Local culinary experts reveal how family recipes have shaped their menus.

Growing up in Durban, South Africa, restaurateur Ivan Spiers learned plenty about cuisine from his family during his childhood—and it opened his eyes to a culinary world that spans much of the globe, yet retains distinctly unique elements as well. “South Africa had a lot of Irish, English, Dutch, African, Indian and Malaysian influence,” he explains.

From architectural arches to furniture pieces with rounded edges, the trend of embracing curves continues in contemporary homes.

“Arches have been a staple to design dating back as early as 200 B.C.,” says Juaneice Munoz, CEO and principal designer of La Casa Azul Design, “but have started to become more popular as of late. We add arches to bars, cabinets, doors, doorways and fireplaces, and borrow from Greek, Mediterranean and Spanish styles to create a timeless design.”

The Friday Kahlo museum (left) encompasses Casa Azul, the Blue House, which displays her paintings as well as photos, folk art, personal items and furnishings in many rooms including the area where she painted with views out to the courtyard gardens.

Step into the Enchanted Forest to experience a world of wonder at the Museum of Make Believe.

"At our ribbon cutting, we had a little girl come in with a notepad and she was drawing pictures and writing her own stories in the exhibit," says museum co-founder Amy Mitchell. "That’s what we want to see—and hopefully that will be the next generation and the next. So that’s what we’d love to try to spark."

United by friendship and driven by talent and determination, popular local band The Great North Special is hitting its stride with the release of its first full-length record.

“This whole thing came from the seed that was planted many, many years ago when we were figuring out how to write songs together and keeping that little flame lit until we could get here—with the big electric band in the back of our minds the whole time,” says frontman Andrew Corradini, a Laguna resident who grew up in town along with a couple of the other band members.

Award-winning jeweler Adam Neeley combines his talents in goldsmithing and gemology with masterful designs to create wearable pieces of art.

Neeley is inspired by nature, whether it’s flowers, seashells or color palettes like the purple blossoms and green leaves of a jacaranda tree. “Nature’s one of my favorite muses,” Neeley says. “[I] take a look at something that’s really beautiful in nature, like a flower, and … kind of distill down those elements, like the curves and movement into something that’s a modern, abstract interpretation.”
