Thoughts on Individuality,
individuality
from Tom Casalini.
“Individuality is an experience. Both of us – subject and portraitist – are equal participants, with equal relevance.” “In almost 40 years, I have never duplicated a portrait experience.”
“I must first truly understand you. We must communicate. I listen, I watch. We begin to trust.” “It’s not unlike photojournalism of a person’s soul.”
“How do I reach you? Or do I simply create a safe place for you and wait?” “It’s the eyes. Almost always, it’s the eyes.”
“I won’t pose you. You’ll find your own way of standing, sitting, being.”
“Nothing is predetermined. I could never predetermine that moment in your life.”
One of the nation’s premier portrait photographers is in Zionsville, Indiana.

From the Editor-In-Chief
I never know what I’m going to hear when I check my voicemail. A recent case in point is Toni Bader. Let me tell you a little more about her. It all started when I came into the office on a Monday morning and, wouldn’t you know, the first call was from a woman who clearly let me know she had a gripe. “I want to register a complaint with the editor about an article in the May/June issue.” Now I’m very proud to be the editor of this magazine; it’s a post I cherish and a responsibility I take seriously. So when a reader, a subscriber, an advertiser – well, anyone – calls or writes, I, personally, get back to them right away. I called Mrs. Bader the same morning and not without some trepidation. “Let me have it,” I said after a few minutes of small talk. And boy, did she! Toni had read our story about Late Harvest Kitchen, and enjoyed it “immensely.” So she and her husband decided they’d go there for dinner. But, she was irritated that nowhere in the story was there an address, a web address – not even a phone number – for the restaurant. Indeed we’d spoiled what would have been a lovely evening out with Mr. Bader; and we should get right to fixing that problem. It was one of those V-8 moments. Why hadn’t I thought of that? I assured our loyal reader that henceforth there would be information about every restaurant we feature. You can check that out in this issue – and on our website: slmag.net. Toni, it turns out, is a font of such “gripes.” And I got a “twofer” during that first call. “I really like the author; I’d like to know more about him.” Another fist to the forehead moment. Te epicurious scribe whose words set your mouth to melting is Neil Charles, a passionate cook with a strong background in classic French cuisine, a Certified Sommelier, and quite simply the finest food writer I’ve met. So, thanks to Toni, in an upcoming issue, you’ll learn more about Neil, as well as meet his colleague Andrew Kung, who makes magic with his camera and this magazine a twisting kaleidoscope of colors. I loved Mrs. Bader’s feedback. All of us at Sophisticated Living think we’ve received a PhD in customer service and great ideas. I look forward to more of them. And to anyone who gets a call from Toni Bader registering a complaint, here’s my advice: listen and learn; your business will be much better for it. I pride myself on responding to every comment and especially every criticism. I truly believe that’s the only way we’ll get better – and I don’t want Sophisticated Living to be anything less than the best. See my phone and e-mail below. Got a gripe? Let me know. And, PS, we like kudos just as much as brickbats.

ANTIQUE SILVER
Written by Kirby Camm, Bittners
A labor intense antique As you can see from the illustration, bronzes, the generic name for any small statuary made of bronze, come in every shape, size and form imaginable. However, no one ever thinks about how these wonderful antiques were made and all the labor intensive work needed to make these fantastic small art sculptures. It is a lengthy and difficult process to make any artwork out of bronze. First, you have to mix molten copper with a small amount of molten tin to produce bronze. Tis involves very high temperatures, making it somewhat dangerous. Although there are exceptions, for the most part all bronze artworks are cast in sections, not whole, and later joined together. There are two main ways to cast bronze, lost wax and sand casting. Lost wax involves making a wax replica of what is to be made in bronze. Te wax replica is encased in a mold with a material that can withstand intense high temperatures. The wax is then melted out of the mold and hot molted bronze is poured into the void where the wax replica once was, producing an exact replica in bronze. Sand casting is similar but differs in that instead of wax, a wooden copy of what is to be cast in bronze is used for the model.
Two forms are filled with fine sand, and the wooden model is pressed into and sandwiched between the two sand-filled forms. The two forms are then carefully separated, the wooden copy removed, and the two sand molds are rejoined. Hot molten bronze is then poured into the sand mold to reproduce whatever was molded in the sand. After the molten bronze is cooled, be it lost wax or sand casting, the laborious process of finish work starts. Te parts of the bronze artwork are then refined and polished. These bronze parts are assembled by being riveted or soldered together, sometimes a combination of both processes, to make a completed bronze artwork. Tis finish work is crucial to the overall look of the piece. Te last process involved is putting on a patina. Tere are endless different patinas used to color bronze artworks, and, so I was told, the patinas were always a secret process that was not shared between makers. One only has to look at all the different coloration on the bronzes illustrated to add credence to this thought. No matter the shape, size, form or period, bronze artworks are true labors of love. sl

Aperitivo, Aperol Spritz Do you ever wonder what to have as a cocktail before dinner or what to have to drink while waiting for a table at your favorite restaurant? You will likely be having wine with dinner and you do not want a beer or a high alcohol cocktail like a martini or one of those crazy sweet en vogue cocktails – you are in a quandary. Or perhaps you need something to refresh your palate and prepare it for the great meal to come? Try an Italian Aperitivo, Aperol Spritz! I was introduced to one of my favorite aperitivos in Italy about four years ago. We had tasted through two dozen Brunello di Montalcinos in Montalcino and were taking a break for lunch. My palate was getting close to fatigued, and I needed something fresh and vibrant to restore it to enjoy a wonderful Tuscan lunch. I had been expectorating, so consuming a little wine with lunch and a drink before lunch would still allow me to enjoy the remainder of the day’s tastings and activities. Our host suggested a spritz, which is more commonly called an Aperol Spritz. Always one open to a suggestion, I said “yes.” I observed the bartender take a large wine glass, fill it with ice and drop a freshly cut blood orange in it. He poured the Venetian sparkling wine prosecco over the ice. So far this seemed pretty basic and maybe a tad boring. He then added the Italian spirit Aperol and topped it with a splash of sparkling mineral water. With my palate needing to be refreshed and my thirst building, I took a quick sip. Wow! The juxtaposition of the orange flavor and slightly bitter flavor along with the vivacious bubbles of the sparkling wine was surprising. I quickly dispatched another sip, and what seemed like layers of tired coatings of red wine were removed from my palate. Restoring and refreshing my palate completely by the end of the glass allowed me to better enjoy my lunch and the wines that were paired with it. I later investigated exactly what Aperol was. When I first saw it being poured, I equated it to one of my other favorite Italian aperitivos, Campari. It has the same bright orange color, but despite that it looks like Campari, Aperol has an alcohol content of 11 percent, which is less than half of Campari. It is also intentionally less bitter. Aperol is essentially a secret recipe, but they do tell us it is an infusion of orange, hints of mandarin, and a collection of herbs, roots and spices including rhubarb. Te two Barbieri

Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier
brothers in Padua, Italy, originally made it in 1919, and Aperol remains unchanged despite now being owned by Campari. It is the number one selling spirit in Italy, and it is reported that in Veneto, there are 300,000 Aperol Spritzes consumed every day. I enjoy an Aperol Spritz before dinner, especially in the summer. It is the perfect beverage while grilling on a hot day. Te first wine of the evening seems to flow a little bit smother after an Aperol Spritz. I have had variations of the Aperol Spritz, one of which included using French champagne instead of the Italian prosecco, but I prefer the prosecco. Prosecco is a very good quality light, dry Italian sparkling wine that lends itself better to the cocktail then the richer, fuller French champagne. Try this recipe to make the traditional Aperol Spritz. sl APEROL SPRITZ Fill your favorite 12-ounce glass with ice Add a slice of orange or blood orange Add three parts of prosecco Two parts of Aperol Te splash of soda avoids the Aperol settling at the bottom.

IMPERIAL ADVENTURE Written by Bridget Williams
Les Cigognes
DISCOVERING THE MAGIC OF MOROCCO Tough I will never forget the aromas, when queried, I struggle to ďŹ nd words descriptive enough to encapsulate them. How does one communicate the simultaneous experience of perfume and pungent, an affront to the senses that has yet to be rivaled by any other place Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve visited in the world? Such is the dilemma when describing my whirlwind tour of the imperial cities of Morocco: Fes, Marrakech, Meknes and Rabat, as well as brief stops in Casablanca, Chefchaouen and Volubilis. With legacies as distinct as the dynasties they represented over the millennia, each imperial city offered an expected glimpse of ancient traditions, but more surprising was the cohabitation of cosmopolitan ideals.

Lobby of the Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses
After a six-hour flight from JFK, we touched down at 5:30 a.m. in Casablanca, where after collecting our bags, we were greeted by our guide for the week - Saida Ezzahoui - a petite woman possessing immense charisma and seemingly indiminishable energy for such an early hour. We settled into our comfortable shuttle bus, and as the silhouette of palm trees became illuminated by the sunrise, Saida launched into a fascinating overview of Morocco’s history, religion, language, topography and customs. With five million inhabitants, Casablanca is Morocco’s biggest and most modern city. Named by the Portuguese after an impressive white house of a 10th-century chief, Casablanca was included in the portion of the country between Fez and Rabat that was a French protectorate from 1912 to 1956, resulting in a legacy of French influence in the school system and government. Te city’s importance as a hub of business was evident by Palm Beach-like enclaves of grand ocean view homes hidden behind manicured hedges. A light breakfast of pastries and mint tea at a café on the Atlantic was followed by a visit to the impressive Hassan II Mosque, the largest in the country and the seventh largest in the world, capable of holding 105,000 worshippers. One of only two 38 slmag.net
mosques in the country open to non-Muslim visitors, Saida, a Suni Muslim, provided us with an easy-to-understand overview of her faith, highlighting its ease of practice and more tolerant nature (poignantly underscored by her conservative Western dress sans hijab). Meknes, originally settled by Berbers in the ninth century, was our next stop. Bab Mansour is the most notable among the city’s 27 gates. Within the medina’s main square there were carts laden with sheep carcasses, and Saida explained that Muslims were celebrating Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, with each family slaughtering a sheep to mark the occasion. After telling us about the sheep her family kept in their garage to mark the holiday, she likened it to the American tradition of turkey on Tanksgiving, and we laughed at the thought of a DIY turkey day. Under the rule of Moulay Ismaïl, known for his abject cruelty, his capital city of Meknes became noteworthy for its extravagance, with some 25,000 slaves used during the construction of the imperial palace and monuments, some of which included stoned pilfered from the nearby Roman ruins at Volubilis. Te remains of the palace, including stables capable of accommodating 12,000 horses, provide a fascinating glimpse of life in medieval Morocco.
Pastries in the medina at Marrakesh.
Sofitel Fès Palais Jamaï
Our first traditional Moroccan meal was had at lunch in the stunning courtyard of Riad Didi Meknes, owned by direct descendants of sultan Moulay Sulaiman. Te confines were such a visual treat, resplendent with polished tiles on the floor and mosaic walls in rainbow hues, painted woodwork and intimate rooms that invited exploration, that I quickly forgot my hunger, until our first course, little plates of “cooked salad,” was presented. A veritable feast of beets, carrots, potatoes, olives, eggplant and white beans, all scented with aromatic spices that lent unique flavor profiles, was enough to draw me back to the table. En route to Fez we made a late afternoon stop at Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Once an important Roman town on the westernmost border of Roman conquests, the ruins, heavily damaged by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, hint at the sophisticated city that once flourished there. Among the highlights are 30 high quality mosaics that remain in their original location, oil presses, an aqueduct, a judiciary basilica and a triumphal arch. Located within the walls of the medina in Fes and boasting both Moorish and Arabic architecture, the Sofitel Fès Palais Jamaï provided a welcome respite after a long day of travel and exploration. While certainly luxurious, the
property still retains ample authenticity to underscore its exotic locale. Still satiated from our feast at lunch, we opted for light bites and Moroccan wine in the hotel’s Al Mandar bar. While most observant Muslims avoid alcohol, our group never had a problem finding a good glass of Moroccan wine (a good dry martini was a little harder to come by). Awakened at sunrise by the Islamic call to prayer, I stepped onto my balcony to watch as the medina slowly came to life. After an American-style buffet breakfast by the outdoor pool, Saida met us sporting a traditional and colorful djellaba, a loose-fitting robe worn by both men and women. A narrow alleyway just steps away from the hotel’s front entrance leads to a labyrinth that links the 187 neighborhoods inside the medina. Within just a few steps, sensory overload commences and intensifies with every turn. Tis is where the services of a guide are imperative, first of all to keep one from becoming hopelessly lost and second for help in finding the best artisans for leather goods, rugs, silver, copper and brass pieces, spices and the like. Saida was an invaluable advocate, ensuring shopkeepers gave us their finest grade of saffron, providing bargaining tips, and knowing when to step in and when to let us try our hand at haggling. slmag.net

Fes Artisan
Te leather souq in Fes.
Te leather souq is home to the oldest leather tannery in the world, dating back at least nine centuries. Tose who can stomach the stench can watch from a balcony as men standing knee-deep in a honeycomb arrangement of stone “bowls” containing various colored vegetable dyes do the manual, backbreaking work of processing the sheep and goat skins. After dying, the hides are laid on the surrounding rooftops to dry. Te resulting high quality leather handiwork is plentiful and varied, and the shopkeepers are persistent in their sales tactics, but there are certainly bargains to be had as one particularly adept and stalwart negotiator in our group found out. As a rule, Saida pointed out that most Moroccans prefer to eat and entertain at home, and as such, the diversity of dining options and menu choices is somewhat limited. For a true taste of Moroccan cuisine, it is advisable, as we did, to have your guide arrange a meal in a private riad, which is a traditional Moroccan multi-story house where rooms open to an interior garden courtyard with a water feature or fountain. Te experience of leaving the mayhem of the medina, stepping through a nondescript doorway in a sea of similarly sandcolored facades and into an explosion of opulent color and
Chefchaouen
Cooked salad course at Riad Didi Meknes
texture is an almost indescribable experience and was by far the best meal of the entire trip. Te multi-course feast our hostess prepared out of her tiny, and by American standards, primitive kitchen was almost unfathomable to me. Following an afternoon of shopping and exploring, we set out for Chefchaouen, positioned against the Rif Mountains in the northwest part of the country. En route, following a discussion of the region’s olive oils, Saida made an impromptu stop at an olive oil press that uses a hybrid of centuries-old and modern techniques. As soon as we exited the van we could smell the intoxicating aroma wafting from huge piles of picholine and Spanish olives. After observing the production process, we were invited to dip chucks of crusty bread into plates of the freshly pressed oil – what an intense palate pleaser! Chefchaouen is most noted for its whitewashed homes with powder-blue accents and alleyways. Saida explained the blue hue was a superstitious hedge against evil eye. A popular tourist destination due to its proximity to Tangier, I found the city to be among the friendliest and one I’d be comfortable exploring without the assistance of a guide. As we traversed up and down the hilly, narrow alleyways, moving aside to let “kamikaze slmag.net

donkeys” laden with cans full of gasoline pass by, the beauty of the city revealed itself. At the source of a fresh mountain spring that cascades down the mountain, children played and women tended to their daily laundry. Hiking up into the hills, we observed women baking bread in a communal oven and a pick-up soccer match taking place on the outskirts of an ancient cemetery. Casa Hassan, a charming guesthouse decorated with unique art and craftwork characteristic of the region, is an ideal spot for exploring the city’s many treasures. On the mountainous, windy road leading to Rabat, the country’s capital and its third largest city, scrubland gave way to coniferous forest and meandering streams. Travel by road can be arduous, particularly when stuck behind a slowmoving truck on narrow two-lane roads. Located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg, Rabat is primarily an administrative city. Close to the Royal Palace and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the five-star Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses hotel combines contemporary luxury with classic Moroccan architecture motifs. Housed within a 1960s-era tower, the nondescript exterior gives no hint of the interior’s chic confines. Te gleaming marble-floored lobby includes a handful of highend boutiques that cater to its well-heeled clientele. At the 42 slmag.net
far end of the space, near the entrance to 17-acres of gardens dotted with some 3,000 roses, a chandelier of Murano “bubbles” is suspended over a tranquil water feature. One of the more memorable experiences during our time in Rabat, which included visits to the Hassan Tower Mausoleum and Chellah Necropolis, was dinner at Restaurant Le Ziryab. Located in Rue des Consuls in the heart of the medina, we were met at our car by a man in traditional attire carrying a lantern, who led us through a maze of ancient alleyways to the restaurant. Te deft hands of a lone musician playing a lotar, a Moroccan guitar, provided the soundtrack for the evening as we dined on an abundant, multi-course meal of traditional fare, including cooked salads, lamb and chicken tangine, couscous and pastila. The remainder of our trip were spent in the bustling city of Marrakech, the most important former imperial city, and home to both the largest Berber souk in Morocco and Djemaa el Fna, one of the busiest open-air squares and market places in the world. Reflecting the dichotomy of old and new, our home base for two nights was the Four Seasons Hotel Marrakech, a calming, contemporary compound spread over 40-acres of Moorish gardens a short walk from the ancient ramparts of the medina.

Four Seasons Hotel Marrakech
Built to resemble a modern-day medina, the rosehued walled sanctuary features alluring arcades, fountain courtyards, Moorish gardens and 141 guest rooms in lowrise accommodations with views of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and Menara Gardens. Te family friendly property includes a comprehensive children’s program in a dedicated facility as well as two pools – one for families and another for adults only. After a day in the bustling souks, returning to the calming confines of the resort was a welcome respite. Even more indulgent is an afternoon spent within the confines of their lavish 32,000-square-foot spa and fitness center. Te pure argan oil I picked up in the spa boutique has been nothing short of a magic elixir for both dry skin and hair. Discerning travelers wishing to “go native” and stay within the medina would be well served by a trio of riads – Dar Les Cigognes, Riad Kaiss and Le Nid des Cigognes - that comprise The Sanssouci Collection. The collection is owned by expatriates Eben Lenderking and Tanja Tibaldi, who fell in love with the city during a 15-day vacation, during which they worked up a business plan on a napkin during New Year’s Eve 44 slmag.net
and implemented it the next day by purchasing their first riad. Each unique property has been carefully renovated (taking as long as four years in some cases) to adhere to traditional architectural styles and materials while sparing no guest amenity. Each property offers an on-site concierge, a restaurant serving traditional Moroccan cuisine and a full bar, daily bespoke cooking classes from one-hour to full-day, a traditional hammam, and spa services using their proprietary product line. At Dar Les Cigognes, a rooftop terrace with 1,500 potted trees puts you eye level with the storks that nest atop the palace ramparts. Lenderking, who remarked that he feels safer in Marrakech than in London or New York City, particularly enjoys the city’s “fascinating remnants of Jewish culture,” and the “amazing artisan traditions that are a part of daily life.” When it comes to finding the best street food, he recommended following the locals and looking outside the square to the working class restaurants where the cuisine is most authentic. Bianca Jagger, Cecil Beaton and Yves Saint Laurent are some of the well-known revelers who lived the bon vivant lifestyle of expats in Marrakech in the latter half of the 20th

century. Te 12-acre Majorelle Gardens, designed by French painter Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and 30s and purchased in 1980 by Laurent and Pierre Bergé, are a popular tourist destination (plan to visit early or late in the day for the smallest crowds). Laurent’s ashes were scattered there following his death in 2008. Te painter’s studio is now a museum displaying the personal collections of Laurent and Bergé. Also worth a visit are the lavishly decorated Saadian Tombs and the Ben Youssef Medersa, an Islamic school attached to the Ben Youssef Mosque that was founded in the 14th century and completely rebuilt in the 1560s. It is home to some of the most beautiful art and architecture in Marrakesh. Even in a state of partial ruin, it is not too much a stretch of the imagination to envision the former grandeur of the 360-room El Badi Palace, built by Ahmed Al Mansour between 1578 and 1602. Like the finale in a fireworks show, a day at Djemaa el Fna was our final adventure. After shopping in the souks, where I picked up some gorgeous high-quality caftans from Bouriad Karim, and my travelmates drove a hard bargain to acquire several fine carpets, we arrived at the square by early afternoon.
At that time of day, the scene was sedate enough, with a handful of snake charmers, henna artists and various peddlers milling about the square, but as day turned to dusk, scores of food vendors wheeled in carts offering all manner of epicurean delights, turning the square into a carnival-like scene. Again, our guide was invaluable in offering tips for handling the pushy street performers as well as advising which food carts to savor and, more important, to steer clear of. Returning to the serene confines of the Four Seasons, I slipped into the heated pool to unwind before heading to the spa to experience a traditional hammam bath and facial with oils of rose, jasmine and orange flower. Te indulgent escape provided an ideal opportunity to reflect on my extraordinary Moroccan adventure. sl SOURCES Moroccan National Tourist Office - sanssoucicollection.com Guide services: Saida Ezzahoui – saidam@hotmail.com.

Rolls-Royce raises the bar for bespoke automobiles
RIDER Written by Bridget Williams
While the world of luxury presents many objects of desire that captivate one or more senses, with the hand-built Ghost Six Senses concept, the artisans and engineers of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars aim to awaken all five. Te move to an even higher level of personalization was prompted in part by an uptick in demand: More than half of clients who specified a Rolls-Royce Ghost in 2011 turned to bespoke personalization. Formally launched in September 2009, the lines of the Rolls-Royce Ghost incorporate classic Rolls-Royce design cues – the elevated prow, long bonnet, short front overhang, sharply raked A-pillar and elegant tail – but are distinguished from its peers by its majestic “Yacht Line” styling. Tis is a world where welds are an art form and craftsmanship exists at a nano-level. The antithesis of a production automobile, first unveiled for ogling during the 2012 Beijing Auto Show, the Ghost Six Senses concept is described by Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Rolls-Royce CEO, as “a luxurious environment designed for the most discerning of individuals. It delights the senses and draws you into somewhere that transcends the interior of a car. Relax for a few moments and you will experience something that is hard to define, but which our customers understand so well. It can be likened to an aura, a sense that the stunning hand-made interior embodies something of the heart and soul of each proud craftsperson involved in its creation. Tat’s a uniquely Rolls-Royce sixth sense that this car presents so elegantly.”

SIGHT Ghost Six Senses’ pearlescent Carrara White finish complements new forged alloy wheels, while eyes are immediately drawn to rich interior detailing upon entry through its coach doors. Te deep luster of the Walnut Burr veneer, complete with diagonally-oriented, brown oak cross-banding, is designed to hint at the extraordinary power at the driver’s disposal. SOUND For more than 100 years the sound of silence has driven the Rolls-Royce brand. But 21st century Ghost and Phantom models also present an auditorium in which the most advanced systems can deliver music in the most impressive fashion. Te concept audio system in Ghost Six Senses richly fills the spacious rear cabin thanks to its upgraded amplifier and the inclusion of “exciter” speakers housed in the leather headlining that help raise the centre of sound closer to a passenger’s ear. SMELL Te rich aroma greeting Ghost Six Senses’ occupants comes from the most supple natural soft grain leather in enveloping hand-crafted seats, as well as in the car’s leather headlining, with added hints of the woody spice in the walnut veneer. TASTE Bathed in light from a panoramic sunroof, the rear cabin urges occupants to relax in style. For the ultimate taste experience, the most refreshing chilled drinks or vintage champagne can be served from Ghost Six Senses’ coolbox, using custom flutes featuring a delightful sound-wave etching. TOUCH From cool chrome and sumptuous leather to the finest veneers, the Ghost Six Senses takes this concept further with the inclusion of natural grain leather for the first time. Deep pile lambs wool rugs encourage 52 slmag.net
occupants to submerge feet, while opening the boot effortlessly with remote opener reveals further lambs wool lining to cosset luxury bespoke luggage. Performance features ensure that the driving experience mirrors the bespoke accoutrements. Double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension work with an intelligent, four-cornered, air-suspension system and electronic variable damping to deliver the refinement that has been associated with Rolls-Royce for more than 100 years. With a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 engine, Ghost is the most powerful car that Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has ever produced. Featuring direct injection, it produces 563bhp – enough to propel Ghost from zero to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds and on to an electronically governed top speed of 155 mph. With 780 Nm of torque available at just 1,500 rpm, delivery of power is immediate and extremely smooth. Power is transmitted through an eightspeed, shift-by-wire, automatic ZF gearbox. The control centre display is concealed behind a veneered panel until its services are called upon. All features such as satellite navigation, telephone, communication and entertainment functions are displayed here and managed via a central rotary controller, flanked by quick-access buttons on the front center console. Passing through 60 pairs of hands, the production process involves more than 2,000 individual operations and takes at least 20 days to complete. “Ghost Six Senses redefines a simple truth,” added Müller-Ötvös. “A RollsRoyce is always so much more than the sum of its beautiful parts.” sl

Faces of Surfing
The surfing industr y is notably colorful. Art and design have been an integral part of the surfing culture, influencing everything from the styles of surfing films, board and clothing design, and the personalities’ interests in the industry. Although art, music and film have been a major part of surfing, the fine art world is now being introduced to the surfing community through its own language of painting. Letty Nowak (lettynowak.com), an expert in the surfing industry but also a master painter, is merging her knowledge and passions in her newest body of work called “Faces of Surfing,” a series of 100 large scale oil paintings portraying a spectrum of notable individuals in the surfing community including athletes, professionals, brand leaders, characters and philanthropists. Nowak recalls “watching surfing movies over cereal in the mornings before school.” She was raised in South Haven, Michigan, with a father who was not only a sign painter and screen printer but also owned several of the first surf shops in the area and was a great surf enthusiast. Following in her father’s footsteps, Nowak lives between La Jolla, where she surfs and has a painting studio, and Key West where she has ownership of several surf shops herself. Nowak’s father was not only a great inspiration for her but was also a mentor; she
56 slmag.net
remembers experimenting with color, line and composition with her father. It was during her college career at Michigan State University that Nowak developed her true passion for painting. As a project at the university, she was assigned to pick a subject matter to work with for her final semester. She chose portraiture and her stylemark was born. Noted by her distinct, colorful and largescale painting, she states, "I see my portraits as abstract pieces of blocks of color that come together to create the recognizable image of a face. I work to make each piece more about the actual painting through my marks and color even more than the subject I am portraying. Tis is an intriguing challenge to me – especially when painting recognizable people." Her first 25 of the series were shown at Hurley’s Town Hall in Costa Mesa, California, in October of 2011. Her most recent exhibition this past March was at Te La Jolla Art Association Gallery. Nowak has exhibited in New York City, Montauk, Key West, Laguna Beach and La Jolla. Through the planned worldwide traveling exhibition of this series, Nowak hopes that the intention of this body of work is fulfilled by introducing the fine art world to the surfing industry. Letty Nowak is certainly sitting on top of the world waiting to catch the next wave. sl

Holiday at Home An exquisite guest cottage brings a touch of the Hamptons to Williams Creek Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung

Te pineapple was a symbol of wealth and sophistication in eighteenth century England
Stepping into this extraordinary cottage-style guest house in Indianapolis’ exclusive Williams Creek district, you might be forgiven for imagining you had just wandered into a seaside retreat in the Hamptons or Cape Cod at the start of a weekend of swimming, tennis and seaside revelry. Unostentatious, yet generously proportioned, this purpose-built slice of New England has been designed with entertaining in mind. Although physically connected to the family’s principal residence, the assigned functions of these two unique buildings don’t necessarily intersect. Designer Julie Boutilier loves surprises, and she assures me on our hourlong tour that she is going to save the best surprise for last. Initially that seems like a tall order, because here there’s a surprise around every corner: some clever, some witty, all enthralling. In an era when so many self-styled “great” houses are merely big, and impress only with their square footage and daunting room count, the Cottage impresses with a myriad of nuances and airy, classical proportions. It also puts to rest the old adage “they don’t build them like that anymore.” Boutilier and architect Bill Sickmeyer have proven that yes, unequivocally, they do.

Guests can enjoy outdoor cooking year-round in the all-season kitchen
Leaving the main residence (a story in itself for another time) and stepping through the automatic, self-locking doorways, the first thing you notice is the floor. Seemingly fashioned from broad, lightly-stained wooden planks, it turns out that the material is in fact wood-grained Italian tile. Well-suited to heavy traffic and the rigors of entertaining, it appears practically indestructible. Passing by the changing rooms which serve the pool area, you arrive at a stately indoor-outdoor seating and dining area complete with professional barbecue grill and range hood. With Indiana’s brooding climate, this is probably more indoor than outdoor, but in good weather, two large sets of French doors open onto the patio. Here, (another surprise) the Cape-Cod-style cedar shingles are fashioned from concrete, obviating the need for constant maintenance while retaining the elegance of old-school design. Te pool, of the infinite variety, comes equipped with industrial-grade water slide and overlooks a gas-fired crystal fire pit. Tere’s a decidedly Tuscan feel to the surrounding low stone walls and irregular flagstones, setting the tone for the rambling semi-formal gardens beyond. Back inside, the main room is dominated by an extraordinary gambrel ceiling, unusual because it makes a ninety degree turn, creating an L-shaped 76 slmag.net
Te Heat-N-Glo fireplace provides a focal point for the principal living area
space. At one end of the L, an elongated Heat-N-Glo fireplace is illuminated within by L.E.D.s, while the fireplace surround is fashioned from thousands of individual one-inch recycled glass tiles finished with an iridescent coating. Tese took a month to locate: their acquisition epitomizes the incredible attention to detail which has gone into every aspect of this building. Above the mantle, discreetly out of view, hides a flat screen TV, which lowers into place when needed. A projector is housed in what can only be described as a lighthouse-like structure, cunningly evocative of the life aquatic. Beneath the apex of the L, a well-stocked bar area, with maple cabinetry, takes care of liquid needs, while an open galley-style kitchen, with six-burner Wolf stove and a vast honed marble countertop takes care of the solids. A highly detailed yet durable honeycomb backsplash completes the work surface, while the oversized Kraus sink and the goose-neck Grohe faucet transform the chore of clean-up into a pleasure. Should large numbers require feeding, there is also a catering kitchen, beautifully detailed with three-quarter inch granite countertops and beaded inset cabinetry; “downstairs” at Downton Abbey would surely have been overjoyed to use such a facility.

Te subterranean gymnasium features a full-size basketball court complete with Indiana Pacers, Indiana University and Butler University motifs.
Glass features heavily throughout: in the main “white” bathroom, the countertop is made from a new material produced from recycled glass, while the cabinets are faced with mirrors to maximize the light in this already dazzling space. In another bathroom, a shimmering mosaic of recycled glass tiles decks the walls, while the front of the vanity (from Golden Apple Fine Furniture and Accessories, Boutilier’s own brand) whimsically changes color electronically when one enters and exits the room. A mirror in a third bathroom is framed with fragments from an antique mirror, creating the impression of burnished bronze, a theme elaborated upon by the rich hue of the glazed nickel twisted knot motif handles. We pass through guest bedrooms, entertainment areas and gaze upon intricate tile work and impeccable fixtures. Tere’s so much more to see, but the tour is drawing to a close. True to her promise, Julie has saved the biggest and best surprise for last. Descending a stairwell past a long, oddly opaque window by Indiana artist Greg Tompson, we pass into what at first glance seems to be a memorabilia room of sorts. Trough a door, and we’re suddenly looking down onto a full-sized basketball court, complete with twenty-seven foot acoustic ceiling, and commercial warehouse lighting. It’s impressive enough until you realize that the windows high up in the ceiling are in fact at ground level and that the whole thing is subterranean. It’s only then that you begin to wonder where all the soil went. sl slmag.net

Not Your Grandfather’s Pie
Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung
From the moment the first Stateside pizzeria opened its doors in New York in 1903, America’s love affair with this iconic dish has never wavered. Over the intervening century, the humble pizza has found its way into every corner of the gastronomic road map, from the street vendor’s hearty slice to the designer creations of Wolfgang Puck, by way of deep dish, thin crust, stuffed crust and flatbread. Today’s pizza is more likely to be eaten at home than on the street corner or in a restaurant, such is our love of home-delivery; but love it we do, regardless of where we eat it.

Were he alive today, Chef Raffaele Esposito might well not recognize much of what these days passes for pizza. For it was in 1889 that Esposito, in honor of Margherita, the Queen Consort of Italy, created a unique pie using ingredients representing the three colors of the Italian flag: tomatoes for red, cheese for white and basil for green. It was, incidentally, also the first time that cheese had been used on pizza. Tus was born one of the world’s most instantly recognizable dishes, the Margherita, a creation whose influence has spread far and wide over the decades. While the great American pizza has been steadily evolving into a platform for all things edible (buffalo chicken, anyone?), back in Naples, a rearguard action by concerned restaurateurs has ensured that the original now has some sort of legal and cultural recognition. Te True Neapolitan Pizza Association only recognizes two incarnations: the Margherita and the Marinara, and has codified not only the oven type, temperature and type of tomatoes, but even the direction in which sauce is to be applied. And just in case that wasn’t enough regulation, true Neapolitan Pizza, now officially recognized by the EU, may only be rolled out with the fingers.

As our passion for food has grown more sophisticated (some might say obsessive), so has our interest in farmstead producers, organic products and authentic preparations. In a move which might have been deemed bold bordering on the foolhardy a decade ago, a handful of intrepid Indianapolis restaurateurs have recently, and independently of each other, taken it upon themselves to expend considerable effort and resources to bring us traditional and authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. And so it was in 2010 that Martha Hoover, founder and owner of immensely popular Café Patachou and Petit Chou, hung the shingle outside her latest venture, Napolese, the first such restaurant in Indianapolis, and one which occupies a unique and lofty niche in the city’s already crowded pizza scene. Since she opened the original Patachou in 1989, Hoover has been a driving force in the city’s independent restaurant scene, and one of the first to recognize the quality of Indiana’s homestead agriculture. Initially sourcing ingredients from as far away as France and California, her cafés have steadily been able to use more Indiana-raised produce and meats as the quality of local products has improved. It’s a testament to how far the culinary scene has evolved that Napolese is able to list no fewer than a dozen local growers and producers on its menu. Tere are of course exceptions: if you want to make authentic Neapolitan pizza, you really have to use Italian “00” grano tenero flour and DO San Marzano Tomatoes from Mt. Vesuvius, or it’s just not right. Ten there’s the matter of the oven. Weighing in at close to two tons, the American-made, gas-assisted Wood Stone behemoth burns at a steady 800 degrees, allowing the ingredients to cook to perfection in just a couple of minutes. It’s this kind of heat which, when combined with the stretchy, tender dough and the modestly-proportioned toppings, produces the finest pizzas. Tis isn’t your grandfather’s pie, however. Tis is food originally intended to be folded and eaten on the go and with the hands, but being a supremely versatile medium, it also lends itself well to the environs of an upscale eatery.

In the expert hands of Chef Tyler Herald, who spent time studying with Neapolitan chefs, the results are masterful: the base tender and slightly spotted, the edges puffed and golden, the cheese melted in a gooey pool. Once you’ve tasted one of Herald’s creations, whether it’s the Hamaker’s Corner or a buildit-yourself “freestyle” selection, you’ll be hard-pressed to go back to Domino’s. Sit at the bar with a glass of something refreshing, and watch as your pizza is assembled, then flash cooked in front of you. Te oven, it should be said, is not just for cooking, it’s also a conversation piece. If peace and quiet is your thing, take a seat in the coolly-appointed wine bar next door, where the entire menu is available in a slightly more subdued environment. Although the pizza is the main attraction, Napolese offers a handful of delicious sandwiches, using mostly locally-sourced ingredients, as well as cured meats from Te Smoking Goose, and, for the adventurous connoisseurs of nose-to-tail dining, roasted marrow bones. Wine lovers will enjoy the short but carefully-selected list of boutique Italian reds and whites, including some excellent offerings from Tuscany and Piedmont. For lovers of all things sweet, there’s a constantly changing selection of vibrant, creamy Italian-style gelato to choose from. We strongly recommend the pistachio. sl Napolese Pizzeria and Wine Bar is located at 114 East 49th Street. For more information, visit napolesepizzeria.com or call 317.925.0765.
