deserved a more natural setting that allowed them to truly become
an element of the yard. Thomson had Romani attach each orchid plant to a tree with wire, allowing the root system to eventually encircle the trunk. Once the orchid became part of the tree, the wire was removed and the orchid would remain and bloom again and again throughout the years. This painstaking procedure, however, would prove to be the easy part. As it turns out, there is an intense scientific process that ultimately results in the artistry of Thomson’s orchid display. It begins with the careful selection of orchids for each particular tree. Vandas would never survive on Thomson’s shady oak trees because they require a certain amount of direct sun. They thrive, however, on his palms that PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | OCTOBER 2016

are expertly thinned out just enough to let the perfect amount of light in. Having to install artificial grass under these trees was never part of his plan, but was one of many concessions and costs Thomson has endured to realize his vision. “If you think the orchid bill is fun, wait until you get the irrigation bill,” he jokes. All orchid-nurturing trees in Thomson’s yard house many misters that are programmed to deliver the right amount of hydration to each type of orchid: The Vanda gulps water, while the Phalaenopsis prefers a periodic light misting. With landscapers, tree trimmers, sprinkler professionals, pest control, and, of course, Romani, who visits once a week, Thomson has an entourage of experts to ensure his treasures endure. So why all the effort? For Thomson, it comes down to a basic feeling that orchids evoke. “The statement they make is ‘happy,’” Thomson says, adding, “It puts you in a very good place. For me, the more color, the happier. That is the feeling I try to build on with each new plant.” An interesting thing has happened, however, during Thomson’s pursuit of happiness—he has become addicted to what he calls the “color fix.” “With orchids you see all the colors and then all of a sudden their blooms are gone and you’re looking for ones that bloom at the opposite time of the year because you want your color fix. “So, if you want color all the time, you stagger batches and, if you want your fix, you have to keep adding more.” And that’s just what Thomson did, ornament74

ing every tree in his yard and seemingly every available space surrounding his patio and pool, from tabletops to columns, with orchids. At any one time, only a third of the orchids on a tree are blooming. The end result is a living landscape of nature’s brightest hues appearing and disappearing, to be replaced by another bold color while they’re gone. The orchids are Thomson’s endearing hallmark—he predominantly has Vanda and Phalaenopsis varieties, but says the hard-to-come-by Sinica Cherry is one of his favorites—and have become fixtures in the background of his family photos. Now, with only two of his six children still living at home, Thomson admits his Admirals Cove residence is bigger than what his current life necessitates. But how will he ever leave his floral masterpiece behind? And where will he get his daily color fix? Those are questions for another day. Today, Thomson has spotted a tree in the backyard that, while covered with orchid plants, is not currently awash in colorful blooms. As we talk, his gaze keeps traveling back to the tree. There’s no doubt The Vanda Man will be getting a call this afternoon to deliver some more happiness. «

SUBLIME FANTASY
BRITISH ARTIST ALDOUS BERTRAM HAS CARVED A NICHE IN HOME DESIGN WITH HIS PAINSTAKINGLY CRAFTED DOLLHOUSES AND ELABORATE PALM BEACH MURALS
Bertram, photographed at The Society of the Four Arts, honed his talents by crafting dollhouses (opposite page) and now makes largescale works for Palm Beach homes.
76
PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
NICHOLAS MELE
By Krystian von Speidel In a resort town where artistic talent is appreciated and sought out, a young Brit is making a name for himself painting his way into Palm Beach homes. Aldous Bertram was born and raised outside Cambridge, England, in a historic estate that sits at the center of his small village. The 31-year-old hails from an illustrious family of academics and explorers—his grandfather was a member of the last expedition to explore Antarctica by schooner in the 1930s. If that isn’t enough to endear envy, Bertram is strikingly handsome, a trait he appears to treat with the same self-deprecating grace as he does the sudden interest in his work as an artist. He also speaks with the proper English private school accent that makes reading a cereal box sound like a Shakespearean sonnet. Although everyone in the family seemed destined for lives as engineers, doctors, and architects, Bertram surmises his artistic bent comes from an ancestor who was briefly the business partner of William De Morgan, the famed English tile designer. He also credits his mother, who Bertram says spent vacations painting and has managed to fill the family home with a lifetime of watercolors and pottery. A consummate doodler, Bertram’s childhood involved crafting imaginary worlds. “I was always making things,” he says. “I went to Windsor Castle and saw Queen Mary’s dollhouse, which is the best in the world.” The model made a deep impression on him, and he immediately set out to create his own masterful recreation of an imaginary Georgian house in miniature form. The result is nothing less than extraordinary. Every room in Bertram’s detailed dollhouse has been painstakingly built and carved by hand. Inside, paintings are miniature recreations of ones he spotted on weekend jaunts to historic houses, which also served to inspire the interiors. There are no figurines in the house, however. “Dolls would ruin it,” Bertram says. “They’re always out of proportion, ugly and gross, and never fit in the chairs.” He’s built other dollhouses since the first— to which he continues to add and expand—that are available at Harrods in London. He has also recreated rooms in miniature sizes for clients who wish to display their favorite spaces in other residences.

“
I WAS NEARLY 30, TOTALLY WASHED UP AND UNEMPLOYABLE, WITH NO WORK EXPERIENCE, A USELESS PHD, AND A DOLL’S HOUSE.”
The first dollhouse—which proved to be a 15-year-long passion project—didn’t interrupt Bertram’s studies. He holds a doctorate from the University of Cambridge, where he studied under the renowned architectural historian David Watkin and focused on the Chinese influence on eighteenth-century English country houses. Upon his leaving the cosseted world of academia, Bertram deadpans, “I was nearly 30, totally washed up and unemployable, with no work experience, a useless PhD, and a doll’s house.” A series of internships ensued: a brief foray at an auction house, a month at an interior design magazine, and a two-week stint at a landscape firm. Work as a salesman of high-end wallpaper lasted only four months; Bertram was keener to design the paper than to sell it. His wanderings through an employment wasteland culminated with accepting a position as a private family tutor on Lyford Cay in the Bahamas. The job didn’t pan out, but a

friendship with the family’s decorator, Amanda Lindroth, did. Renowned for sublime interiors that marry luxury with tropical ease, Lindroth immediately spotted Bertram’s artistic talents. “He’s extraordinarily attractive and extraordinarily funny,” she says. “He loves beauty, balance, and history and is very comfortable to be around.” Bertram’s endeavors on his dollhouse prepared him for what came next. Lindroth put him to work designing and painting a mural in her Addison Mizner–designed pied-à-terre off Worth Avenue, an unremarkable white box with soaring ceilings. What he’d spent years making in miniature, Bertram was now tasked with creating in the exaggerated scale of a room-size mural. Following an initial panic attack over a daunting task, Bertram approached the project with his unflappable enthusiasm. “I’d lie awake at night imagining what I was going to paint the next day,” he says. “If I can do it in my imagination, I know I can do it in reality.” The result, completed last fall, is a chinoiserie fantasy only guests of Lindroth’s parties—many of whom spill out onto an adjacent courtyard—are privy to viewing. “We find Bertram to be completely enchanting and [feel] blessed he’s come into our lives,” Lindroth says. He’s proven adept at making himself indispensable to her design team and creates extraordinarily detailed watercolor renderings of rooms she’s designed for clients. The paintings are themselves beautiful keepsakes of the design process.
“Everything we’ve ever thrown at Bertram, he’s aced,” Lindroth says. Recently, Bertram completed a mural commission for Palm Beach resident Beth Dowdle. Painted over the mantel of her living room, the mural touches upon the usual Bertram themes of a world inhabited by exotic birds, Ming vases, and beautiful renderings of coral (palm trees have proven another specialty). The chinoiserie influence is undeniable and extends to an intricate cartouche of an idealized Chinese paradise, painted in exacting miniature. “He’s very humble about his talent,” Dowdle says. “You don’t have to spend much time before realizing what a charming and wonderful person he is. Bertram’s work is based on his great scholarship. It has a bit of folly and fantasy mixed in with a great deal of knowledge of eighteenth-century Europe.” She likens Bertram to a modern-day Oliver Messel, a renowned English theater set designer who went on to gain even greater fame as Princess Margaret’s decorator on Mustique, where he designed more than a dozen homes. Messel was 55 when he switched careers; at only 31, Bertram is certainly on course to outshine his fellow Englishman—only on a different island. « Bertram’s work includes miniature rooms and houses (below left and top right) as well as watercolors and murals (top left, below, right, and opposite page).

A.M. RUSH
When The Blind Monk’s owner, Ben Lubin, couldn’t find a local spot that served healthy breakfast options, he launched a pop-up café inside his West Palm Beach wine and beer bar and named it the A.M. Shift. Nearly two years later, the Monk’s morning menu has become a daily ritual for local professionals and area students, who enjoy small-batch Strongtree coffee sourced from Gainesville and deceptively simple fare like shakshouka, a traditional Lebanese meal of cooked eggs, peppers, and roasted eggplant in a harissa-spiced tomato sauce, and acai bowls layered with homemade granola, organic acai, and seasonal fresh fruit. For a slice of culinary nirvana, order the avocado toast, composed of toasted pumpernickel bread topped with a smear of pureed peas and jalapeños, mashed avocado, microgreens, and crunchy pistachios. Take a bite out of the A.M. Shift Monday through Friday from 7:30-11 a.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. (561-833-3605, theblindmonk.com) —Kerry Shorr

BEST ROOFTOP BAR: BANKO CANTINA,
WEST PALM BEACH
Banko Cantina’s 150-seat rooftop is “not a night club, but a highend lounge,” says co-owner Sam Sanchez. It has its own kitchen, a 90-foot bar, misters for hot weather, and a spectacular view of West Palm. Banko Cantina focuses on the cuisine of Nuevo Leon in northern Mexico. Try the mesquite-grilled skewers with shrimp, steak, or bacon-wrapped chicken, and wash it down with an Adelita, a margarita with a salt-and-chili-pepper rim and a float of mescal.

MOST AUTHENTIC ECHO OF OLD FLORIDA: BENNY’S ON
GREGORY DILLARD, GRAPESEEKER
EXPERIENCE
Nothing evokes pre-Disney Florida more than a rustic beach bar, and Benny’s, nestled at the base of the Lake Worth Pier, is a classic. Shrimp and grits (pictured) or roasted chorizo and egg tacos rule the breakfast portion of chef Jeremy Hanlon’s menu. For lunch or dinner, order the lobster dip—a New England lobster roll drenched in lemon-garlic butter. The drink of choice is Max’s Pineapple, a house-made piña colada served in a freshly cut pineapple. How popular is it? Benny’s goes through 12 cases of pineapples every weekend night.

PB CATCH, PALM BEACH
Every night from 4:30 to 6:30, PB Catch guests can enjoy two-for-one cocktails and a parade of seafood delights, including calamari, Blue Point oysters shucked to order, melt-in-your-mouth crab hush puppies, and house-smoked fish dip served with capers and red onions. For those just waking up to go out on the town, there’s a Bloody Mary oyster shooter made with Absolut Citron. How good are those bivalves? “Other places have oysters, but no one gets them as fresh as we do,” says Daniel Smith, the restaurant’s general manager. (561-655-5558, pbcatch.com)

Palm Beach’s newest beach bar is elegant, but it also exudes an upscale backyard feeling. “This is as close as you can get to the ocean without getting your feet wet,” says Tito Rodriguez-Torres, the Eau’s executive director of food and beverage. “You can enjoy a cocktail while watching sea turtles nest at night.” Breeze even features a craft-beer selection that is 100-percent local (think Saltwater and Due South). The mahi-mahi tacos are the most popular menu item, but Chef de Cuisine Kevin Knieriemen turns out everything from fresh seafood to a brisket burger. (561-533-6000, eaupalmbeach.com)
When you’re one of the world’s greatest golfers and you can’t find a sports bar that meets your standards, you open your own. That’s what Tiger Woods did last year with The Woods. “My family and I really enjoy living here, and I wanted to expand my involvement in the community,” Woods says. Unlike many celebrities who are silent partners, the Jupiter Islander’s involved in every aspect of the operation. He favors meat and potatoes, and his favorite meal is rumored to be the skirt steak salad paired with one of the 26 wines available by the glass. (561-3209627, woodsjupiter.com)

COCKTAIL CORNER The Bee Sting
The Roaring Twenties were a golden age for American cocktails, and The Bee’s Knees—a combination of gin, honey, and lemon juice—was a flapper favorite. “I love the simplicity of the classic cocktails,” says David Bouchard, beverage director for Nitrogen Bar, Grill, and Sushi in Jupiter. “Gin is a beautiful spirit to mix because it’s so versatile. And since many people seem to have an adverse opinion of gin, it’s fun to open their eyes.” Bouchard’s riff on The Bee’s Knees is called The Bee Sting, and he breaks with tradition by adding sparkling yuzu sake, which complements Nitrogen’s emphasis on nigiri sushi and sashimi. “The drink is lighthearted and refreshing, and the addition of sake makes it a great match with our menu,” he says.

Stone Crab Cioppino (serves 6)
IN SEASON:
STONE CRABS
Cioppino (or “little soup”) was the quintessential San Francisco treat long before Rice-A-Roni claimed the moniker. During the nineteenth century, Italian Bay Area fishermen prepared the hearty seafood stew aboard their boats using favored ingredients like tomatoes and garlic as well as crab, fish, and clams from the day’s catch. In honor of stone crab season, which commences on October 15, Spoto’s Oyster Bar will enhance the traditional dish with stone crab, saffron, and a kick of cayenne pepper.

Petaluma in the Adelaide Hills
Up Down Under The roller coaster Australian wine business heads skyward with refined bottles BY MARK SPIVAK
The inside story of Australian wine is a heartbreaking tale of boom and bust. Veterans still shake their heads over “The Great Vine Pull of 1987.” After five years of uncontrolled surpluses, the government actually paid growers to remove Shiraz vines and leave their land barren. The result was the loss of thousands of acres of the best old-vine Shiraz. The industry recovered and another boom ensued, only to come crashing down in the recession of 2007-2008. Then a strong surge in the value of the Aussie dollar made entry-level wines such as Yellow Tail no longer seem like appealing bargains. To make matters worse, consumers moved toward a preference for a cleaner, more natural style of wine, which further weakened the appeal of Barossa’s high-alcohol, overripe, and heavily oaked reds.
Penfolds Wines produces both a Riesling and a Pinot Noir, a rarity in Australia.
90 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
Australia’s best winemakers are finally coming up for air, with a caveat—their most successful wines now originate in cooler climates, regions that turn out grapes with higher acidity and more grace than the killer Shiraz with which we’re all familiar. One such area is the Adelaide Hills, sandwiched between the city and the Barossa Valley. Another is Tasmania, the southernmost island Down Under. As the Adelaide Hills region has expanded in recent years, wellknown wineries have established footholds in designated vineyard sites. Petaluma, founded in 1976 by Brian Croser, is making sparkling wine, Chardonnay, and Shiraz. Penfolds produces Thomas Hyland Riesling in the Adelaide Hills, and even finds the area cool enough to bottle a Reserve Pinot Noir—a rare grape variety in Australia. Although a number of smaller wineries—notably Geoff Weaver and Nepenthe—briefly gained a foothold in the American market, then saw their distribution dry up after 2008, the current demand for a fresher style of wine is opening up opportunities once again. Shaw + Smith, founded more than 20 years ago by cousins Michael Hill Smith and Martin Shaw, is now one of the most intriguing operations in the Adelaide Hills. The estate is unique in boasting two Masters of Wine. Smith was the first Australian to pass the intense battery of exams. He is joined by David LeMire, who handles sales and

marketing for both Shaw + Smith and a second operation, Tolpuddle Vineyard in Tasmania. In this era of climate change, most wines on the market contain an alcohol level between 14.5 and 16 percent, but the Shaw + Smith offerings (with the exception of Shiraz) come in at a modest 12.5 percent—commonplace decades ago but almost never seen now. The 2015 Sauvignon Blanc ($22) features what LeMire describes as “a touch of herbaceousness rather than a mouthful of grass.” The 2013 Pinot Noir ($35) has a core of ripe, succulent red fruits framed by earth notes and supple tannins, while the rich and meaty 2013 Shiraz ($32) displays a range of black fruits.
The Shaw + Smith Tolpuddle winery has seen a renewal of vineyard activity over the past few decades. Tolpuddle’s 2014 Pinot Noir ($50) is ripe and edgy, with the fruit underlined by dried herbs, spice, and menthol. The 2013 Chardonnay ($48) is even better, with an explosion of citrus, melon, and green apple flavors, assertive and powerful but still balanced. Both are well worth seeking out. «

EAT, DRINK, AND BE AIRY Stuart-based architect and interior designer Michelle Balfoort of Balfoort Architecture brought a coastal essence to this Atlantic Ocean– adjacent home in Ponte Vedra. “Throughout the house, the finishes and materials were chosen for their textural quality or because of the way they reflect or capture light,” Balfoort says. “The island combines the use of the clean, white marble for the prep area and the wood upper top for dining, which adds a warm, rich tone to the space. The kitchen is set in a sea of blue-stone flooring, which enhances the glass backsplash that is reminiscent of beach glass. The cypress ceiling is simply sealed with a clear sealer to reveal the wood’s natural hues and beauty.” (772-834-5806, balfoort.co)

Begun in 1985 and completed in 2016, the residence is a replica Italian Renaissance villa. The term replica refers only to the fact that the residence is not located in Rome. Rather than copy a look, the owner commissioned a cadre of Italian and European masters, transporting craftsmanship, materials and old-world methods to Jupiter Island.
As with any one-of-a-kind marvel, seeing is believing. “For me, all these words are empty,” says the owner. “This is a place one must see, feel, experience.”
These artisans undertook the painstaking detail of building the property’s main villa and guest homes. Features such as the five golden domes, each nearly 30 feet high and hand painted by notable European artists, exquisite wall paintings and frescos, the nearly 30 foot high Roman atrium and the multiple antique renaissance-influenced wall décors are not copies. They are true and proper examples of these masters’ productions, executed in residence over the course of the property’s 30 year assembly.
One can appreciate But one must live Because it is a property of significance and museum-quality pieces fill the home does not mean one cannot live comfortably in it. Hardly. The owner takes great pleasure in

THE GARDENS MALL Jimmy Choo’s creative director, Sandra Choi, embraced contrast to achieve harmony for this winter’s collection. The references are manifold but never overt. Choi’s new five-strap sandal, named the Trick, is pure seduction, marrying a tapered, optical illusion heel with tough leather against raw suede and a glint of a buckle. The sandal is available in amber, army green, or black. The Lockett bag takes center stage, but has multiple personalities—either decorated to echo the shoe styles of the season or as a statement all its own.

We’ve all grown up hearing the familiar refrain: Eat your vegetables. On October 1, veggie lovers will celebrate that phrase with vigor in honor of World Vegetarian Day. The kickoff to Vegetarian Awareness Month, this day highlights the benefits of the diet, which range from lower levels of obesity to a reduced risk of heart disease, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. While some may dismiss vegetarian cuisine as boring, the chefs at Darbster in West Palm Beach know that veggies, in the right hands, can yield fantastic culinary results. As one of Palm Beach County’s goto vegan restaurants, Darbster is famous
for reimagining meaty comfort foods for plant-loving patrons. “That’s a great thing to convert things that people really enjoy into a healthier version,” says Gail Patak, Darbster’s executive chef. PBI recently challenged Patak and her colleague, Robert Schrotenboer, to create a dish that encapsulated the best of vegetarian cooking. The duo responded with not one dish, but a five-course meal—including a vegan dessert. As the restaurant’s executive raw chef, Schrotenboer highlighted local produce in
Clockwise from left: Pistachiocrusted tofu with soba noodles; vegan niçoise salad; vegan hummingbird cake.

a mango-lavender soup, a refreshing prelude to his take on a ceviche composed of oyster mushrooms, avocado, pepper, and sunflower sprouts. Patak followed with her spin on the niçoise salad, which featured all the classic ingredients but traded tuna for roasted peppers. Afterward, she served pan-seared, pistachio-crusted tofu alongside soba noodles tossed in sesame oil, sriracha, orange juice, and ginger. A former baker, Patak whipped up a vegan hummingbird cake, forgoing dairy and eggs in favor of vegan butter and soaked flaxseeds. You’d never know the difference.

Maternal Instincts
Pregnancy has the potential to be one of the most extraordinary times in a woman’s life. But if she’s experiencing a high-risk pregnancy, it can also be one of the most worrisome. Dr. Debra Jones, a local perinatologist, has dedicated her career to easing these anxieties and helping mothers bring healthy babies into the world. “I have a passion and a reverence for life,” Jones says. “The way that I’ve been able to act on my passion is through helping women have healthy babies.” Jones has long worked with mothers experiencing issues that lead to high-risk pregnancies, including preexisting health conditions like diabetes and hypertension, advanced maternal age, obesity, and carrying multiples. Now, she wants to help those dealing with one of today’s most pressing health concerns: addiction and substance-abuse disorder. In late July, Jones paired up with businesswoman Lori Fischer to open Mango Bay Retreat, a women’s addiction-treatment facility specializing in pregnancy and located in West Palm Beach. Mango Bay’s services range from traditional behavioral therapy to holistic approaches like yoga and meditation, as well as prenatal and parenting programs. The facility comprises a residential unit for women dealing intensively with
&

their addictions and an outpatient unit for counseling sessions. “We’re trying to build a comprehensive program to address the special needs of women, and pregnant women specifically, with substanceuse disorder,” Jones says. Mango Bay’s goal is to provide access to the care, knowledge, and services these women need to decrease the risk of their babies suffering from problems associated with addiction-related high-risk pregnancies, like intrauterine growth restrictions, neonatal abstinence syndrome, and preterm delivery. As with any pregnancy, Jones acknowledges, the most crucial time for a woman to get healthy is before conceiving. “If you’re contemplating pregnancy and have a substance-abuse disorder, that is the ideal time to come,” she says.

POISON APPLE IN AUGUST, THE 2017 EDITION OF THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS WAS RELEASED AND IT ONCE AGAIN NAMED THE MANCHINEEL AS THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS TREE. THERE’S JUST ONE PROBLEM: THE MANCHINEEL IS NATIVE TO SOUTH FLORIDA COASTAL REGIONS AND THE EVERGLADES. THIS ENDANGERED TREE THRIVES IN SANDY SOIL AND AMIDST MANGROVES— AND NEARLY EVERY PART OF IT IS POISONOUS. EATING ITS SMALL GREEN FRUIT (DUBBED THE MANZANITA DE LA MUERTE OR THE “LITTLE APPLE OF DEATH” BY SPANISH CONQUISTADORS) CAN CAUSE SEVERE PAIN AND DEATH. CONTACT WITH ITS HIGHLY ACIDIC WHITE SAP CAN LEAD TO BLISTERS AND—IF IT GETS INTO THE EYES—BLINDNESS. THE MORAL OF THE STORY: STEER CLEAR OF THESE GREEN “BEACH APPLES” AND THE TREES FROM WHICH THEY SPRING. (GUINNESSWORLDRECORDS.COM)

Play it Again
On October 13, The Wick Theatre kicks off its 2016-17 season with They’re Playing Our Song, a Neil Simon musical comedy about the love between a composer and a lyricist. Broadway veteran Andrea McArdle, best known for originating the role of everyone’s favorite redheaded orphan in Annie, will play budding lyricist Sonia. Though she’s brought Sonia to life before, McArdle is looking forward to portraying her with a new perspective only age can lend. “The first time I played Sonia, I think I was 19,” McArdle says. “I had none of the proper baggage that Sonia needs to really fly.” Throughout her decades-long career, which began with Annie in 1977 when she was only 13 years old, McArdle has performed in countless shows including Les Misérables and Starlight Express. However, none are as dear to her as They’re Playing Our Song. She notes parallels between her life and Sonia’s (she was married to a composer for 23 years, for instance) and has seen the musical onstage many times. She fondly recalls friendly ushers allowing her to stand in the back of the theater to watch the original 1979 production. “There’s nothing like seeing the whole original production in its entirety, and it shaped me a whole bunch,” she says. “The show is actually a part of my personal legacy. It’s special to me.” (561-9952333, thewick.org) —Mary Murray

This Halloween, there are plenty of occasions for kids and grownups to celebrate with a spooky-good time. On October 22, Loggerhead Marinelife Center will host its annual sea turtle–themed celebration, Turtleween, which features trickor-treating with the loggerheads and costume competitions. The terror continues on October 27 at the City of West Palm Beach’s Clematis by Fright, complete with creepy hay rides, caricaturists, and costume contests for animals and humans. Finally, there’s Devil’s Night presented by The Gentlemen of the Garden on October 29. Hosted at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens, this event will treat costumed revelers to lavish cuisine, open bars, and a Cirque du Soleil–inspired performance. Tickets cost $250.

The bond between sisters is like love itself: stalwart and sublime. Nancy Brinker would know. In 1982, two years after her older sister, Susan, lost her fight to breast cancer, Brinker founded Susan G. Komen, a grassroots organization whose sole mission was to stamp out the deadly disease. Today, it’s the largest breast cancer charity in the world. A breast cancer survivor herself, Brinker has received myriad awards for her altruistic spirit, including the 2009 Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. She also supports charities like the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which, in partnership with Susan G. Komen, provides free mammograms and other health services to at-risk women in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, and Russia.
