A superb piece of hand-crafted jewellery is very special. The care, thought, hand-picked materials and sheer craftsmanship that goes into Idar jewellery makes the final creation incredibly personal and beautiful. That is exactly what Idar Jewellers has been doing for more than 45 years. Located in the heart of Fort Street in Victoria, idar serves as the retail showcase and working studio of the award-winning master goldsmith and nationally renowned jeweller Idar Bergseth. Idar’s vision is to create distinctive lines of jewellery that are exceptionally designed, made by hand using time-honoured techniques and intended for a lifetime of everyday use. That original idea and inspiration lives on in every piece he produces.

Having won many design awards since opening in 1973, Idar has established himself as a creator of some of the most original and stunning designs available on the West coast today. Idar’s talented and professional in-house goldsmiths utilize the same European handcrafting principles and techniques he trained in, and his daughter Lara compliments the team with her expertise as a Certified Gemmologist.

What better way to commemorate a special occasion, whether it’s a wedding, birthday or other milestone, than with a piece from Idar’s Summer Series? This popular series is a nod to our local flora and fauna. Superbly designed flowers, including calla lilies, roses and periwinkle, along with ladybugs and dragonflies, inspire these pieces of art.Then there is Idar’s Rosmalling Collection, which combines

the traditional Norwegian art of swirls and leaves with contemporary West Coast style to create timeless rings that you can call your own.

Recently, Idar was invited by DeBeers to carry its exclusive Forevermark diamonds, which are hand-selected for their beauty and their rarity. Less than one percent of the world’s diamonds are eligible to become Forevermark.

To ensure you are purchasing an original work of art, Idar’s signature bee trademark is stamped on the inside of each piece. At Idar, the piece of jewellery you buy today becomes the heirloom of tomorrow - one to be treasured for years to come.

a n i c k a Q u i n // e d i t o r -i n- c h i e f // a Q u i n@ W e s t e r n l i v i n g m a g a z i n e .c o m

When i moved out of my parents’ home over two decades ago, my first statement of

independence was to become vegetarian. as a staunch environmentalist, i believed the diet was more sustainable—and given that i was moving into university residence and my food would be cooked for me, it was an easy switch to make. (easy, yes; good, no: the campus cafeteria had about a half-dozen names for what was essentially their only vegetarian dish: vegetables in cheese sauce. “garden medley” was one of my favourites.)

i always said i didn’t miss meat, but last fall, 22 years into my diet—and after thinking about it for the previous three years—i started eating meat again. i was impressed with the sustainable agriculture methods being put into practice by some of our local farmers, and i found myself willing to revisit my decades-

old stance. (it’s going okay.)and so, this summer, i’ll be back on

barbecue for the first time since grunge rocked the airwaves and i had cobalt-blue bangs. and, lucky me, our food editor neal mclennan has put together the perfect summer barbecue package for this issue: from apple burgers and per-ogy potatoes to rhubarb-marinated pork tenderloins and grilled corn and peach salad. (With a few condiments from the hotel georgia’s david hawksworth, no less.) i’ll be taking my annual journey up

to our Powell river cabin this july, copy of this issue in hand, to astonish my friends with my new repertoire on the grill—expect to find my successes (and possible missteps) on instagram.

you can show us your own summer cooking adventures, too—just tag West-ern Living on facebook or instagram and we’ll share your best with others doing the same across the West. may it be a season of family and fun—i look forward to seeing your pictures.

Due WestONES TO WATCH

Willow and Stump cra� pieces with West Coast heart.

Local Heroes

Living small. It’s a concept that many Vancouverites have come to

embrace, including Kalyca Ryan and Bram Sawatzky, the creative minds behind wood-based furniture design company Willow and Stump. A� er graduating from the University of Alberta’s industrial design program in 2011, the duo decided to make the move to B.C., where they now create multi-functional furniture pieces designed for both small spaces and a locally focused lifestyle.

It’s these very principles that led Ryan and Sawatzky’s Ballast night-stand—a modular interpretation of a bedside table that can be adjusted according to a bed’s height—to win the People’s Choice award at last year’s Prototype design competition at IDSwest. “The objects we create not only need to function in small spaces,” says Sawatzky, “but we also want them to look good there, too.”

The pair’s designs are at once clean and innovative, from playfully curved chairs and cut-out tables to branch-like wall lamps and stream-lined growler transporters. “We love cra� beer, so that was a bit of a sel� sh project,” laughs Ryan as she recalls the origins of the Cutlass carriers. The result, however, was a paragon of West Coast-inspired design: stylish, envi-ronmentally friendly and extremely practical. —Lucy Lau

Best of the West Kalyca Ryan and Bram Sawatzky infuse each of their products—from growler carriers to dining tables—with a signature West Coast sensibility.

What’s the secret to finding the rightpaint colour?

You may see a colour in a magazine, or at a friend’s house, and think that colour can work for you, but it really depends on the space. In my space, the colour actually changes throughout the day because of the way the light re� ects o� of it. Get a big swatch or small can of paint so you can take a week to live with it, to understand how the light works with it before saying “I hate this” or “I love this.” And watch out for cool undertones. If we were living in Greece or a tropical place, they would be great, but for Western Canada, you need warmth and light.Find Beach Interiors online at kimsbeachinteriors.com.

Monster Surf Waimea Bay on a rare flat day (above left) and a more ferocious one (above right). A coastal trail ride (inset) is a more tranquil (and safer) option.

Due West / /48 hours on the north shor e By Neal M cleNNaN

Swell TimeThe map says that Oahu’s North Shore is only 65 klicks from Honolulu, but the area’s monster waves, chill vibe and low-fi dining couldn’t be further from the frenetic bustle of Waikiki.

ranch-cum-movie lot. Skip the movie tours—unless you really loved You, Me and Dupree—and instead hop on the back of a horse to realize how quickly civilization recedes from these parts and to slow down your urban pace to the North Shore set-ting. Once oneness with nature is achieved, dismount, slide into your car and proceed the remaining half-hour to Turtle Bay. The iconic resort has defined the North Shore since it opened in the early 1970s, but now it’s had a brand-new overhaul and is being managed by Joe Houssian’s (of Intrawest fame) new company—and that combo makes it the only serious lodging option in these parts.

saturdayThe new day starts with too many possibilities. Tennis? Golf 36 holes? But you’ve got to at least try getting up

fridayOahu is a medium-sized island (it’s smaller than Maui, just larger than Kauai, and it could fit into Vancou-ver Island 20 times with a Lanai left over), and it’s blessed with multi-lane highways, which means that the drive from the airport in the south to the North Shore can happen in under an hour if you time it right. Ignore Google maps that dictate you head up the east route—it’s marginally faster, but the western route rewards you with the ocean on one side and soar-ing verdant mountains on the other. The trip is so quick that you can jag just steps off the main road to Kualoa Ranch, the 4,000-acre historic

on a surfboard or it’s like going to the Vatican and skipping the Sistine Cha-pel. There’s an on-site outpost of the famed Hans Hedemann surf school, which will take you to one of the nearby coves to see if you have what it takes to hang ten. Ask (okay, insist) on Rocky Canon, former pro surfer turned wave whisperer, to be your spirit guide—if the sight of his effort-less cool on a board doesn’t spur you on to take up the sport, then you’re a lost cause, grommet. By lunchtime your arms will be rubber and your pride tenderized, so head in, towel off and hit one of the nearby surf meccas to see how it’s really done. Grab lunch at the institution that is Ted’s Bakery —for $10 you’ll get a plate lunch (a scoop of white rice, a scoop of maca-roni salad and your choice of a main, like chicken katsu) and a slice of Ted’s famous pie—a series of cream-filled

towering creations that look like they belong at the Brady Bunch’s table. you can probably now roll yourself into the parking lot located across from sunset Beach elementary school a short distance away. the beach is unmarked, but you are now at Banzai Pipeline. it’s tough to overstate the size and power of the waves here. they break insanely close to shore (this is why the vans triple crown of surfing calls this spot home), so much so it’s as if tiny earth-quakes are happening several times a minute as they crest and crash. grab a patch of sand, sit down and utter, as has been done a thousand times before, “those guys are nuts.”

On the way home, go at one of the cluster of shrimp stands (look for the tourist buses full of day trippers from Waikiki) not far from the entrance to turtle Bay. Giovanni’s is the old-school classic and still great, but we liked the shorter lines and nice char on the little fellas from Romy’s. either way, grab them to go and feast while strolling through turtle Bay’s 850 acres (for perspective, all of Waikiki can fit into 600 acres)—there’s always a secluded spot to find.

sundayin theory, you should be waking

up at the crack of dawn to catch some early-morning waves, but we won’t tell if you sleep in. you can get your fitness boost the easy way—an acai bowl. there’s an unnamed truck manned by a pair of Brazilian surfers just up from Pipeline, but if the surf is good they might not show, so continue on to the more reli-able Haleiwa Bowls in Haleiwa town. at either spot, grab your bowl of fruity goodness and spend one last session regarding giants, this time at Waimea Bay. the waves break further off-shore than at Pipeline, but when they’re big they have almost no comparison in size. Those guys are really nuts.

On the way back to Hono-lulu, take in a sport that no one associates with the north shore—polo. the Hawaii Polo Club, just past Haleiwa, opened in 1963 and sundays are game day. you can often see interna-tional sides from argentina and england ride against the best of the islands, and it’s only $12—how north shore is that? Match over, it’s time to hit the airport, less than an hour away. you’ll be sharing the road with many Honolulu residents, who treat the north shore as their per-sonal vacation spot, but unlike them, you’ll soon be flying back to reality.

The Shuswap River is an ancient passageway once used by First Nations as a trading route.

I love everything about the Shuswap River—boating, fl oating and canoeing. In August and September it has plentiful sandy beaches that are like paradise.

The Enderby Open Air Market and Cliff Avenue Pedestrian Market happen every Friday, and I love the mix of local crafts, the BEST chocolate and organic vegetables. I usually buy my produce there from my neighbours, Green Croft Gardens and Curly Willow Farm.

As soon as it’s warm enough, I’m all about swimming, swimming and more swimming: I hit Gardom Lake in early summer, then Mara Lake in mid-summer.

This area is amazing for hiking. The Enderby Cliff s trail has a great view and a well-kept path.

We have two favourite restaurants: Tanuki Sushi House in Armstrong has fantastic, real Japanese food, and the New Bombay Grill has very good authentic Nepalese food.

World-renowned installation artist Janet Cardi� praises the active lifestyle of living in B.C.’s Shuswap region. Cardi� and her Edmon-

ton-born partner, George Bures Miller, located their studio in the Grindrod area in 2006—the small village just outside of Salmon Arm. It acts as a natural counterbalance to the international art scenes in Madrid, Paris and Sydney, where the duo created projects in the last year. This summer, that international in� uence will meet the lush landscape of the Shuswap when their works, Experiment in F# Minor and The Muriel Lake Incident, will show at the Salmon Arm Art Gallery. The de� nitely-worth-a-drive-to-see show opens July 11 and runs until the end of August.—Louise Wallace

treasured islandPrime-Time ViewingOnce home to an art-ist’s ambitious seaside English garden—restored after the new home was built—the waterfront property captures both garden and ocean views.



ARight Angles The home is perfectly positioned over the water (left). Designed as a contemporary farmhouse, the place is open-concept: the homeowners wanted the sense that they could easily talk to each other anywhere in the space (right). The house shutters completely in the off-season (below).

s Margaret greene tells it, the property in the san juan islands that she and her husband, scotty, bought some 15 years ago “found them” rather than the other way around. Margaret, an attorney based in atlanta (as is her husband), was speaking at a telecommunications conference in seattle. the greenes had a couple of days tacked on to the end of their trip, so they decided to spend them in the san juans, which scotty remembered fondly from time spent there while in the military.

“it was 90 degrees and muggy in atlanta when we left,” recalls Margaret, “and here we were, having our coffee in fleece and wool socks, and we looked at each other and said, ‘How about moving here?’ We had been discussing where to go for part three of our lives. it had a little bit of everything we ever talked about.”

Margaret had also fallen in love with a piece of art at Friday Harbor House, where they were staying, by cornish landscape artist amanda richardson. When the greenes started looking for a place, their realtor drove them down a long driveway to a fouracre property on False Bay with the remnants of an ambitious english seaside garden. “the realtor said, ‘the woman who used to live here was a big gardener—she was english.’ and i

said, ‘this is amanda richardson’s house!’ He looked at me and said, ‘How did you know?’”

they had been on the island for a total of 36 hours—and ended up with a second home.

the greenes, now 63, were only then starting to plan for their retirement years, but they knew what they wanted: a home where they could get away from the bustle of city life, and a place that would comfortably fit the two of them, yet allow them to entertain their two children (now in their late 20s and early 30s) and a wide variety of friends, family and business associates. they also wanted to maximize the home’s view potential without expanding its footprint.

a few years after living in the existing house, the greenes contacted seattle architects Olson Kundig and began working with one of the partners, Kirsten Murray,

“They had come to under-stand the importance of agriculture to the area,” says architect Kirstin Murray. “The idea of having the form get some inspiration from agricultural architecture came into the design process.”

to help them reimagine the site. (tom Kundig, one of the owners at the firm, is one of the judges for this year’s Western Living Designers of the year awards and had designed a 500-square-foot guest house for the greenes, separate from the main house, in 2009.) “they had come to understand the history of the place, and the impor-tance of agriculture to the area,” says Murray. “the idea of having the form get some inspiration from agricultural architecture came into the design process.”

the greenes settled on a contemporary farmhouse look, with simple form and simple volume. “they really wanted the sense that either of them could be at any place in the house and talk to each other,” says Murray, who describes the two-storey open concept as “loft-like.” the couple also wanted to see False Bay from just about any point in the building. in the old house, says Margaret, all the water views were on the second floor, where their master bedroom and office are now. “We didn’t want to have the public areas on the second floor, so Kirsten came

up with the idea to raise everything up by about half a sto-rey—building up the foundation so that we’d have views from both levels.”

One of the most intriguing design features of the 2,800-square-foot house (completed in 2010) is the exte-rior spruce blinds: a 20-foot-tall system that serves both to limit sun and heat from the big western exposure and completely shutter the building (with its floor-to-ceiling aluminum-grid windows) when the greenes aren’t home. With an over-scale, steel-clad pivot door and a hopper win-dow at the east-facing entrance and big sliding screens off the western deck, “natural ventilation just flushes out all the built-up heat of the day,” according to Murray.

Beyond the big, open living spaces, there are also plenty of interesting nooks for the greenes to sneak away to, including a casual sitting room off the kitchen (where Margaret likes to take her coffee and read one of the books from their well-stocked library) and, just outside, a small patio with wicker chairs and a fireplace that serves as an outdoor eating area. and then there’s the garden—overgrown and almost lost by the time the greenes arrived. “a lot of things were damaged or dead, but a lot of things were still there,” says Marga-ret, herself an avid gardener. “and they were the most unusual plants, because the woman who had laid out the garden, amanda’s mother, was a horticulturalist in england.” Working with local landscape architect steve schramm, Margaret has helped return the garden to its former glory.

When i reach Margaret, it’s late spring in atlanta and the greenes are counting the days until their annual West coast pilgrimage. i ask what she’s looking forward to most. “it’s probably lying on the couch in the living room and looking out the window, which is pretty much the first thing we do once we get in the door. Dump the bags and… well, we head straight to the wine cooler, actually,” she says with a laugh.

Rest EasyThe lofted second floor is a favourite for reading and enjoying the view (below). In the master bedroom (right), antique maple art deco chairs, from the homeowners’ collection, offer warm contrast to the modern metal and concrete fireplace.

Homes & Design

the come back The Water’s EdgeArchitect Arthur Erick-son’s Eppich House in West Vancouver was first built in 1972. Extensive work on the property—including repairing major leaks—brought the home up to modern-day standards.



A saph Fipke doesn’t do any-thing the easy way. Back in 2002, the acclaimed cartoon producer was rapidly climbing the corporate ladder at Mainframe entertainment (now rainmaker) when he decided to launch his own venture. and over the course of the next decade, Fipke helped turn vancouver-based nerd corps into one of the largest children’s animation studios in north america, with emmy-award-winning fran-chises such as Slugterra to his credit.

so it should come as no surprise that when the now-44-year-old entrepreneur and self-described architecture buff went in search of a new house for his young family in 2010, he wouldn’t settle for what he calls a typical “match-stick and drywall” abode. indeed, he abandoned plans to build his own custom home and instead purchased one of the most acclaimed—and challenging—homes then on the market: architect arthur erickson’s iconic eppich House in West vancouver.

“i’d seen this house in architectural books before,” says asaph as we sit on cedar stools at the home’s new kitchen island, staring out at the expansive deck, heated pool and, beyond, the 1.2-acre property’s verdant garden and for-est. “at first i just wanted to gawk, but when i came and walked down the stairs, and i stood here and looked out—i fell in love with the space. it was so unique; there was nothing that i’d stood in before quite like it.”

But there were issues with the house—big issues,

Homes & Design

Historic RecordArchitectural firm Battersby Howat was charged with restoring the property, which included installing a window off the main entrance and creating a terrace (above). The original stairway had no handrails; the architects installed visually subtle (but much safer) steel rails (opposite). The Fipkes’ sons, Zane and Elias, lounge on a Tufty Time sofa by B&B Italia (opposite).


“I decided to protect it,” says homeowner Asaph Fipke, “by putting in the efforts that would make it so it would never need to be looked at as a teardown again.”

including the endemic problem of so many erickson prop-erties: it leaked. What makes the late architect so revered is the sense of connectedness his buildings have with their surroundings. the terraced eppich House is built into a steep incline in long, lateral bands: the fourth floor, where there’s a modest carport, is at street level, with two of the four bedrooms and asaph’s office on the third floor, the kitchen and living room on the second, and the mas-ter bedroom at the lowest level, facing reflecting ponds. that connectedness invariably comes into conflict with the rainy West coast environment, however. the house, built in 1972 for Helmut and Hildegard eppich, features exposed concrete beams that run from the terrace on the roof through the inside of the house—making it virtually impossible to rain-screen.

When asaph and his wife, Hemsa, bought the house, it had been on the market for over six months. Many prospective buyers were intimidated not only by the price (it was listed for $5.695 million, ultimately selling for $4.75 million) but also the amount of work and money

that would be required to rehabilitate the property. not the Fipkes. “i decided to protect it by putting in the efforts that would make it so it would never need to be looked at as a teardown again,” says asaph. “We did everything we could to bring the house up to a modern standard while still retaining what was the hope and purpose of the build-ing in the first place.”

to help with that, the Fipkes called in vancouver architectural firm Battersby Howat. For David Battersby, who was first introduced to architecture at the age of 16 when flipping through a coffee table book of erickson’s work, the eppich restoration project was both thrilling and nerve-racking. “We were excited to be doing this, but we also knew that all eyes would be on us—seeing what we’d done and not done.”

Beyond the leakiness (which was addressed by adding a membrane to the top terrace, covering the exposed beam, and adding a drain tile to the back of the house), there were a variety of smaller fixes required. “the architecture is very robust, but the details on the house were very, in a

Master ArchitectureThe kitchen was originally a galley, which the architects opened out to the living area and upgraded with quartz countertops and Corian veneer cabinetry. Asaph Fipke is an art collector: a piece by Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun hangs just outside the kitchen (below), a Gordon

Smith painting hangs in the nearby lounge area (opposite, top); and a Shawn Hunt mask rests in the master bath (opposite, bottom right). On the lowest level of the terraced home (opposite, bottom), the master bedroom and bathroom look out on the reflecting ponds.

“We did everything we could to bring the house up to a modern standard,” says Fipke, “while still retaining what was the hope and purpose of the building in the first place.”



Great OutdoorsHomeowner Asaph Fipke, with sons Zane and Elias (above), plays around the pool, newly lined and updated. A new membrane on the top terrace addressed the leaks that had plagued the original design. The outdoor space shown above exists on the mid-level of the home; the master bedroom and bath are below.

way, crude and simple,” says Battersby. Wood doors and door frames were replaced with steel frames and floor-to-ceiling doors, aluminum grilles supporting a new central air system replaced aged ones, and quarry tile flooring was replaced with polished limestone. and then there was the lack of certain modern-day elements—like hand-rails on the staircases. (“When i first walked in here, i just saw death,” says Hemsa, laughing.) steel handrails and cables were added throughout to make the home safe for the Fipkes’ two young boys, Zane and elias.

there was also a desire from the homeowners to unlock unused space in the 4,500-square-foot home—particu-larly in the kitchen, which was critical for Hemsa, an avid cook and entertainer. “the kitchen was enclosed and cut off,” says Battersby. “it was from an era that hadn’t quite swept off the idea that spaces had to be differentiated.” the galley kitchen was opened up and upgraded with new quartz countertops, corian veneer cabinets and stainless steel appliances. the Fipkes also converted storage rooms in the lower level into a toy room for the kids and a media

room for the whole family. (“it has no windows and great acoustics, so it makes for the perfect theatre,” says asaph.)

and then there’s the rooftop patio on the top level, just off the carport and mud room, which had been closed off since the house was built some 40 years ago. “you couldn’t even see that the roof was there,” says Hemsa. “it’s the one place where you get a view of the water and the whole property.” the Fipkes punched in a window and door off the mud room and converted the crude pebble roof into a stone-tiled terrace, where Hemsa now has a small garden.

Both asaph and Hemsa talk about being “custodi-ans” of the eppich House—and acknowledge that work remains to keep it livable for another four decades. still, already they are seeing dividends from their investment of time, money and love. David stouck, who wrote a 2013 biography of arthur erickson, happens to be the Fipkes’ next-door neighbour. “One day he saw me on my rooftop garden,” recalls Hemsa, “and he said, ‘arthur would be very proud of what you did here.’ that’s when i knew this had all been worth it.”

recipes by BRIAN MISKO // styling by LAWREN MONETA // photographs by CLINTON HUSSEY

WILD So let’s get our nomenclature straight. Barbecuing is cook-ing very slowly with indirect heat. It’s fantastic; if you have the surplus of time to do it, then we congratulate you for investing in Apple stock in 2002 and earning your life of leisure. Grilling, on the other hand—that’s what the rest of us do when summer hits. We use gas, occasionally charcoal, and

it doesn’t have to take an entire day. But just because it’s faster doesn’t mean that it can’t result in the season’s most memorable meals. We’ve enlisted Brian Misko, champion barbecuer, world-class griller and author of the recently publishedGrilling with the House of Q, to help navigate your path to outdoor cooking nirvana in a few short and easy steps.



Val’s Award-Winning Apple Burgers A� er a� ending a number of bar-becue competitions with House of Q, my sister, Valerie Bielenda, was inspired to create a burger and asked if she should enter it in the Canadian National BBQ Championships on behalf of the team. There were 35 or so entries that year, and at her very � rst competition, she was awarded third place for this burger. Not a bad � rst try.

1½ lb ground beef½ red bell pepper, diced½ onion, diced3 Granny Smith apples, unpeeled

(1 cored and grated, 2 sliced o� the core)

1 tbsp your favourite barbecue seasoning

Pinch cayenne pepperPinch salt1 lb bacon, cut in thick slices½ to 1 cup your favourite fruit-based

barbecue sauce6 to 8 very thick slices extra-aged

cheddar cheese6 to 8 soft white burger buns,

toasted and cut in half2 to 3 leaves green leaf lettuceWhite barbecue sauce (optional;

see westernliving.ca for recipe)

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, red pepper, onion, grated apple, seasoning, cayenne and salt. Using your hands, mix until ingredients are evenly distributed through the meat.

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper. Divide meat into 6 to 8 equal balls, then form each one into a patty about ½- to ¾-inch thick. Arrange patties on the baking sheet, then refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes while you prepare your grill.

Prepare your grill for direct grilling on medium heat. Place bacon on the grill and cook until the fat starts to render and crisp. Transfer cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, then increase temperature to medium-high.

Place burgers on grill and sear on one side, with the lid closed, until a crust has formed. Place apple slices on the grill to warm through and get some grill marks. Flip burgers over, brush with the fruit-based barbecue sauce, and top each one with a slice of grilled apple and a slice of cheese.

Close the lid and cook for another 4-8 minutes, or until the meat’s internal temperature reaches 160°F.

Remove from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes. Slide burgers onto individual buns, top with lettuce, bacon and a generous smear of the optional white barbecue sauce. And let’s congratulate Val! This is an awesome burger. Serves 6 to 8.

TIP After forming the patties, put them in the fridge or even the freezer for 30 minutes or up to an hour—they’ll retain their shape better when they’re cooking.

VAL’S AWARD-WINNING APPLE BURGERS


SMOKE-PLANKED PEROGY POTATOES

Smoke-Planked Perogy Potatoes If you really know your pero-gies, top these potatoes with sour cream and sautéed onions. Have a wooden plank on hand to cook the potatoes.

3 large russet potatoes, washed and scrubbed

¼ cup butter½ sweet onion, diced1 cup cottage cheese2 cups grated cheddar cheese2 tbsp sea salt or kosher salt1 wooden plank, unsoaked6 to 8 slices bacon, fried until crisp,

cooled and crumbledSour cream (optional)

Prepare your grill for indirect cooking on medium heat. Place potatoes on the cool side of the grill and roast for 40 to 60 minutes, or until a knife or toothpick can pierce them and easily be removed. Take potatoes o� the heat, and allow to cool until easy to handle. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the fl esh, leaving enough attached

to the skin so the potato has some structure. Place potato fl esh in a large bowl and set aside.

Melt butter in a sauté pan on low to medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened (5 to 15 minutes). Using a fork, stir onions into the potato fi lling, then mash. Add cottage and cheddar cheeses and salt and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasoning, as necessary. Scoop this fi lling into the reserved potato skins. (You can make the potatoes ahead to this point, then chill them until you’re ready to fi nish them at your cookout.)

Prepare your grill for cooking on medium heat. Set the plank on the grill and set stu� ed potatoes on top. Close lid and plank-roast the pota-toes for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat once heated through and cheese is melted. Garnish with bacon bits and sour cream (if using) before serving. Serves 3 to 6.

TIP Keep a spray bottle handy when cooking with planks. A quick spritz will both extinguish fi re and keep other fl are-ups from occurring.



Rhubarb-Marinated Pork Tenderloins with Jack Daniel’s Apples I grew up with my grandma’s rhurbarb.

1 to 2 lb fresh rhubarb, rinsed and chopped

½ cup + 3 tbsp brown sugar, divided3 tbsp orange juice1 tbsp apple cider vinegar2 to 3 pork tenderloins, trimmed2 to 3 tbsp butter2 Granny Smith or Gala apples,

peeled, cored and cut into wedges⅓ cup bourbon or Jack Daniel’s

whisky1 tsp ground cinnamon1 tsp ground nutmeg

In a sauté pan, combine rhubarb, orange juice, vinegar and 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar and simmer on medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until rhubarb is soft. Remove from heat. Pour half the rhu-barb mixture into a resealable plastic bag large enough to hold the pork tenderloins. (Reserve the remaining marinade in a bowl.) Add tenderloins to the bag, seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, if you can, overnight. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and the remaining ½ cup brown sugar on medium heat. Add apples and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the apples are soft and a sauce has thickened. Add bourbon (or whisky), cinnamon and nutmeg and cook for 5 more minutes to allow the fl avours to combine. Reduce heat to low and keep warm until the pork is cooked.

Prepare your grill for direct grilling on medium-high heat. Brush or wipe the grates with oil, if necessary. Remove the tenderloins from plastic bag and scrape o� any excess marinade. Place pork directly over the heat and sear it, rolling the meat every few minutes. Continue cooking until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145°F. Remove meat from grill and allow to rest. To serve, cut each tenderloin into 2-inch slices. Place 2 or 3 slices on individual plates, top with spoonfuls of the reserved marinade and serve with the Jack Daniel’s apples. Serves 4 to 6.

Grilled Corn, Black Bean and Peach SaladThis salad is awesome with chicken, pork or steaks, or with burgers.

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil2 tbsp apple cider vinegarJuice of 2 limes3 to 4 ears fresh corn, shucked,

or 2 large cans corn kernels, drained and rinsed

1 large can black beans, drained and rinsed

2 or more fresh freestone peaches, diced

1 red onion, diced1 red bell pepper, diced1 bunch fresh cilantro, roughly

choppedSalt and black pepper

In a stainless steel bowl, whisk together olive oil, cider vinegar and lime juice. If using fresh corn, prepare your grill for direct grilling on medium-high heat. Place corn on the grill, turning the cobs every few minutes, for 10 to 20 minutes, or until kernels have colour and start to separate from each other (an easy sign that the corn is cooked). Remove corn from grill and allow cobs to cool. Cut the kernels from the cobs. In a salad bowl, toss corn, black beans, peaches, onion, bell pepper and cilantro. Pour dressing over salad and mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve family-style. Serves 6 to 8.

Trade Secrets

Though Vancouverites love a good view—and this waterfront False Creek home certainly has its share of them—blue and green can get a little overplayed. “The colouring from the water and the trees is beautiful, but we wanted something that would break from that and play o� of it,” says designer Miguel Brovhn. He and designer Julie Miller went bold with their choice of hue and peppered a warm, vibrant orange in small hits throughout the space. “It complements the walnut and contrasts against the natural palette outside,” says Brovhn. In the neutral, calm kitchen, a cluster of Bocci 28.19 lights hangs above the table—three of the 19 lights are bright orange orbs, visible right from the front door. That’s no accident, says Brovhn. “They guide you like a beacon into the space.”

Use bold colour in small doses for a big impact.
