Chef Daniel Boulud renovated the kitchen in his Manhattan apartment to create a dream home kitchen that was more modern and open than his previous smaller space. He worked with architect Stephanie Goto to design a 150 square foot kitchen with high quality appliances from Gaggenau and storage systems from Dada. Boulud's goals for the redesign were to have a space that was efficient for entertaining small groups but felt like a home kitchen rather than his large professional one downstairs.

Holiday time always reminds me of the years I lived in Scandinavia.
In the late 1970s, the great French chef Roger Vergé brought me to
Copenhagen to oversee one ofhis restaurants. I loved Denmark and
ended up staying for three and a halfyears. Christmas was ân espe-
cially magical time in Copenhagen. Groups of friends would go from
house to house, spreading cheer and exchanging toasts. Invariably,
there would be food-light snacks such as the bite-size sandwiches,
smoked fish, and meatballs that one typically finds on a traditional
Scandinavian smorgasbord.
For a holiday cocktail partf I've created a miniature smorgasbord
incorporating some of my favorite midwinter ingredients. Fresh oys-
is of a Larsen ine¡.
SALUTING THE SEASON
What better way to usher in the holidays thøn
ø celebration with a scq"ndinøvian twist? This trio of hors d'oeuvres
is sure to get the party sta"rted.
BY DANIEL BOULUD
ters, served here with minced apple and grated horseradish, always
feel celebratory. I like to use the Pacific variet¡ as they are partic-
ularly creamy. The sandwich-smoked trout with radicchio and
grapefruit on rye-has an amazing balance of flavors: bitter, tart,
sweet, and smoky.I give it my own Gallic spin with a spread of chive
butter, instead ofthe classic lard, and a little crème fraîche. Finally,
no smorgasbord is complete without meatballs, Mine were inspired
by the iconic Danish Christmas lunch: duck with red-currant sauce
and cabbage, Pair these hors d'oeuvres with an ice-cold shot ofaqua-
vit, and let's toast to a wonderful holiday season and many more deli-
cious meals and happy gatherings in the new year, Skril/ >

CULINARY REVIVAL
Daniel Boulud redefines living above the shop, creating ø dreamLtome kitchen a fraction of the
size of his professional one downstairs, yet with everything he needs
¡lr
ELLE DECOR: What prompted you to make a new
kitchen for yourself after all this time?
DANIEL BOULUD: Well, I am a person of change. We
change things in the restaurant all the time, and
there were some major changes in my life, so I
decided to renovate the whole apartment, to make
it more modern-it hadn't been touched since I
moved here in 1998.
ED: What did you want from your new kitchen?
DB: First, I wanted more space. The old one was
about 150 square feet. It was difficult for my part-
ner, Katherine, and me to cook in it together, and
there was a wall between the kitchen and the dining
room. Like most people who entertain, I don't like
I
to be cut off from my guests when I cook. I wanted it
modern, but not too modern-efflcient and serene,
and I wanted it to be distinctly a home kitchen, not
a professional one.
ED: Is it true that you used to cook for friends at
your restaurant?
DB: Yes. Daniel is right downstairs, and it has
a 5,000-square-foot professionaÌ kitchen, but I
wânted to have somewhere I could entertain at
home for small groups and close friends, a piace to
open a good bottle ofwine and enjoy a quiet evening.
ED: You used architect Stephanie Goto, who de-
signed Morimoto and Monkey Bar. What was it
about her that appealed to you? >

DB: I knew her work, and I had met her over the
years and found her to be a nice person, someone
who would be patient with me. She has an amazing
aesthetic, with great clarity ofline and proportion.
I really liked her work at Corton in Tribeca, which
had the same calmness I wanted for my home. It
turned out to be a very good collaboration.
ED: What convinced you to choose Dada systems
for your cabinet and drawer storage?
DB: I was exploring several options, but when I went
to their showroom, I very much liked what I saw.
It's a clean system, and it comes with incredible
options for storage, like the pultout storâge shelves
for the corner cabinet. They were greât to work
with and even finished early.
ED: And the Gaggenau appliances?
DB: Well, it's German engineering. They're just
great. No matter where you go in Europe, any small
gastronomic kitchen in France or in Scandinavia,
that's what you find: a Gaggenau steam oven and
multipurpose oven or two. They're the top of the
game, and great when you want to save space.
ED: What were your most important decisions?
DB: The cooking equipment and the arrangement of
things. The gritt andplancha (griddle) were impor-
tant for diversity. Think shrimp or steak on the
barbie versus seared scallops ò la plancha. Ihave
a steam oven and a gas oven, both ofwhich have
their merits. Induction is quick heating, although
it takes some getting used to, and it,s easy to Þ

WHATTHE PROS KNOW
. Chef Boulud suggests ìnstalting sha{Low
cabìnets: "You can't reach thìngs if they're
hidden behind everything eLse." He
recommends pullouts, [azy Susans, and
speciatized drawer fittings for optimum
effi ciency and organization
. For countertops, Boulud setected Caesar-
stone, a product made from engineered
quartz. lt's good-looking and, just as jmpor-
tant, nonabsorbent, unLike most stone lt's
cruciaL to keep counters uncLuttered, Boulud
says. "Use them as workspace, not storage
N.4inimal is best."
. Boutud stashes away his countertopapplì-
ances when they are not in use. His recom-
mended smattappLiances jnclude a Vitamix

clean. And though gas is old school, we enjoy hav-
ing both options.
ED: But you don't have a microwave?
DB: Well, I don't really need one. I reheat things or
keep them warm in the oven. I also have two warm-
ing drawers that I use to heat plates. I make popcorn
on the stovetop, au naturel.
ED: If you had to strip your kitchen down to the
bones, what couldn't you live without?
DB: A multipurpose oven, good knives, â Vitamix
blender, and an espresso machine.
ED: And along those same lines, what would you say
is your favorite feature in your new kitchen?
D& I love my triple-bowl sink, which is also part
of the Dada line. It's a stainless steel sink that has
cutting boards and drain boards fitted into it, and
they slide back and forth on tracks. It,s incredibly
versatile. It's a perfect sink.
ED: Where did you get the idea for creating the hex-
agonal dining table?
The wet bar's fittings
are by Dornbracht, the
glasses are by Riedel,
and the artwork ls by
I/anoLo Valdés. BELowl
The floor plan.
DB: I just thought that a round top was boring, And
six is really the ideal size, It keeps things simple
and intimate. So I thought, why not? Stephanie
Goto was very much part of the design. But in any
case, the table has a larger round top that fits over
the hexagon, so we can seat as many as 10, but a
party any bigger than that stops being about an eve-
ning at home with friends.
ED: Speaking offriends, I see you have a Stephanie
Odegard Himalayan wool rug in the dining room.
You know her, too, don't you?
DB: Oh, yes, We've been fríends for years. She has
the best rugs, She's done the rugs for all my restau-
rants. It's a tradition.
ED: So do you enjoy using your new kitchen?
DB: I don't think I've even experienced all it has to
offer yet. It's big enough for two of us to cook in at
the same time, and I've even let a guest or two join
us. I haven't thought ofanything to change yet, so I
guess that means I must like it the way it is. perhaps

4/hen approached with the significant
undertaking of creating a wedding registry
without the assistance of her husband, |ulian
Triscott, Meredith (née Goforth) welcomed
the idea with open arms. Together they decided
that she would choose items that could serve as
everlasting pieces for their forever home, but the
specific decisions would ultimately remain up to
the bride.
"I trust Meredith's taste , and she finds
shopping fun, so I let her take on the registry
duties, especially since she will be using the items
the most," explains Julian. The bride could not
agree more with her groom's reasoning. "I will
be the one using the pieces to set the table,
prepare meals for our familg and host dinner
parties," says Meredith. "Just like lulian always
says, 'happy wife, happy life."'
Meredith does admit to facing moments of
suess while organizing everything herself. "It's
a daunting task to be responsible for picking out
the right patterns and pieces that we will use in
our ljfe together," she declares. In order to make
the venture more comfortable, Meredith brought
along someone whom she rusted for guidance.
"My mom visited for a weekend and helped
me through the process. It was a great mother-
daughter wedding experience and it made
everything much easier knowing I had someone
I trusted by my side," she acknowledges.

experierlcr: 'orking in the hotcl ir-rdustl¡' inspired hirn to play as actr¡e
a role in planning âncl choreographing the e¡ent as the blide.
The clécor of the ccletnon)¡ was selected to cotnplement the
etlchanting garden sruirounclings. Tl-re bride's favolite flo'n'els -
dlangeas, peonies, and table roses ¡ere shol,cased in a classic colof

Guests next retreated to another corner of the garden rvhere plank wood
flooring and lanterns strung fi-olrr above transformed the space into a ¡cfined
alfresco dining room. Arrangements in floral valieties that flatterecl those
used in the ceremony ran the center of iong tables, tvhile silver candelabra
and glowing candles pro-"ided a romantic tor-rch.
Following a magnificent dinner, dre couple cut their delicious wedding
cake and listened to toasts presented in their honor. Aside from the
traditional first dances, celebrating was intended to occur after dinner, inside
the hotel. Ilowever, as it turned out, many attendees could not contain their
excitement. "There ,vas a greât in-rprornptu dance session outside under thc
stars during the final moments of the clinner," recalls the groom. "People
couldn't lesist stalting to dance during the dinner portion because the
music was so good," confirns the bride .
But there ,ere more surplises yet to cor-ne. A gland ballroom had been
transformed to look iike a hip, metropolitar.r nightclub complete r,vith high-
gloss black flooring, festive lighting, plush lor-rnge areas) an oversized bar,
and a prominent Holnvood Dl to spin tunes. Midnight snacks were servcd
to ellsure the party continued u'ell into the morning hours (which, indeed,
it di<l).
Affirming that there was not one aspcct of the day they lr'ould do
diffelendy, the elated newll'u'eds advise future brides and grooms to stay
tlue to their vision when planning their u'eddings, and to do their best to
avoid getting caught up in the details. Abovc all, the cor-rple feels an immense
amolrnt of gratitucle to the people who generously enabled them to enjo¡,
such a spectacular event. "Jake and I are so thar-rkftil for everyone who made
the day so special," gushes the blide. "Our fàmilies, our coordinatol, the
hotel staff, all of oul venclors, and of course, our guests!" ALISON BONN

To please his fashion-forward client,
designer Eddy Doumas used a classic
mountain house as a neutrâ1 backdrop
for an energetic color palette of jewel
tones. "The homeov¡ner strode onto the
construction site wearing Chanel boots,
and it was obvious she had an amazing
sense of style," says Doumas. 'We knew
we had to do something totally surprising." In the entry, a cognac
leather settee is accented with a raspberry-colored rug, a fuchsia
suede bench and jewelJike chandelier. Doumas notes that "these
colors are as far from the expected earth tones as you can get."

At age 65, Michel Richa¡d is
venturing into the competitive
New York restaurant scene.
By FLORENCE FABRICANT
Over more than three decades, Michel
Richard has risen to the highest ranks of
American chefs, with acclaimed restau-
rants in Los Angeles and Washington. But
as everyone in his business knows, making
a big debut in New York's tough, trend-
happy dining scene is something else en-
tirely
- especially when you're 65.
And he is not arriving on tiptoe: Pomme
Palais, his pastir5r shop and cafe, is set to
open this month at the New York Palace
hotel and two restaurarits in t¡e hotel will
follow. The prospect of starting anew here
at this stage in his career, he acknowl-
edged, is somewhat daunting.
'I'm not known in New York," he said in
an interview at a test kitchen in Harlem.
"Nobody's waiting for me here."

Geometric volumes of brushêd steel and matte rub-

a sense of movement between the elements,,' Van
Assche says. "Some even seem off balance, which
makes for â dynamic feeling, I guess it is th¡s feeling
I like the most." Van Assche adds thât the boutique's
location is particularly ideal. "The lstore] is around

57. BERi|ARDAUD, IUEW YORK
Julian Schnabel irst entered the art world in the late
1970s with h¡s plate paintings, large, riotous cân-
vases covered with fragments of shattered dishware.
The artists latest pieces in porcelain play a bit nicer
at the d¡nner table. Schnabel is one of 12 contempo-
rary artists-ãmong them Jeff Koons, Sophie Calle,
and Dav¡d Lynch-commissioned to design a sêt of
l¡mited-ed¡tion plateware for French Limoges porce-
lain manufacturer Bernardaud in celebration of the
brand's 15oth ann¡versary. Schnabe¡'s design, Ogni
angelo ha ¡l suo lato spavenfoso ("Every angel has ¡ts
terrifying side"), presents a dreamlike rendering of an
old build¡ng overlaid with muted primary colors, and
is meant to enhânce the often transportive experi-
ence of fine dining. The pieces are now available at
Bernardaud's new boutique, which recently opened in
Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood.- E.B.

45. Bernardaud, the French manufacturer whose
name is synonymous with fine Limoges
porcelain, honored its 150th anniversary this
year, not by touting its illustrious history but
by reaffirming its modern vision. The brand
selected 13 leading contemporary artists,
filmmakers, and photographers to design a
special collection of dinnerware, unveiling
the results in January at the French design
fair Maison et Objet, before rolling out the
pieces at new stores in Manhattan and Paris
this summer. Additional items were released
in the U.S. in October. “What better way to
look forward,” chairman Michel Bernardaud
says, “than through the eyes of today’s visual
artists, who have their finger on the pulse of
contemporary culture.”
Some of those commissioned, such as street
artist JR (with Prune Nourry) and filmmaker
David Lynch, are surprising choices whose
signature styles are transformed by the
porcelain medium. Others, like Jeff Koons,
have worked with the material before. Koons
emblazoned the likenesses of some of his
porcelain “Banality” sculptures, including
the notorious “Michael Jackson and Bubbles”
(1988), on Bernardaud cups. Of all the
visionary creators, perhaps the artist most
famously linked to dinnerware—or plates,
anyway—is Julian Schnabel, who has painted
for decades on surfaces covered with smashed
dishes.Hisrangeof(unbroken)platesandcups
for Bernardaud’s anniversary collection, titled
“Ogni angelo ha il suo lato spaventoso,” or
“Every Angel Has Its Terrifying Side,” features
hazy images of what appears to be a Mughal-
era fort in India. The series prompts viewers to
dream of distant places, Schnabel says, adding,
“It could also make your food look better.”
In celebration of its 150th
anniversary, the French
house Bernardaud asked 13
artists to make their marks
on its porcelain.

øS In recent years, I have had
áq the pleasure of viewing some
'ñ
of the most exquisite ciphers
È
embroidered on linen, engraved
Ttl,
on silver', and painted on china. I
È.å have studied the tentative stitching
";
of antique schoolgill samplers and
marveled at the intricacy of vintage
letterforms. And just as that young girl of long
ago was awestruckto discover her initials imprinted on a
leather purse, abeautiful monogram still stops me in my
tracks and makes me pause to study the details.
Mhy not establish your own monogram style?
Personalization was a labor of love or a gift of great
expense in times past. Today, we are fortunate that we
can obtain these items with ease. Neal and I have made
our home a personal haven by incorporating our cipher
into the décor, and my heart still skips a beat to see our
initials entwined. Like us, you might want to have more
than one monogram, depending upon the occasion or'
application. Whetheryourtastes lean toward elegant and
traditional, sleek and modern, or somewhere in between,
I encourage you to develop a monogram that expresses
your sryle in a manner that is uniquely you.
