From the Publisher

Each year, it is our privilege to help numerous charities throughout our area. This season, we began assisting a few more nonprofits and, like all charities, they have compelling needs.

For the first time, Palm Beach Illustrated will sponsor the Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County’s thirty-fourth annual gala at The Breakers on March 13. This elegant black-tie affair, formerly known as The Winter Ball, is the longest-running event in the chapter’s history.

We will also once again sponsor the Center for Family Services’ Old Bags Luncheon, being held at The Breakers on March 5. This year’s guest speaker will be Joan Collins, who will talk about her audition for Cleopatra, her experiences working with some of Hollywood’s best stars and, of course, her notorious relationships over the years.

This season also saw the opening of unique restaurants and eateries, like One Kombucha in Palm Beach Gardens. This healthy new addition brews numerous blends of Kombucha, an ancient tea that originated in Asia in 212 BC. It tastes like a tart cider and has multiple probiotic benefits. Stop by and have a glass from the tap.

And, in case you hadn’t noticed, Boca Raton is fast becoming home to a number of raw, vegan and organic restaurants, including The Seed. This hidden gem specializes in locally roasted coffee, raw seasonal juices and smoothies, and more.

As you experience all our area has to offer this month—and enjoy the spectacular weather—remember to help those less fortunate by donating your time or resources. You’ll be glad you did.

We’ve always known the Palm Beach area has its share of beautiful women, but we didn’t know just how deep that beauty ran until we asked our readers.

In November of last year, we issued a call for nominations for our annual feature, “Palm Beach Beauties.” We were looking for women who are beautiful in every way, from their strong sense of personal style to their formidable leadership abilities and from their courage to their compassion. We were overwhelmed by the response—and were faced with the unenviable task of short-listing the candidates, all of whom were worthy of the honor.

To give every nominee a level playing field, we asked our readers to vote for the women they believed personified the concept of beauty. After tallying thousands of votes, we had five winners: a model/actress with a heart of gold; a life coach who’s overcome the worst kind of adversity; a Realtor with a soft spot for animals; an ad exec who’s started a charity to distribute shoes to needy children worldwide; and an attorney who balances county politics with a profound message to women. Meet them all—and read their stories—in our beautiful photographic package, starting on page 78.

This month also marks our annual tribute to spring style, starting with our cover. The Palm Beach-perfect pink and green gown is one of the most iconic looks of the Oscar de la Renta Spring/Summer 2015 collection, the last bearing the designer’s signature before his death in October. We chose it as a tribute to the maestro, who had dressed some of the most stylish women in the world, including so many here in Palm Beach.

In “Style at Sea” (page 94), photographer Gabor Jurina presents his sexy, sophisticated take on the yachting life, featuring fresh nautical looks curated by Fashion Editor Katherine Lande. And in “Runway to Reality” (page 104), the hottest trends emerging from spring runways are reinterpreted for the Palm Beach wardrobe. I don’t know about you, but I have to have those Roger Vivier gladiators.

“Runway to Reality” will be one of the features shared on “The Scene,” the weekly videos produced in partnership with CBS12 and airing on palmbeachillustrated.com and cbs12.com. I hope you’ll enjoy watching our content come to life.

LOG ON Jeremy Wade seeks out “monsters” like the goliath tiger fish (right).

Wild Thing

Jeremy Wade has traveled the world searching for—and catching—monsters. The biologist, writer and fisherman is host of Animal Planet’s popular television program River Monsters. Whether landing a toothy goliath tiger fish in the Congo or the odd goonch catfish in India, Wade has made it his mission to bring these misunderstood “monsters” to the surface, educating viewers about animals they never knew existed. On March 5, Wade will be the keynote speaker at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium’s annual gala, taking place at the Flagler Museum. We caught up with the extreme angler to hear a few fish tales.

PBI: What’s the wildest place you’ve been in pursuit of a fish?

JW: The Congo in Central Africa; it is just a part of the world outsiders don’t normally go. I had heard about a fish called the goliath tiger fish there, which is actually a relative to the piranha. It is a few feet long with piranha-like teeth that are as big as an inch long. It sounded almost unbelievable; I wanted to see this thing for myself.

What worries you most about these river monsters?

What frightens me more is a world without monsters because if these things are not in our waters, it is a sign the water quality is not good. And that is bad news for us. … If they are not there, there is actually something wrong with the whole food pyramid—it doesn’t exist.

season. Enjoy this sweet, tropical ambrosia like a true Floridian with this recipe for spicy pineapple shrimp kabobs.

Serves 4 Skewer ingredients ¾ pound large Gulf shrimp, deveined and peeled 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks (reserve juice for marinade) 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces Marinade ingredients 2 tbs. olive oil 2 tbs. pineapple juice (reserved from pineapple) 2 tbs. lime juice 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1 tsp. lime zest Salt and crushed red pepper to taste In a medium bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Add shrimp, pineapple, bell pepper and onion, lightly stirring to coat. Cover and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes, stirring to recoat halfway through.

On skewers, place shrimp, pineapple, onion and pepper, leaving a small gap between each—enough to make four 14-inch kabobs.

Heat grill and brush oil on rack to prevent shrimp from sticking.

Place kabobs on grill over medium heat and cover. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning kabobs and brushing with marinade once. Remove kabobs from grill when shrimp are pink and vegetables tender.

i

t took a glamorous, fearless actress to play Alexis Carrington Colby, the villainous diva of the 1980s hit soap opera Dynasty—and Joan Collins was perfect for the part. The British actress, who’s starred in dozens of TV shows, movies and plays, is most recognized for her role in the dramatic series, which revolved around a wealthy Texas family; her performance was credited for boosting the show’s ratings and garnered her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. Off camera, Collins has written lifestyle, memoir and nonfiction books and, as her most recent honor, was named a dame in January

by Queen Elizabeth II. Known for her charm, wit and askme-anything personality, she will be the featured speaker at the Center for Family Services of Palm Beach

County’s seventeenth annual Old Bags Luncheon, taking place March 5 at The Breakers in Palm Beach. Tickets cost $350. (561-616-1222, ctrfam.org) —Jennifer Pfaff How easy was it for you to play Alexis?

Contrary to popular belief, I have very little in common with Alexis, aside from her fierce mothering instinct.

She was a smart businesswoman with an instinct for finance and power, which sometimes I wished I shared.

But through the nine years I played her, I came to love her. John Gielgud told me, when he was playing Richard III, that it was crucial to love your character, even if you are playing the most dastardly villain, as it will bring richness and complexity to the script.

Joan Collins

One of the biggest draws at the Old Bags Luncheon is the handbag auction. Do you have a favorite purse?

Chanel is by far my favorite, but I have a penchant for some vintage Judith Leibers. I have the newest Louis Vuitton in a dark burgundy crocodile, which I think is simply divine.

What’s your top beauty secret?

Stay out of the sun. Nothing ravages the skin more than the elements, so it’s why I wear sun protection and always wear makeup—makeup, particularly SPF products, is a godsend to keep your skin youthful, radiant and nourished.

Miami City Ballet dancers in “The Concert,” showing March 27-29

Fourth stop: Catch a matinee show in the district’s leading performance hall: the Kravis Center. Top picks this month include Miami City Ballet performances on March 1 and from March 27-29, Anything Goes from March 10-15 and “Princess Grace: Her Movies, Her Men, Her Monaco”—a moderated discussion of Grace Kelly—on March 16. (561-832-7469, kravis.org)

Culture Route

Late last year, downtown West Palm Beach connected more than 20 cultural institutions in the city and in Palm Beach by designating them part of the new Arts and Entertainment District—and they were made all the more navigable with the addition of a special trolley line that stops at several of the venues. The orange line trolley runs Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., bringing patrons to places like the Flagler Museum, the Mandel Public Library/Palm Beach Photographic Centre and the Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum, as well as local hotels for area visitors.

To get your culture fill, we’ve curated a short itinerary of where to ride the trolley this month. Like the other lines, you don’t need a ticket for this complimentary ride—only a little arts enthusiasm. (561-833-8873, downtownwpb.com)

Second stop: Take the trolley to the Norton Museum of Art and view the English countryside through the eyes of renowned artists in “Pastures Green: The British Passion for Landscape.”

The pieces, on loan from the National Museum Wales, include works from the Industrial Revolution through today. (561-8325196, norton.org)

Fifth stop: End the trolley tour with a drink and bite at Bistro Ten Zero One, inside the West Palm Beach Marriott. We crave the brussels sprouts, flavored with bacon, caramelized shallots and a whiskey maple glaze, paired with the blackberry mojito.

Northwood Village will look even more colorful this year with the addition of 13 metal art sculptures on display throughout the district. The modern pieces, on loan for a year, were created by the late David Hayes, who sculpted dozens of works over six decades. Visitors can’t miss the life-size installations outside establishments like Café Centro and the area’s 11 galleries—where even more art is waiting to be discovered. (561822-1551, wpb.org/northwood)

Third stop: Cross the Royal Palm Bridge to the Society of the Four Arts for a stroll through the property or a brief arts education. This month, we recommend enrolling in the three-day “iPhoneography” class, held March 11-13 from noon to 4 p.m. Participants will learn everything about using an iPhone camera, including relevant apps, and get tools to develop a photographic eye.

Stop by on a Wednesday for a guided tour at 11 a.m.—or, for an even more personalized experience, learn how to paint with Evans at ANSG on March 2 or March 16 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The class costs $25, and guests should bring their own supplies, including a mat or stool.

Gone Mad

wings to grow March 20 is the first day of spring, and perhaps no image better represents the season of renewal than a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.

The number of butterflies in Palm Beach County has risen since 2012, according to the South Florida chapter of the North American Butterfly Association—thanks in large part to butterfly gardening.

Butterfly gardening requires two types of plants: a host, on which butterflies can lay their eggs, and a nectar plant for food. Our chart (right) outlines host plants that nourish common caterpillars. Cultivate these, along with firebush for nectar once they become butterflies, and your garden will be full of fluttering creatures.

Seed for Thought These plants are easy to grow in small gardens and affect the color of the caterpillars: They turn green if they eat the leaves and yellow if they eat the flowers.

Black Swallowtail caterpillars and butterflies only emerge in warm months— they spend the winter as pupae.

“

For me, simplicity— not excess—is very important.”

a carolina herrer

Who: Carolina Herrera Known for: Classic, sophisticated women’s ready-to-wear since 1981 and bridal fashions since 1987 Family roots: Born in Venezuela, she has four daughters, two of whom work for her brand Current collection: Spring/summer 2015 uses a digital motif, graphic prints and techno fabrics Leaving a legacy: She’s been crowned “Fashion’s First Lady” because she’s dressed women holding the official title, including Jacqueline Onassis and Michelle Obama

by Jennifer Pfaff Tell us about your inspiration for this collection.

I found a flower—a tulip—and we put it in the computer. And what came out was a different color code that I used through the whole collection.

What’s your favorite piece in the current collection?

Ooh, I love them all. It’s like if I have four daughters but I can love only one [laughs].

They are on the runways because they all are my favorites.

You’re known for designs that exude elegance and class. How can a woman convey that in her style?

I think it’s very much inside the person. But for me, simplicity—not excess—is very important.

Two of your daughters are very involved in the company. How have they helped the brand evolve?

Carolina has been involved in the company since ’96, and Patricia is in the design team. ...

They have great taste, great style, and I love to see the way they do it. [They bring] a different eye, and I always look at the young people to see what are they wearing, the way they should wear it.

You’ve designed for several celebrities. Who’s been the most memorable to work with?

Renée Zellweger. I love her, because she decides on her own. She doesn’t have a stylist—never.

When she wanted something, we worked together. And I like that, because it’s really her own style and what she wants to look like.

Is there someone in particular for whom you’d love to design?

I think for all the women! [laughs] The women of today.

ali. The name alone evokes tranquility, wanderlust, excitement and romantic visions of an exotic land blessed with eternal natural beauty and time-honored culture. Rising between the Indian Ocean and the Bali Sea, the island in the heart of the Indonesian archipelago has evolved as a global hotspot for sun-drenched bliss and cultural tourism—a honeymoon destination, a bucket-list vacation, a must-see on the Southeast Asia tourist trail.

But unlike the untouched Bali of the 1970s, when tourism commenced along its densely forested volcanic beaches, today’s Bali

is a dichotomous world. For village elders, the island is hardly recognizable in its highly globalized southernmost reaches. This area, unofficially dubbed “New Bali,” consists of the southern mainland and a small peninsula housing populated and touristy regions like Nusa Dua, Legian and Seminyak. It is here where the majority of high-end tourism development continues, often delivering show-stopping resorts that serve as selfcontained destinations.

However, limiting a journey to New Bali forgoes the essence of Southeast Asia’s island gem—“Traditional Bali.”

Found along the island’s east coast and deep in its interior, this region captures Bali’s timeless spirit.

Far removed from the chaos of modernity, travelers lose themselves in the hospitality of daily village life, the rewarding treks through rice fields, the burgeoning indigenous arts and craft scene and the odalan ceremonies held at temples. This is the Bali of fairy tales.

The Rustic East Beyond Bali’s resort-strewn south, frenetic traffic gives way to isolated roads bordered by stacked rice terraces and lush jungle. Scenes of village life usurp the fast-food 66

and motorcycle calamity. Circumventing the eastern coastline towards the traditional villages of Manggis, Candidasa and Tenganan Pegringsingan, colossal vines and palm trees vie for space along dramatic cliffsides. Secluded beaches usher in the rising tides from the Lombok Strait.

Navigating this shoreline feels like a journey back in time. Women stroll along roadsides, balancing buckets of salak (snake fruit) on their heads, and children weave delicate floral arrangements called banten canang as religious offerings for life-cycle ceremonies. The colors, smiles and sounds are vibrantly expressive. Many of these traditional scenes stem from the Balinese devotion to their own version of Hinduism— Agama Hindu Dharma. This fidelity has resulted in an island known for “1,000 temples” (though there are likely more), none more important than the eleventh-century Mother Temple of Besakih, the inspiration

for every temple found in Balinese villages.

Unobtrusively situated in this timeless land, East Bali’s most prized resort, the 34villa Amankila (amanresorts.com) serves as a gateway to the island’s coastal stronghold of anthropology and ecology, fostering crosscultural interactions in nearby villages and facilitating day trips throughout the magnificent countryside. Guests at Amankila, or “peaceful hill,” can balance pampering with immersion in Balinese nature and traditions.

An early morning sunrise trek to picturesque Gumang Hill or a snorkeling cruise aboard Aman XII is complemented by an afternoon of spa treatments and a beachside private candlelit dinner. Likewise, a full afternoon of exploring villages, visiting renowned water palaces and bargaining in local markets often begins with a picnic breakfast on top of the world at one of Amankila’s romantic satellite bales (hilltop, covered day beds) and later ends with a rijsttafel dinner, a 10-course Indonesian dining extravaganza.

The Rich Interior Coastal beauty notwithstanding, Bali’s rich interior is the pinnacle of the island’s exotic appeal and ethnic grandeur. The city of Ubud

and its proximate villages showcase the island’s living culture, where artists interpret the modernization of traditional living, esteemed Balinese architecture abounds, village elders trek through the gates of mountaintop luxury hotels to fetch holy water from the temples below and the Agung River breathes life into all that grows around her. A seamless amalgamation of alternating levels of dense forest and rice terraces, this is the Bali of legends.

In Ubud, one can reside in either the heart of the cultural action or the jungle surrounds. The centrally located luxury boutique hotel Uma by COMO (comohotels.com/ umaubud) sits near the city’s prolific arts scene.

Here, visitors can easily access renowned yoga centers, cooking schools and convivial villages where healers, wood carvers and silversmiths carry on the customs of generations past. Farther afield, the COMO Shambhala Estate (comohotels.com/comoshambhalaestate) is the evergreen of Ubud inspiration and enlightenment. In addition to private villas, rooms and suites, accommodations include five luxury residences and five retreat villas, each with motifs like fire, water and Earth reflected in high design.

Organized as three-, five- and seven-day wellness programs, the personal sojourn at

COMO Shambhala Estate begins with a consultation from the in-house Ayurvedic doctor, who prepares a bespoke itinerary for time spent at the property. Days alternate between spa treatments, hilltop yoga and Pilates classes, jungle treks and unapologetic relaxation interspersed by guiltless indulgence in innovative organic meals and juices. The suggested structure leaves ample time for a cathartic journey of self—time to get lost around the 23-acre estate and explore the natural spring pools hugging the mountain’s edge. Here, you can delight in the sounds and sights of nature at the riverbank, ponder personal achievement and test physical fitness at the bona fide “jungle gym.”

It seems ironic an island celebrated for its coastal majesty boasts some of its greatest treasures inland. In fact, Bali’s fortunes are everywhere—distributed over its vast volcanoes, lush mountains, and remote and crowded beaches, where timeless villages and five-star resorts coexist. This multifaceted island has evolved as a land of diverse escapism, be that adventure, relaxation or self-reflection, amid living history and natural wonder. «

The Light Fantastic Cadillac’s 2015 Escalade ESV lights up the luxury SUV market with a focus on quality and craftsmanship

By Howard Walker

e all love a good light show. The Eiffel Tower twinkling like a Swarovski necklace; the Bellagio fountains in Vegas; the lasers at a Pink Floyd concert—all are incandescently breathtaking.

For the fourth-generation Escalade SUV, the designers and engineers at Cadillac decided to put on an automotive light show to rival the Dolby Theatre on Oscars night. And it is quite spectacular.

With 142 bright-white diodes making up the front and rear lights, this Caddy shines brighter than Julia Roberts after a session with a box of Crest whitening strips.

These are not any old LEDs. The headlights incorporate the industry’s first use of Total In-

72

ternal Reflection LED technology. It’s a cool way of punching out a huge beam of light from tiny LEDs and complex crystal lenses.

But even the Escalade’s front lighting pales when compared to its rear light blades. These skinny vertical stacks of LEDs—29 per light— ascend more than three feet high, from bumper to the top of the tailgate.

Tap the brake pedal and those behind get blasted by shafts of searing red light that glow like Lord Vader’s light saber.

Of course, all this fancy lighting is just window dressing on what is the most premium Escalade yet.

It’s new from the tires up with dramatic styling that embraces Cadillac’s origami design

PRICE: From $75,690 ENGINE: 6.2-liter V-8 POWER: 420 hp TORQUE: 460 pound-feet TRANSMISSION: 6-speed automatic 0-60: 6 seconds TOP SPEED: 113 mph LENGTH/ WIDTH: 224.3/68.6 inches WEIGHT: 5,795 pounds WHY WE LOVE IT: Because it’s hard to think of a more luxurious way of transporting seven people.

philosophy. Run a finger along the razor-sharp waistline and you’ll be rushing for a Band-Aid. If the front grille wasn’t big enough before, this version is beyond huge, embellished with a Cadillac wreath-and-crest badge the size of a Camry’s hubcap.

If automakers were supposedly embracing downsizing, certainly no one at Cadillac got the memo. This 2015 Escalade is 1.4 inches lon-

PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

ger and 1.5 inches wider than before. As in the past, it comes in two sizes: standard and the ESV version, which is stretched by a whopping 14 inches compared to the regular model.

Order the ESV in black, and your neighbors might think someone died and the hearse has arrived.

Those extra inches, however, only expand a cabin that already felt as cavernous as the inside of the Mar-a-Lago Club. Three rows with seating for seven is standard, but now legroom in the middle row feels positively limo-like.

With this Escalade ESV, owners no longer feel like they’re wrestling a gator when folding down the third-row seat. It now power-folds at the touch of a button. Fold forward the middle row, and jets could land on the load space floor.

The really big change comes with the heightened quality of the interior fixtures and fittings.

The whole cabin is now a sea of hand-stitched leather and suede, hand-finished veneers and sexy brushed metal, and panel gaps that could barely squeeze an ace of spades between.

As for noise, it’s whisper-quiet courtesy of triplesealed doors, acoustic-laminated glass and Bose Active Noise Cancellation technology—plus a direct-injection 6.2-liter V-8 that thinks it’s a sewing machine.

With 420 hp on tap, the big V-8 can launch this Escalade from rest to 60 mph in just six seconds with little more than a distant whoosh from under that pool-table-sized hood.

And with new Magnetic Ride dampers, electric variable-assist steering and a high-strength steel chassis stiffer than the Brooklyn Bridge, this XXL-sized SUV is a joy to drive. Body roll is minimal, the steering is super-precise and the brakes could stop time.

Escalade pricing starts at $72,970 for the shortwheelbase model and $75,690 for the ESV. But you’ll want the ESV Platinum at $93,270, which takes the Escalade into Bentley territory.

You’ll probably get even more lights with that version. «

Lose your inhibition, follow your intuition, free your inner soul and break away from tradition.”

denise-marie nieman Occupation: Palm Beach County Attorney Beauty Factor: happy soul, positive thinker, Community activist, spiritualist, author What she loves about her job: In addition to no two days ever being the same in the past 28 years I’ve been with the county attorney’s office, I am blessed to work for and with brilliant people who care about Palm Beach County. I learn something new every day.

First job: Phil Youtie, the founder of David’s Bridal, gave me my first job as a stock girl when I was 14.

Today, he still serves as one of the most influential people in my life. On philanthropy: Making dollar donations is important, but being charitable day by day through our words and actions is empowering and benevolent, too. Intangibles such as a listening ear, a kind word, compassion, appreciation, acknowledgment, even a smile can positively impact the world in a way that doesn’t cost a dime—only a flash of your time. Her spiritual path: From day one I sensed that there was an unseen team taking care of me. Trust and faith in something bigger than ourselves changes everything for the better. Will always remember: My middle school art teacher, Mrs. Stafford, who recognized not only my artistic talents but also my escapeartist needs at that time in my life. She still comes to mind when I have any doubt about being able to do something.

robbyn ackner Occupation: Motivational and inspirational speaker, certified life coach, fitness mentor, accountability partner, wellness consultant Beauty Factor: Adoring wife, triumphant survivor, women’s advocate Why she loves her job: As a domestic violence survivor, a rape survivor and a woman who has struggled with obesity issues and more—I am my audience. The challenges and adversities I’ve experienced in my life have given me the ability to understand what many people are dealing with. Proudest achievement: In January 2005, I made myself a priority for the first time in my life and removed all of the negative and toxic people from my life. Once I tapped into that strength and changed my mindset, the weight I had carried around my whole life began to melt off. I am living proof that it is possible to lose weight without resorting to drastic and life-altering weight-loss surgery, because I did it the good old-fashioned way: with focus, hard work and determination. Favorite pastime: Powerlifting. In November 2014, I competed in the USA Powerlifting Florida Southeastern USA Regional Championships, and I set the record in Florida for women in my age and weight class in bench and deadlift. Most influential person in her life: My husband, Richard, who supports me in all ways. He is my hero and biggest cheerleader. Words she lives by: Find the positive in every day and don’t dwell on the negative. Make each step one towards where you want to be in life.

Susan and Lloyd Miller open their home for a glittering occasion: the Ultimate Dinner Party

“I believe in Children’s Home Society,” says Chef Roderick Smith (below), who has a niece—now a model—who was adopted from CHS. “I like the intimacy and also the charity” of the Ultimate Dinner Party, he adds. The Millers (far left) both wore Tom Ford for the evening.

A

cross a long table of shimmering candles, chiming silverware and smartly dressed guests, Susan Miller locked eyes with her husband, Lloyd, sitting at the opposite end. They exchanged a brief smile, then turned away to carry on conversations with their respective neighbors.

The moment was an unspoken agreement of satisfaction for successfully hosting a renowned dinner party that comes with high expectations—and life-changing results.

In November, the Millers participated for the first time in the Ultimate Dinner Party, an annual charity event benefiting the Children’s Home Society of Florida. Guests gather at a private home in Palm Beach for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, then disperse to separate residences for a gourmet meal prepared by American Culinary Federation chefs. Now in its twenty-second year, the evening relies on the generosity of hosts and chefs—who all volunteer their time and resources for the event—to raise funds for CHS. “Everybody gives; nobody takes,” summarizes Chef Roderick Smith, founder of Farms to Chefs, a local produce distribution company, who orchestrated the Millers’ dinner.

The family, who moved to Palm Beach from Naples three years ago, volunteered to host one of the dinners at the suggestion of friend JoAnna Myers, who hosted the

evening’s cocktail party with her husband, Stephen.

“I’d actually never heard of it before, because we’re so new to the island,” Susan says, “and I thought it was such a wonderful idea.”

The evening was the perfect opportunity for Susan, a stay-at-home mom, and Lloyd, a financier, to give back to the community they now call home. The parents of five children—ages 25, 23 and 11, plus 7-yearold twins—decided to relocate to the area because “we wanted to be in a more active, beautiful environment and better schools for our children,” Susan says. She now spends her days partaking in activities like tennis. Their youngest three children attend Palm Beach Day Academy.

The setting for the evening, the Millers’ home on South Ocean Boulevard is the former estate of Conrad Black, the media magnate who made national headlines when he was convicted of fraud in 2007. Built in 1973 and completely restored in 2000, the gorgeous yellow British Colonial home sits on three acres that stretch from the Intracoastal to the Atlantic Ocean.

By opening their home as an Ultimate Dinner Party location, the Millers revealed a glimpse of the once-buzzedabout estate reborn as a tasteful residence for a young, active family.

When they purchased it, “the house had a lot of color in it—a lot of pink,” Susan recalls. “The main room was pink. My office was red. Everything’s white now, with a lot of gray.”

“I wanted it to be fresh and have a lot of life to it and have a lot of elegance, charm and be livable,” she adds. “When you walk in, it’s very serene but enjoyable to the eye.”

Upon arrival, guests were treated to cocktails in an all-white, second-floor sitting room that overlooks the great lawn and Intracoastal. The room’s only pop of color comes from the shelves of hardcover books organized by color, a rainbow of literature throughout the space.

“The Blacks had books all over the house,” Susan says. “We asked if we could keep some of them. He didn’t leave me that much, just a little bit.”

As guests mingled, Smith and his team of chefs prepared the evening’s courses in the kitchen, one of the home’s biggest transformations. While the previous homeowners used it as servant’s quarters, “we live in the kitchen,” Susan jokes. The Millers opened the space, installed state-of-the-art appliances and created a children’s area nearby.

Susan loves to cook for the family and sources ingredients from the estate’s grounds.

“I have an organic garden out here,” she says. “I plant fresh rosemary and basil. We have avocado trees and banana trees. We actually eat off our property.”

For the Ultimate Dinner Party menu, Susan requested three to eight courses of clean, quality, simplistic dishes—a difficult feat, Smith admits. The resulting five-course meal—free of dairy, butter and fried foods—reflected the Millers’ personal cooking ethos.

“We are a very organic family. We like everything to be free of any toxins,” Susan says. “We eat super healthy. Everything around my house—even what I use on my lawn—is nontoxic.”

The healthy meal was served in the sleek, graywalled dining room, which was decorated for the occasion in Susan’s sparkly style. A large chandelier hung above a Christian Liaigre dining table decorated 92

“I like to feed people,” Susan says. “We're total foodies. I watch the Food Channel all the time, and I get a lot of ideas. And I like to decorate the room.”

by Susan and by home-decor doyenne Mary Mahoney with smoky-topaz-hued placemats and Christofle silverware. Candles illuminated silver accents and bouquets of white hydrangea dusted with glitter. The room exuded a sophisticated, sexy ambiance.

“We spent all day on that table,” Susan laughs. “I woke up that day, and Mary was in there [already]. It takes a village.”

Once everyone was seated, each guest introduced himself or herself to the table, then the first course was served: a French lentil soup made with amaranth microgreens and heirloom tomatoes from Delray Beach. The soup was followed by pan-seared wild Scottish salmon served with braised fennel saffron risotto and dressed with lemon beurre blanc.

Up next was Susan’s favorite course: a roast rack of Colorado lamb seasoned with a thyme demi-glace and sides of grilled asparagus, roasted fall vegetables, rosemary garlic potatoes and wild mushroom ragout.

Catering the dinner was a family affair inside and outside the kitchen for Smith, who worked at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort and Spa in Jupiter before it became Trump National Golf Club Jupiter: His wife and daughter were part of the evening’s culinary team, and he has a niece who was adopted from CHS. Because the charity is so personal to him, he has participated in the Ultimate Dinner Party every year since its inception. “I’m the last surviving chef,” he jokes.

However, it was the first Ultimate Dinner Party for Pastry Chef Jira Baird of Loews Miami Beach, who saw the occasion also as

For the decor, Susan knew she wanted “a lot of bling,” she laughs. The candles enhanced the glow of the evening.

an opportunity to study event catering from Smith. She prepared the final course: a Grand Marnier soufflé topped with mixed berries.

The light dessert was served with a passed cheese trio and dark chocolate truffles.

As guests bid adieu at the end of the night, they complimented their hosts on the delicious meal—and sent accolades long after the evening passed.

“I received thank-you cards, I received emails, I received some invites to come back,” Susan laughs.

And now that they’ve hosted their first Ultimate Dinner Party, the Millers are eager for their next opportunity to entertain in Palm Beach.

“There’s more to come,” Susan assures. « palmbeachillustrated.com | MARCH 2015

Stroll and Squint: Those Dancing Pineapples

“I must be the most well-known local artist that no one’s heard of,” Anita Lovitt jokes. “They know about the Dancing Pineapples but not about me.”

The mural is hard to miss: Located on the east wall of the Love Shack building at 137 East Atlantic, its large-scale, vivid colors and vibrant imagery of dancing pineapples announce to visitors that this part of town is serious about the arts. As popular as it is, though, things looked different when it was painted in 2008.

“It was the middle of the recession,” Lovitt recalls. “The town had a grant for the project, and there was a competition organized by the late Susan Keleher,” program manager for Pineapple Grove Main Street Inc. who organized the competition for the Dancing Pineapples grant. “I had never done a mural before and didn’t have the equipment, but she persuaded me to enter.”

The challenge was to make the painting visible from a distance but also appreciable from close up. Lovitt had studied set design and applied some of those principles to the project, first taking a picture of the site and then layering in the images with Photoshop. It was completed in October 2008 with the assistance of Benjamin Moore, who donated the paint. She credits her therapist, art lover Daniel Lobovits, for convincing her to follow through.

“It’s a landmark,” she says. “I’m honored and happy that people like it.”

The Pineapple Grove Arts District is a colorful section off Atlantic Avenue, on Northeast Second Avenue and Northeast Fourth Avenue.

The eclectic area is home to eateries, boutiques, entertainment venues, residences and outdoor art.

Business owners in Artists Alley (top) include painters like Vincent Cacace, owner of the Cacace Fine Art gallery, who created Hurricane House, Islamorada (left).

Top and above: The Arts Garage hosts live performances as well as acting classes for all ages. Below: The Giver by Jeff Whyman, owner of Jeff Whyman Studio in Artists Alley.

The Garage

At the intersection of Northeast Second Avenue and Northeast First Street is the Arts Garage. The location is both concrete and symbolic: It signifies a zone where artistic expression of all sorts is vibrant and thriving.

The Garage began as a pilot program in 2011 and has grown exponentially. The organization hosts live music events, sponsors art exhibitions, stages the works of both established and up-and-coming playwrights and offers classes for preteens, teens and adults.

Its community roots run deep. Arts Garage created a hip-hop dance program at the Milagro Center, helped develop arts education at SD Spady Elementary School and Plumosa School of the Arts and fostered a vocational program for 16- to 21-year-old students who have fallen through the cracks of the school system. In addition, Arts Garage has worked with the city on a Young Artist Program and helped Veterans Park create educational opportunities for preschoolers.

Perhaps best of all is Arts Garage’s BYOW (Bring Your Own Whatever) policy—guests can arrive at events with wine and food of their choice.

“Artists like to stick together,” says Vincent Cacace, who founded Artists Alley in 2011. “We wanted to do the same thing for visual art created in Delray that the Arts Garage has done for the performing arts.”

The Alley is a warehouse building between Northeast Third Avenue, Lake Ida Road, Northeast Third Street and the railroad tracks—“a little bit of the end-ofthe-road feeling,” he says, “but affordable.” Here is the home of 31 artists in 21 spaces, ranging from painting and sculpture to pottery and photography. They host an open house with wine and cheese on the third Thursday of each month from 6-9 p.m. and are a featured stop on Artwalk, held the first Friday of the month. Some locals liken it to Soho in Manhattan, but Cacace feels the project is unique.

“We’re becoming a colony, a little bit of Bohemia,” he says. “I’d eventually like to see 50 or 60 artists and hopefully a major art show. It will bring restaurants and cafes to the area and attract art tourists to Delray.”

Flashback: Delray Camera

To Grove residents, Delray Camera seems to have been around forever, but in reality the store moved to its present location from Atlantic Avenue in the mid1960s. “I was born in the back room,” jokes Chris Reich, who has worked at the shop since 1968. He was present when the late Norman Radin coined the name Pineapple

Left and below: Delray Camera has called the Grove home for the past 50 years.

Hidden Gem: Murder on the Beach

Founder and manager JoAnn Sinchuck opened Murder on the Beach bookstore in Sunny Isles in 1996 and moved to Delray in 2002. Although specializing in mysteries, the bookshop is the vibrant epicenter for all of the area’s literary life.

On the evolution of the Grove: “When I arrived, it was just Delray Camera, O’Connor’s Irish Pub and me. It’s nice to see more restaurants and galleries, because they bring people into the area from elsewhere.”

Grove. Radin was a visionary local businessman who conceptualized a thriving arts and cultural district that would attract tourists to the area.

The Grove in 1968: “It was much sleepier back then—Second Avenue was a nice street with a butcher shop, grocery, toy store and greasy spoon. In summer, you could put a lawn chair in the middle of the street and talk to passersby; now, I’m lucky to get out of the parking lot.”

The Grove today: “It has morphed into an enterprise zone, but the original spirit is still here. Aside from the art, the best thing is the proliferation of great restaurants. The smells wafting into the street in the middle of the afternoon are just amazing.”

On the digital revolution: “It hasn’t hurt us, but we have to carry a lot more lenses and accessories. We had three binoculars in stock when I started, and now we have 160. Customers drive up from Miami to look at them.”

On doing business the old-fashioned way: “We think of this as a general store: a place where people can drink coffee, hang out and talk to us. We’ll spend an hour showing you how to work a camera. No chain store is going to do that.”

On the value of an indie bookstore: “If we had nothing but chain bookstores, there would only be superstar authors. We’re the ones that nourish up-andcoming writers.”

Favorite hangout: “I love the Arts Garage—I’m a big fan of jazz and blues, and I appreciate that you can bring in your own food and wine.”

On giving back to the community: “Over the years, bookstores have become entertainment venues.

We do author signings, literary luncheons, murder mystery shows and writing seminars. Last year, nearly 1,000 people attended our literary lunches, so that’s 1,000 extra meals served up by area restaurants.” palmbeachillustrated.com | MARCH 2015

Farm to Fork

Two of Pineapple Grove’s most popular restaurants are Max’s Harvest (top and top right) and Papa’s Tapas (above).

Dining Hotspots

Restaurants, bars and eateries of all sorts have been a prime motivation for bringing visitors into the Grove.

Some of the don’t-miss destinations include: Bistro 241, featuring an eclectic, changing menu devoted to the day’s freshest ingredients. 241 N.E. 2nd Ave. (561-330-4080, bistro241.com) 3rd and 3rd, part restaurant, part craft cocktail bar, part underground sensation. 301 N.E. 3rd Ave. (561303-1939, 3rdand3rd.com) Papa's Tapas, a storefront serving authentic dishes from regions of Spain at lunch and dinner. 259 N.E. 2nd Ave. (561-266-0599, papastapasdelray.com) The New Vegan, specializing in “nutritional value without having to compromise between taste and health.” 528 N.E. 2nd St. (561-404-5301, thenewvegan llc.com)

Max’s Harvest, now in its fourth year, has been a model for fresh and sustainable food in the Grove. PBI sat down with owner Dennis Max to get his perspective on what the trend means.

Inspiration: “I grew up in California, so I’ve been on this path for a while. But in recent years, there’s been a proliferation of wonderful farms in Florida—we can meet the farmers and actually have them develop products for us, which wasn’t possible before. It’s not just produce: There’s free-range chicken and eggs as well as grass-fed lamb, Hereford pigs and Akaushi beef.”

Why Pineapple Grove? “I wasn’t really thinking about the idea until I saw the building, but it was the perfect location for this concept. I didn’t know as much about the Grove then as I do now, but I was right: You can’t manufacture charm.”

What he’s most proud of: “Many of our servers have been with us since day one, and sustainability is almost like a religion for them. They’re incredibly knowledgeable about our ingredients and sources.”

Other restaurants he likes: “We’re lucky to have so many unique places in the Grove. I go to 3rd and 3rd, which is a great neighborhood hangout. I also like Brulé Bistro—whatever you’re craving, you can have it satisfied there.”

On the future of the trend: “I used to worry that the new generation coming up wouldn’t be as quality-conscious about food, but the opposite has happened. Young people are very concerned about the environment and good farming practices.”

Liquid Art: Swirl, Sniff and Sip

All photography by Jerry rabinowitz

Man does not live by painting and sculpture alone. If you’re a wine lover, you believe art is also expressed in liquid form—first by nature in the vineyard and later by humans during the winemaking process. Expand your knowledge of liquid art at the following Grove locations: N2: Located in the new Hyatt Place hotel, this wine bar uses Enomatic machines to preserve more than 100 selections and offer them in tastes of one, three and five ounces. 104 N.E. 2nd Ave. (561-278-6802, n2winebar.com) Joseph’s Wine Bar and Cafe: More than 2,000 bottles from the world’s major regions are paired with wine-friendly pizzas, salads, entrees and snacks. 200 N.E. 2nd Ave. (561-272-6100, josephswinebar.com) Olio: A list of 350 carefully chosen selections accompanies pastas, flatbreads and Mediterranean-inflected entrees. 42 S.E. 2nd Ave. (561-278-6633, oliobistro.com) Vino Van Gogh: Unleash your inner artist with a class here, where a teacher will guide you through the process of reproducing the night’s painting—inspired by a glass of wine, of course. 135 N.E. 4th Ave. (561-2725272, vinovangoghfl.com)

SofA: The Next Pineapple Grove?

Last summer, the Downtown Development Authority launched the creation of a new Delray district called SofA (“south of Atlantic”), stretching from Southeast First Avenue east to Southeast Fifth Avenue and from Southeast Second Avenue north to the Alleyway just south of Atlantic Avenue.

“SofA will explode five times faster than the Grove did,” says Kevin Rouse, who sat on the Grove’s board of directors from 2001 to 2007. “We wanted to start a whole new district, a community where people will move in, live and hang out.”

Rouse’s contribution is Kevro’s Art Bar at 166 S.E. 2nd Ave. “I’m trying to gather the creative class in one spot,” he says, combining live music with videography, film, painting, murals and, of course, cocktails and wine. He’s not alone: The area has more than 1 million square feet of new construction underway and has attracted the interest of arts heavyweights such as Jorge Perez, for whom the Perez Art Museum Miami is named.

“Pineapple Grove has done a great job for the arts,” Rouse says, “but SofA is the future.” « palmbeachillustrated.com | MARCH 2015

The name says it all: Cider (or “hard cider,” as it’s commonly known in the United States) is made of unfiltered apple juice fermented over a period of months or years. Like the nonalcoholic version, it’s crisp and sweet.

Perhaps the most popular type of Irish beer, dry stouts have a bitter, coffee-like flavor. But don’t let the creaminess fool you: They tend to be light and drinkable. While ordering a Guinness is practically a reflex, there are delicious stouts from other Irish breweries that deserve just as much attention.

IRISH DRY STOUT

IRISH RED ALE

PALE lAGER

Tea drinkers will appreciate this slightly sweet beer, which tends to have just enough flavor to enjoy without losing interest. The body is smooth, and sips are often dry at the end. The reddish hue comes from roasted barley used in the distillation process.

Smithwick’s Imported Premium Irish Ale, Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale, Caffrey’s Irish Ale

This golden brew is heavy on the hops and light in flavor. Bitterness varies by brand, but always expect a dry, malt taste—meaning you can pair a glass with just about any meal.

Harp Lager, Tom Crean’s Premium Irish Lager

Bonus brew: If you do find a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, consider splurging $43 on a 25.4-ounce bottle of Guinness The 1759. This limited-edition, small-batch amber ale is crafted from a 200-year-old recipe that uses whiskey malt for tones of caramel and butterscotch. (guinness.com)

The latest two concepts from edgy restaurateur Rodney Mayo tap into one of his strengths: nightlife. Only a few blocks East from West Palm Beach’s Respectable Street, which Mayo opened on Clematis Street in 1987, is Camelot, its preppy cousin. Named after the Kennedy family’s Palm Beach home, the nautical-themed club takes inspiration from JFK’s Honey Fitz lifestyle.

Kennedy family photos surround the teak-deck bar and the DJ booth, which resembles a boat, while servers in Sperry Top-Siders carry drinks and seafood orders from a small menu.

Guests can board this party yacht with a membership card, which can be requested at camelot yachtclub.com (561-318-7675).

In Delray Beach, Honey on Atlantic Avenue offers creative cocktails and small bites from Chef Nick Morfogen of 32 East next door. There’s no dance floor here, only plenty of space to mingle, including on the patio and in a lounge area sectioned by a honeycomb wall. Be sure to inspect the venue’s "serious" artwork: You’ll notice the addition of quirky elements. (561-2707187, honeydelray.com) —J.P.

Brush off those togas and get ready for the thirteenth annual Boca Bacchanal, the celebration of wine sponsored by the Boca Raton Historical Society and Museum. This year’s Friday evening Bacchanalia on March 27 will be a community celebration held at the Boca Raton Airport hangar.

Dishes from more than 30 local restaurants will be paired with wines crafted by vintners from around the world, plus chef demonstrations, live entertainment and a craft beer garden.

The Vintner Dinners the following evening combine winemakers from California’s leading estates (Silver Oak, Hall Wines, Sequoia Grove and Niner Wine Estates) with some of the country’s hottest culinary talent: Chefs Jeff Tunks and Chris Clime (PassionFish and DC Coast in Washington, D.C.), Erik Niel (Chattanooga’s Easy Bar and Bistro) and Brian and Shanna O’Hea (Academe in Kennebunk, Maine).

There’s a serious underpinning to all the revelry. Proceeds from the Bacchanalia help fund the society’s educational programs for Boca’s residents and visitors, which reached more than 75,000 children and adults last year—everything from school programs and special events to exhibits, lectures and archival research. Tickets for the Friday and Saturday events are $125 and $325, respectively, and may be purchased at bocabacchanal.com. (561-395-6766) —Mark Spivak

According to most experts, the bottled version of Pimm’s No. 1 only becomes a Pimm’s Cup when other ingredients are added—usually soda (ginger ale, club soda, Sprite or tonic) and fruit (usually slices of lemon, lime or orange).

Here’s a quick and easy version to charm guests at your next garden party. —M.S.

Pour Campari (left), an iconic potable, debuted in 1860. The New Orleans classic Sazerac gets its depth from Peychaud’s bitters (right).

Good, Bitter, Best A wealth of aromatic elixirs spices up the American cocktail scene

By Mark SPivak

Bitters are essential to drinks like the classic Manhattan (above). Fernet-Branca (right) is the best known brand of Fernet, increasingly popular worldwide.

Ask any 5-year-old: Bitter stuff doesn’t taste good. Despite that, many adults develop a taste for bitter substances, particularly beverages.

The passion for bitter flavors runs contrary to our physiology. Bitterness receptors on human tongues function as an early warning system to alert us that we might be about to consume something toxic or poisonous. Yet cultures in Europe, South America and, increasingly, the United States play host to a cult of bitter-libation sippers.

The universe of liquid bitters is divided into two categories: potable (liqueurs drinkable on their own) and non-potable (intensely flavored and meant as an additive). The most famous potable bitter is probably Campari, which is marketed as the sexiest beverage on Earth. Invented in 1860 by Gaspare Campari, the secret formula contains dozens of herbs, spices, barks and fruit peels. Nearly three mil-

lion cases are produced each year, and the concoction is typically mixed with soda or tonic or blended with gin and sweet vermouth to make the classic Negroni cocktail.

In recent years, Fernet has begun to displace Campari as the world’s most idolized potable bitter. Versions are made by Stock and Vittone 1842, but the best-known is Fernet-Branca. Jetblack in color and shockingly pungent, Fernet began as a medicinal home remedy and morphed into an international sensation. Between two million and three million cases are quaffed annually in Argentina alone, where it is usually mixed with Coca-Cola.

Non-potable bitters, usually known as cocktail bitters, are the bartender’s secret flavor weapon. If spirits and sugar are the yin of cocktails, bitters are definitely the yang. Prior to Prohibition, they were a standard ingredient in just about any drink served. The gold

Modern mixologists have myriad artisanal choices, such as Bittermens, for creating complex libations.

standard is Angostura, invented by a German doctor in Venezuela in 1824 to cure stomach upsets among army troops. Available in aromatic (regular) and orange varieties, Angostura can be recognized by its oversized label and can be spotted at bars around the world.

The other classic brand is Peychaud’s, which was developed by a New Orleans apothecary in the 1830s and is one of the essential ingredients in the Sazerac cocktail.

As the cocktail culture has exploded across America over the past decade, more artisan bitters have become commercially available.

Some noteworthy labels include: l Bittermens: Founded in San Francisco and now handmade from organic ingredients in New Orleans, the product line contains exotic flavors such as Xoclocatl Mole (spiced chocolate), Hopped Grapefruit and Hellfire Habanero Shrub. l The Bitter Truth: This German company, founded in 2006, makes a line of bitters including celery, Creole, peach and rose water, along with spirits and liqueurs.

l Regans’ Orange Bitters No. 6: Created by superstar mixologist Gary “Gaz” Regan, this cult item is generally not sold in stores but is available online. l Fee Brothers: A family-owned company dating to 1847, it has been producing bitters since the 1950s. Specialties include black walnut, cranberry, rhubarb and several varieties of barrel-aged bitters. l The Bitter End: Located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the company’s creations span the globe with Jamaican Jerk, Memphis Barbecue, Curry, Moroccan and Thai. l Scrappy’s Bitters: A pioneer in the category of artisan American bitters, Seattlebased Scrappy’s flavors include cardamom, lavender, coffee and lime.

Could DIY types make their own bitters?

Absolutely, but with this range of choices, why bother? If you want to do some serious research on the topic, though, obtain a copy of Bitters: A Spirited History of A Classic CureAll, written by Brad Thomas Parsons, which won a James Beard book award in 2012. «

The Theme: Anything sustainable, green, organic or natural will be very popular this year. Colors such as shades of green, sunset yellow and dove grey will be popular for events in 2015.

The Venue: Venues such as outdoor spaces that include elaborate tenting will be most popular.

Rob Thomson, North Palm Beach County’s #1 Agent with $136 MILLION in sales in 2014

As northern Palm Beach County’s top producer last year, Rob Thomson and his team had more than $136 million in closed and pending sales in 2014 alone. The group of six real estate professionals is dedicated to listing and helping buyers find dream homes in the luxury waterfront areas of Jupiter, including Admirals Cove, the Intracoastal and Loxahatchee River.

For team leader Thomson, who is also the company’s managing partner, it’s about giving his colleagues not only essential tools but also all the extras. Five years ago, while working at another real estate firm, Brewster Kump witnessed just that. He reached out to Thomson to help sell one of Kump’s listings on the Loxahatchee River that had been on the market for

an extended period of time. While sitting alongside Thomson in his Jupiter office, Kump saw firsthand the strength of Thomson and Waterfront Properties’ marketing.

“Rob just did a short email blast that talked about this property to a couple thousand potential buyers on his website looking for properties on the river,” Kump recalls. “As we’re sitting there, there were about 20 to 30 replies to that email. I was watching it all happen live and couldn’t believe the rapid interest that he was generating from one email.

“And then, within about two weeks, we had that property under contract. I couldn’t believe how quickly that transaction happened, and then I thought, ‘I’d rather be a part of it than competing with it,’ and that’s what prompted me to join Waterfront Properties.”

Kump came on to Thomson’s team soon after and saw that incident was not a fluke. Impressed with Waterfront Properties’ advanced lead system that matched the targeted interests of potential buyers with newly listed properties available even before they reached MLS, Kump became part of a team with cutting-edge tools to help both buyers and sellers.

Even more impressive to Kump is Thomson’s reach with other premier brokers. As part of the invitation-only Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate organization—a global collection of 130,000 luxury real estate professionals—Thomson and Waterfront Properties are connected to the finest brokers in the world who represent exclusive properties in more than 60 countries, collectively selling in excess of $128 billion of real estate annually.

“I know of no other broker who has anything even close to what Thomson has with his global reach,” Kump says. “This gives his clients an edge above everyone else in this market.”

Meghan Barry, president of Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate, says Thomson, as a member of the organization’s prestigious Board of Regents, attends the quarterly conferences that take place around the globe to connect with his fellow luxury brokers.

“Cultivating relationships has really become a part of Rob’s business model,” Barry says. “When you know brokers in global markets like Rob Thomson does, you have powerful knowledge that helps your clients. You are now a broker of the world, not just a local one.”

Thomson’s worldwide connections have resulted in him becoming a trusted ally to those colleagues in various points on the globe.

“Brokers know they can trust Rob with their clients,” Barry says.

“Everyone in Who’s Who knows if they have clients who are looking to buy or sell property in the Jupiter area, they can trust Rob to take care of them.”

But, as Barry notes, it’s not just Thomson’s high level of professionalism that make a difference. It’s also his willingness to help others.

“Rob’s constantly having other brokers from other areas come to his office to see how he and his team operate,” she says. “These Realtors, who are already some of the best in the business, come back with such a wealth of information that they are able to apply in their markets.”

The Waterfront team’s international reach does not just lie with Who’s Who. Waterfront created a partnership with London-based Mayfair International, which connects northern Palm Beach County sellers to buyers in Europe, Asia and Australia.

Beth Bourque, a member of Thomson’s team, says she now consistently works with both local and foreign buyers to find their homes. “With our northern county properties listed with Mayfair’s various websites, we’re able to reach buyers not just in Florida but also around the world,” she says.

But as connected as Thomson and his team are to the global market, it’s their ability to connect with buyers and sellers that have made them the area’s top producers.

“Rob wants us to create a lifetime relationship, not just a business transaction,” says Collette Henderson, another member of Thomson’s team. “What I’ve learned from him is that it’s not just about the deal, it’s about the experience. Everyone can go through the formality of getting a listing, but he goes beyond. It’s the little things. Once, when a seller was sick, I wanted to be sure to take care of her and get her medicine when she was unable to go to the pharmacy. We’ve created a relationship with this seller, so it was important to us to not just make sure her home was taken care of but that she was as well.”

And while many of Thomson’s traits have impressed Marcie Kipper since she joined his team 14 years ago, she admits the one that stands out is his strong negotiation skills. “So many times, it’s happened where you think a deal is going to break up, but then somehow Rob manages to put it all back together,” she says. “He does it with compassion and makes sure that both sides walk away as winners. There’s no one better in this business at negotiating than Rob.” Sheri Carter, who has known Thomson for more than 40 years and has been a part of the team for the last 15, is the first to point out Thomson is perhaps the hardest-working person she knows. He starts each day before 5 a.m. and is still sending emails well into the evening. “With communication being such an important part of the business, Rob and our team are all about responding to the brokers, sellers and buyers each day,” Carter says.

Pat & Stephanie Dacruz Anything Wet Pools & Spas

Q: What is your design inspiration?

A: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Inspiration comes from clients, their way of life and the home they live in.

The backyard should flow with the layout of the home and the consumer’s personality. Some consumers might want a tropical feel, where others want an art deco, modern feel. Consumers are limited only by their imagination.

Each consumer is different, and the end result should match his or her style, personality and taste.

Q: What are the latest trends in your industry?

A: The trends we see in building and remodeling involve creating an elaborate outdoor living area, with the focal point being the design of the pool, that captures the style and personality of the consumer. This can include water

architecture, color LED lighting, laminar-flow systems, fire elements, beach entries, sundecks, built-in pool wet bars with seating, vanishing edges, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, travertine decking, automation with a phone app and salt systems.

Q: What is your area of specialization?

A: We specialize in new custom and remodeling construction of pools, decks, outdoor kitchens and pergolas. We are fully licensed and insured and have more than 20 years of experience. We enjoy what we do, but what we love most is to see and hear from clients when the job has been completed. The most satisfying thing in the world is to have clients contact us again when they are ready to start a new project.

A: I am always inspired by the dreams of my clients.

Together, with the architecture of the project and the surrounding environment, I strive to create the ideal living space for them. Every client presents a unique and personal set of requirements, and with our collective vision we create the perfect dream for their lifestyle.

Q: What are the latest trends in your industry?

A: Metals of every type are very popular. Gold is coming back strong and often used in combination with other silver tones.

Mirrored surfaces are popular and used on most every type of furniture piece—even headboards. Dark wood tones are giving way to more medium brown tones. Blue of every hue is a favorite and mixes well with another popular color family of corals.

Q: What is your area of specialization?

A: My firm is best known for high-end residential design.

However, as a licensed interior designer, I have had the opportunity to also work on many commercial projects, including a football stadium, private yachts, restaurants and country clubs. I appreciate many styles and enjoy creating a variety of designs.

Q: What is your design inspiration?

A: The homeowner supplied inspiration for this particular kitchen: an eggplant-colored Le Creuset lid, which provided textural and thematic context, and an oversized kitchen table from Castle Drogo in England, measuring about 6 feet in diameter, that was carved from butternut with a maple plank top and has hand-forged stainlesssteel foot clasps.

Q: What is your area of specialization?

A: Custom kitchens that fit the homeowner’s dreams, both in function and style—exquisite designs with exceptional service.

Q: What are the latest trends in your industry?

A: A cleaner, bolder transitional style, yet with roots in Edwardian themes. Unusual veneers such as fumed larch are leading the way past walnuts. Metals in polished brass and nickel are coming on strong as cabinet door accents.

Happy Hour

help for migraines

Just how can you make a day at the spa even more intoxicating? Add beer! In recent years, beer spa therapies have popped up throughout Europe, and now the Maui Spa and Wellness Center in Boca Raton is offering beer facial scrubs, beer body wraps and beer baths. “The ingredients help nourish skin, hair, nails and there are studies that show it can help treat chronic arthritis, respiratory disease and even headaches,” spa owner Gayle Wentworth says in a statement. Wentworth sources the beer from the Big Bear Brewing Company in Coral Springs, and the treatments will not leave you smelling like beer nor give you a buzz—just a glow. (561395-7733, themauispa.com)

In the United States, 12 percent of the population, or 36 million Americans, suffer from migraine headaches, according to the American Migraine Foundation. Migraine headaches are associated with significant throbbing or pain and can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound. Traditionally, migraines are treated with abortive therapies, such as over-the-counter medicines that relieve migraines once they occur, or preventative therapies that attempt to stop the migraine before it happens. The Food and Drug Administration recently approved two noninvasive devices to treat migraines: the Cerena Transcranial Magnetic Stimulator and the Cefaly transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device. We spoke with Dr. Danita Jones from Cleveland Clinic Florida’s neurology department in Palm Beach Gardens about these new treatments, both of which can be obtained with a prescription, as well as the basics of migraines. (561-904-7200, clevelandclinic.org)

PBI: What are common food or drink triggers for migraines?

Can you describe the Cerena Transcranial Magnetic Stimulator and how it treats migraines?

What about the Cefaly transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device?

The more common food triggers are usually MSG, red wine, caffeine for some people, but everybody can have their own unique stimulants for a migraine, and some people don’t have any.

The stimulator is a TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) unit, and it’s used for abortive therapy. The thinking is that it will actually block the pain signals to the brain by sending these impulses, and the hope is it will stop the migraine from forming or abort it entirely. It’s a pretty small device, [no bigger than] a radio battery, and you can put it on the nerve that supplies sensation and pain to the head to block the messages. It’s used as needed for when people have migraines. … It’s used for maybe 10 to 15 minutes.

That one is specifically for migraine prevention. That is something that people would use every day, usually for about 20 minutes, to help prevent new migraines. … It goes over the forehead, and it works to supply an electrical current to the supraorbital nerves, which are the nerves right above the eyebrows.

What about environmental triggers?

Some people are very sensitive to changes in barometric pressure, which is difficult when you live in South Florida. A lot of patients will have worsening of their migraines during the summer months, when we have the big thunderstorms.

What tips would you give migraine sufferers?

I think it’s important for people to know that they don’t have to live with these headaches, that there are ways to get them better.

Scientific Breakthrough The Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter has once again made headlines by uncovering a major contributing factor to Huntington’s disease, a rare but progressive neurological condition that affects movement and cognitive activity. A team led by biologist Srinivasa Subramaniam (right) discovered signaling by a protein known as mTORC1 can prematurely trigger the disease and perpetuate its symptoms. These findings, featured in the journal Science Signaling, could lead to a better understanding of how to develop drugs for the disease. (561-228-2000, scripps.edu) 170 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Zen Tech

When it comes to incorporating technology into your yoga routine, there’s a mat for that. The SmartMat looks just like a traditional yoga mat, but it’s embedded with microsensors that track movement with the goal of improving position and balance to achieve the perfect pose. Users first input basic information like height, weight, gender and age and then undergo a calibration process that determines the ratio/length of arms versus legs. Then, the mat provides feedback on a variety of yoga poses, which can be viewed in real time on a smartphone or tablet. The mat is ideal for personal, at-home practice or in a studio setting; select a yoga class on the app and follow along with visual and audio adjustments throughout with the in-home mode—or use the in-class assist mode to view only the adjustments or the zen mode to review your practice later. The mat features a phone/tablet stand that will prop up your device for easy viewing, and it can be rolled up and withstand up to 110 degrees Fahrenheit—so it even works for hot yoga sessions. Following a successful crowd-funding endeavor, SmartMat is now available for preorder with a July delivery date. (smartmat.com)

Easy Raw

Protein Punch Every vegetarian has been begged the question: But where do you get your protein? For raw foodies, this question can be even more prevalent and, on the surface, more difficult to answer. The recommended daily protein intake is 46 grams for women and 56 grams for men. These numbers are completely feasible for raw devotees; the key is to add some sort of protein to each and every meal and snack. Below, find our top five picks for foods that pack a protein punch and also fit within a raw diet.

Nuts: No surprise here—nuts are a key source of protein in a vegan diet, and though they are high in fat, it’s all healthy fats. Grab a handful of almonds (6 grams of protein per ounce), cashews (5 grams per ounce) or walnuts (4 grams protein per ounce) for a quick protein boost.

Seeds: Seed varieties are popular salad additives and they can also imbue many different types of meals with a sizable amount of protein. Some popular seed varieties include chia (4 grams protein per ounce), sunflower (6 grams protein per ounce) and pumpkin (7 grams protein per ounce).

Leafy Green Vegetables: Though not as protein-packed as nuts and seeds, leafy green vegetables do include a significant amount of protein as well as vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Broccoli, spinach and kale are all between 30- and 45-percent protein.

Sprouts: One common source of vegetarian protein—legumes—cannot really be enjoyed on a raw diet, as they require cooking. This is where sprouts come in. Raw foodies can enjoy lentil sprouts (7 grams protein per cup) and pea sprouts (11 grams protein per cup), as well as a plethora of other legume and vegetable varieties, with abandon.

Hemp: Hemp seeds are 22-percent protein and contain all nine essential amino acids, and hemp protein—derived from the seed—is a mega protein provider. Navitas Naturals Hemp Powder has 15 grams of protein per serving, so add a few tablespoons to a smoothie and get moving.

Argan oil, one of Africa’s best-kept beauty secrets, is gaining prominence worldwide for its amazing beauty benefits.

The oil, derived from the fruit of the argan tree found in Morocco, is an ingredient in a number of products but also beneficial on its own and can be applied directly to skin, nails, cuticles, hair and scalp. Just look at its properties: Argan oil is abundant with antioxidants, including vitamins A and E, which can restore shine to hair and nourish skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties from its concentration of the omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid, making it ideal for topical treatment of scars, burns and other skin ailments like eczema and psoriasis. “Your life has not been lived until you’ve tried argan oil,” says Dawn Weiss, president of Dawn’s Argan Oil in Wellington. Dawn imports 100-percent organic argan oil directly from Morocco and sells 30 mL and 60 mL dropper vials. (561-907-7002, dawnsarganoil.com)

Agenda Life

in the

Everglades Composed of tropical wetlands, rivers of endless grass and an array of diverse— and occasionally dangerous—wildlife, the Everglades is one of Florida’s greatest treasures. This elusive ecosystem, which stretches from Orlando to the Florida Bay, is the inspiration behind the Norton Museum of Art’s newest exhibition, “Imaging Eden: Photographers Discover the Everglades.” On display beginning March 19, “Imaging Eden” includes commissioned works by contemporary artists, who were tasked with discovering their own interpretations of the Everglades through a camera lens.

What excites you the most about South Florida real estate in 2015?

What excites me the most is being a part of the Engel & Völkers brand and being able to offer my clients, new and old, the best service in the industry. Through Engel & Völkers, the exposure to the international clientele has brought a new market to South Florida, and it excites me to help them purchase second homes or investment properties here in the United States.

Why should clients looking to buy or sell real estate choose Engel and Völkers?

Engel & Völkers is an international luxury real estate company. With more than 500 offices worldwide, our global reach is unparalleled in the market. All Engel & Völkers shops work together within our organization, sharing clientele and listings. This creates a global network with extensive reach and allows us to give our clients the best service available to them.

Why Wellington and/or Palm Beach?

Wellington and Palm Beach both offer clients premier real estate opportunities in desirable South Florida locations. Palm Beach offers clients the sun and surf, with all the activities that go hand-in-hand with island living, whereas Wellington offers the sun but more equestrian-driven ways to fill the day. You would be surprised at the crossover we are experiencing with clients who either have property in Palm Beach and are looking for a Wellington getaway—similar to a “country home”—or a Wellington resident looking to escape to the gorgeous beachfront of Palm Beach island.

Tinsley Mortimer Tinsley Mortimer’s fabulous style propelled her from working for Vogue to being photographed in the magazine—and many others—as one of the most well-known socialites on the New York and Palm Beach circuit. The former publicist has stamped her name on several creative projects: She’s designed a line of handbags, lip gloss for Dior and her own clothing collection. She’s also acted, starred in her own reality TV show and written a novel.
