Innholdsfortegnelse for November 2020 i Nashville Lifestyles Magazine

What an odd year. As we enter this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to reflect and give thanks. I realize this year our celebrations may feel and look a little different, but I think it is still very important to highlight gratitude. Personally, I want to thank you. Thank you for reading. Thank you for subscribing or buying our magazine on the newsstands. Even though this has been a taxing time, it’s never felt more important to be connected to our community. While we can’t be physically together, it is important that we continue to tell the stories of this great city. The year 2020 has been the toughest I have ever known. I remember the panic I felt when I heard the tornado touched down…

For professional cook and food stylist Amanda Frederickson, the year 2020 will ever be memorable: and not for what happened in the pandemic, but what happened despite it. In April, she debuted her first solo cookbook, Simple Beautiful Food, followed by the August opening of her first restaurant, Radish Kitchen. Both received rave reviews. Radish Kitchen is tucked in West Nashville’s new office-retail-dining complex Sylvan Supply. The fast-casual concept mirrors her cookbook and exemplifies her approach to cooking. Food should be fresh, healthful, and uncomplicated, appealing to the eye and delicious to the palate. To that end, Frederickson has designed eight “Signatures” in globe-trekking flavor profiles, which can be prepared as salad, grain bowl, pita wrap. Each, too, is clearly designated with dietary concerns: vegetarian, dairy-free, contains nuts. Also, any…

Internationally renowned chef Tony Mantuano and his wife, wine and hospitality expert Cathy Mantuano, have elevated the experience of Italian cuisine in America. It’s an achievement rooted at Chicago’s Michelin-starred restaurant Spiaggia, and now realized at Yolan in Nashville. After 35 years of helming Spiaggia to great acclaim, the couple left to live in Italy, and consider their next steps. Enter Joel Pizzuti. He presented them an enticement to return to the States: a rare opportunity to create a fine Italian restaurant inside The Joseph, a luxury hotel he was building in Nashville. The hotelier’s vision meshed beautifully with theirs, prompting the Mantuanos to move to Music City to undertake this ambitious project. While the couple oversees all three dining concepts inside The Joseph, Yolan is the purest expression of…

There comes a time in every stylish man’s life when he must slip, guiltless, into utter luxury, succumbing to it wholly. It is precisely that time for Nashville interior designer Jonathan Savage, whose current home—his third—represents a natty mélange of modern lines and Old-World luxury. This luxury is not born simply of raw materials, but of story—of wallpaper Savage modernized from Dorothy Draper’s 1940s designs, of objets d’art found during travels, of a cherished art collection. The home reflects Savage’s appreciation of the intrinsic worth of exceptional pieces (such as chairs from the Van Cleef & Arpels salon) that are imbued with the magical juju of history and aesthetics. But this juju doesn’t evoke the sounds of drums from a faraway tribe; it fills one’s ears with the clinking of…
