Innholdsfortegnelse for June 2015 i Palm Beach Illustrated

June is that magical time of year when we slow down a little and fully appreciate Florida living. While we thrive on the energy of the population swell in the winter, we admittedly enjoy a quiet early-morning walk along the beach, instant table reservations and crowd-free shopping (and parking!). On the other hand, we can’t stop reminiscing about the season—that seven-month stretch of endless parties and gatherings, all in the name of a good cause. And what a season it has been. From Steven Tyler rocking the stage at the For Everglades Benefit, to the emotional presentation of Oscar de la Renta’s final collection, to Valiente winning the U.S. Open Polo Championship in a nail-biter of a game, this year has been full of moments to remember. This is why…

The perfect Palm Beach summer sip has arrived. Tracy Stern’s Tea & Co. line of organic iced teas not only tantalizes taste buds but also pays homage to our favorite pockets of Palm Beach. Stern is a bona fide tea guru, having opened the Salontea international tea boutiques and penned two tomes dedicated to her favorite drink. Her new Palm Beach tea collection includes six blends named for island locales, like the No. 6 Worth, a mix of black tea, strawberry and raspberry, and the No. 4 Via Vizcaya, a marriage of green tea and mango. Each blend is packaged in a tea caddy that captures the colorful essence of the island. Purchase teas and discover tea cocktail recipes at tracysterntea.com, or grab them locally at Leta Austin Foster in…

Palm Beach is already charming, but Thomas and Jamie Tomas are making it even sweeter. In February, they opened Sweet Spot Palm Beach, a walk-in eatery in the former Stephen Bonanno Sandals storefront offering items like fresh-pressed juices, to-go breakfast and lunch items and its enticing specialty: handmade, slow-churned frozen custard. Just how decadent is it? Take a look at this luscious Palm Beach-inspired sundae the Tomases created just for Palm Beach Illustrated: scoops of chocolate, salted caramel and vanilla custards accessorized with white and dark chocolate Godiva pearls, assorted truffles, handmade whipped cream, hot fudge, shimmering rock-candy diamonds and a decorative mold created in the shop. It's our favorite way to keep cool this summer. (561-888-4620, sweetspotpb.com)…

Lorraine Rogers-Bolton of Rogers Design Group created a Zen atmosphere in this new grand entrance at a home in Admirals Cove in Jupiter. This addition acts as a calming gateway to this modern abode. Rogers-Bolton worked with Steve Parker of Parker-Yannette Design Group in Jupiter to create a landscape design that features bamboo trees and is reminiscent of the East. The sleek ipe wood decking provides the perfect canvas for the glazed-ceramic fountain. A bronze sculpture by artist Osika is visible through the glass doors and, from this perspective, appears to float above the fountain, a feat of optical illusion.

For decades, Boston counted on its bounty of historical, cultural and intellectual riches to enchant visitors and maintain must-visit prominence. But in recent years, the history-steeped “Cradle of Liberty” has also developed a true cosmopolitan edge, playing twenty-first-century catch-up to gain equal standing among its metropolitan peers. In particular, Boston has solidified its role in the global foodie movement, coming into focus as a blank canvas for New England’s farm-to-table and ocean-to-table assets and gaining new respect in the world of modern cuisine thanks to a wealth of chef-driven restaurants. Here, a microcosm of what the buzz is all about. BAR BOULUD Floridians are hardly strangers to the prowess of Chef Daniel Boulud, but at the new Boston outpost of his wildly popular New York and London eatery, Bar Boulud,…

No, we’re not talking about Picasso. The paloma is the most popular tequila-based cocktail in Mexico, easily eclipsing its close cousin, the margarita. It has two main virtues: It uses grapefruit soda in addition to lime juice, which many tequila aficionados feel is a better match, and it’s so simple to make you hardly need to be a bartender. Recipes generally call for blanco tequila, but some connoisseurs prefer reposado. If you’re unable to locate grapefruit soda, substitute a mixture of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, simple syrup (or agave nectar) and club soda. Ingredients Salt Ice 2 oz. tequila B/c oz. lime juice 6 oz. grapefruit soda Rim a Collins glass with salt. Fill the glass with ice, add tequila and lime juice and top with grapefruit soda.…

“BIRDS ARE A MIRACLE BECAUSE THEY PROVE TO US THERE IS A FINER, SIMPLER STATE OF BEING WHICH WE MAY STRIVE TO ATTAIN.” —DOUGLAS COUPLAN NESTING INSTINCT Palm Beach designer Scott Snyder made this Worth Avenue penthouse sing using a thoughtfully selected mélange of bird accents. Inspired by the famous interior designer Sister Parish, Snyder created a fanciful design for a client who splits her time between Boston and Palm Beach. “Sister’s fine hand in interpreting English [design] and Chinoiserie was my inspiration to transport my client’s sophistication from Boston to the tropics,” he says. “We collected nineteenth-century mirrors, tables and chairs mixed with eighteenth-century porcelains and then added a nice balance of modern pieces that all played off the gorgeous bird-infused custom wallcovering from de Gournay.” (561-659-6255, scott snyderinc.com)…

Move over sesame, flax and pumpkin seeds—chia seeds are the teenytiny super food everyone is talking about. These healthy seeds hail from Mexico and Guatemala and are derived from a flowering plant in the mint family. They come in black and white varieties—with no real nutritional difference between the colors—and are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein and antioxidants. Unlike flax, chia seeds do not need to be ground before use and are relatively tasteless, so they can be incorporated into many foods without altering the flavor profile. Add chia seeds to salads or cereals, blend them into a smoothie or sprinkle them over a bowl of ice cream for an added healthy crunch.
