If you have any doubt that season is stretching into summer, welcome to June. For a month when things are supposed to be “slowing down,” there’s quite a lot going on—and many reasons to celebrate. One of my favorite observations in June is Pride Month, when we spotlight the accomplishments and contributions of the LGBTQ community. I loved the idea of showing support in our pages, so a few months ago, at the amfAR gala, I approached event wiz Jeff Fowler with a thought: Why not put together a team of partners to assemble creative scenes in celebration of LGBTQ culture? Jeff was immediately onboard and, several brainstorming sessions later, we hatched a plan to create rainbow vignettes inspired by cult gay films. The result is a riot of color…

Although industrial agriculture has made production easier and food more widely available, it comes with an ethical and environmental impact. According to the Land Health Institute, the global meat industry uses a third of the world’s fresh water and produces more greenhouse gases than the entire world’s transportation emissions. Considering meat consumption has tripled since the 1960s, it’s likely that production and consumption will continue to rise. As this happens, industrial farm animals will become even more densely packed together and their treatment will worsen. They are already subjected to antibiotics to treat and prevent bacterial infections, growth hormones to expedite production, an unnatural diet of grains instead of grasses, genetic modification and mutilation, and a lifetime of confinement. Furthermore, it takes 1,700 gallons of water to produce 1 pound…

Maine is famed for its dramatic, windswept coastlines, yet some of its greatest treasures lie inland. Case in point: Hidden Pond, a 60-acre resort etched into the balsam fir– and birch-draped forests beyond downtown Kennebunkport, open seasonally from May through October. A total of 46 cottages, bungalows, and treetop lodges dot the woodsy environs, complemented by a whimsical tree spa (with treatment rooms 8 feet above the ground), lush gardens, and a farm-to-table restaurant called Earth. Add to this activities rooted in wellness (think: guided forest therapy) and others reminiscent of summer camp (Ping-Pong or s’mores, anyone?), plus proximity to the sea, and prepare to revel in New England’s ultimate summer vacation. Hidden Pond first impresses with its campus-style layout and diversity in accommodations, each cozier than the next. From…

Nutritionist and author Adelle Davis famously said, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.” In Palm Beach, where the bar on parties is constantly raised, that is advice to take to heart. After all, breakfast is as good a time as any to celebrate. For a “royal” breakfast to celebrate Palm Beach Illustrated’s April issue and its cover star, Daphne Oz, we turned to Le Bilboquet, the expert on all things French. We asked: What would Queen Marie Antoinette serve at her breakfast table? Executive pastry chef Etienne Le Bastard answered with an over-the-top menu of pastries traditionally served in France’s royal courts of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. For example, the croquembouche was invented in eighteenth-century France by chef-to-royalty Marie-Antoine Carême. And…

Oysters may get all the glory, but mussels are more popular worldwide. They lack the briny flavor of oysters, which makes them more compatible with many distinctive and exotic preparations. Throughout Palm Beach County, restaurants are using mussels as a canvas for their culinary creations. Here are a few to try now. PISTACHE, West Palm Beach: Nothing says France more than a steaming pot of moules served with pommes frites. At this classic rendition of a Parisian bistro, the shellfish are presented in a broth of white wine, garlic, and shallots, and garnished with a blizzard of parsley. (pistachewpb.com) PREZZO, Palm Beach Gardens and Boca Raton: Originally opened in 1989 and reincarnated in 2017, Prezzo has long been a standard-bearer for traditional Italian cuisine. Mussels Fra Diavolo is a signature…

The sweltering days and hot nights of summer are upon us, so it’s time to make the best of it with languid afternoons at the pool, tasty cookouts, and refreshing beer cocktails. The British Shandy, the German Radler, the French Picon Bière, and the increasingly popular Mexican Michelada are some of the simplest and tastiest examples of low-proof beer cocktails that are perfect for this hot weather. Beer-based libations have a long, rich history. Shakespeare and Dickens both alluded to them in their work, and the most well-known of the beer cocktails, the Shandy, is thought to derive from the British slang phrase “shant of gatter” or “pub water.” The pub water of Mexico, the classic Michelada, can kick up the flavor of a nice, cold beer. It traditionally consists…

Palm Beach is known for its “Big Five” architects: John Volk, Marion Sims Wyeth, Addison Mizner, Maurice Fatio, and Howard Major. However, there are many other architects who contributed to the Palm Beach style. For instance, Henry Harding (1904-1984) designed more than 400 residences in South Florida during his 40-year career. He trained at Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania and was a draftsman for both Marion Sims Wyeth and Howard Major before opening his own office in Palm Beach and, later, Ocean Ridge. How do you know it’s a Harding? He is best known for his interpretation of the Bermuda and Regency styles, and his clean lines and symmetrical facades are modern in their expression. Get to know Harding and his work via these three local residences. 1. EVERGLADES…

• Grass-fed cows have less fat and higher levels of heart-healthy omega-3s and vitamins A and E. Grass-fed and -finished means the cows are fed nothing but grass after weaning. • Pasture-raised, certified-humane poultry produce healthier eggs with twice the omega-3s, three times the vitamin D, four times the vitamin E, and seven times the beta carotene as conventional caged. • Certified-humane chickens are able to roam free, forage on their natural diet, and socialize. Free-range means that they have access to 2 square feet of space. • Wild seafood is caught in the animal’s natural environment, where they can eat their natural diets. • Farmed seafood is typically raised in crowded pens where antibiotic use is high, artificial coloring may be added to already processed feed, and contaminants and…

German white wine was enormously popular in America during the 1970s and ’80s—not just Riesling but Liebfraumilch brands such as Blue Nun, too. This improbable situation persisted until Chardonnay mania swept the country, at which point German whites were ridiculed for being too sweet, even though the most popular Chardonnays of the 1990s had sugar levels higher than the average Kabinett-level Riesling. American consumers have become more sophisticated in recent decades, and Riesling is back. Much has changed in Germany as well, where vintners are making wine for the international market and wine laws have been overhauled to make labels less confusing (or so the Germans believe). Dry wine is now in vogue, and there’s an increasing awareness of how food-friendly the wines really are. And thanks to global warming,…

Local fitness instructor Montana Globerman pumped up the volume and creativity of her workouts and has amassed a devoted fan following for what she calls The Montana Method. After a decade of teaching both in studios and privately, Globerman took time off to have children. It was after her second child that she realized she missed moving, teaching, and interacting with the community around her. As a result, she developed The Montana Method—a full-body workout that blends Pilates, barre, dance, and yoga—and began teaching classes out of her garage. The positive response led Globerman to open her own studio in Delray Beach two years ago. In addition to in-studio classes offered seven days a week, she has a digital library of 200-plus workouts. What’s unique about the program other than…

What’s been a defining moment in your career? My career-defining moment actually happened before I had a career. My pottery teacher in college told me I had no talent and should become a lawyer. It was the best advice I never took; I think every creative person needs a naysayer to rebel against. My career has been an unimaginable creative odyssey, and it probably wouldn’t have happened if someone hadn’t told me I couldn’t do it.  Where does your passion for design come from? I’d like to think it’s all me, me, me, but the truth is I was blessed with an extremely creative father (lawyer by vocation, painter by avocation) and a groovy mother whose ebullient sense of color inspires me to this day. Tell us about your new…

Arrested for drug trafficking at the age of 17, Allie Severino faced a possible prison sentence of 120 years. She thought her life was over. “I even wanted to go to prison because I was convinced I couldn’t succeed on probation,” she says. But Severino got a lucky break when the judge assigned to her case decided not to give up on her. “He saw something in me that I didn’t even see in myself at the time,” she says. “It’s people like him, who gave me a second chance, who allow me to live the life I live today.” More than a decade later, Severino is sober and thriving in her new role as a homeless outreach specialist for the City of West Palm Beach. “They didn’t look at…

Chef Jeremy Ford is many things: the winner of Top Chef season 13, the co-host of Tru TV’s Fast Foodies, and the culinary mastermind behind Miami’s Stubborn Seed and The Butcher’s Club, a new modern steak house inside the PGA National Resort. But perhaps the descriptor he’s most proud of is father of three. The native Floridian always takes Father’s Day off and spends it with his daughters the best way he knows how: picnicking by the water, playing some Rummikub, and cooking dinner at home. PBI recently caught up with Ford to chat about family, cooking, and his latest venture. (pgaresort.com) PBI: Growing up, did you cook at home with your parents much? What would you make? Ford: We did a lot of grilling. My dad or my…

You may hear “cucumber” and think “spa,” and with good reason. Cucumbers can soothe eyes and reduce puffiness, which is why they’re often placed over the eyes during a facial. You can make a scrub for your skin with cucumber and readily available ingredients like sea salt and coconut oil. The benefits of cucumbers go beyond the topical, however. Nutritionally, these relatives of the gourd are high in potassium, magnesium, and vitamin K and may help regulate your blood sugar. Consisting of about 96 percent water, cucumbers help hydrate you while providing fiber that fills you up. This summer, consider consuming them in salads, flavored water, as a tonic, or simply as raw, chilled spears.…
