The Tuscan KiTchen

The Tuscan Kitchen: The words alone suggest a warm, inviting home, tastefully decorated with a

wooden table, richly-coloured Italian ma-jolica and quality tabletop items, all creating the perfect atmosphere for a fine, hearty meal with family and friends.In Victoria, that vision becomes reality at The Tuscan Kitchen, open seven days a week on View Street at Broad, just outside The Bay Centre’s View Street entrance. It’s Victoria’s source for majolica, earthenware that is fired once, coated in a tin oxide glaze that accepts mineral pigments that are applied like paint, then fired again. This second firing causes the mineral pigments to oxidize and change colours and the glaze to take on a translucent quality giving the piece unparalleled depth.

“It’s this depth of colours, the turquoise blue and green, that makes Italian majolica stand out,” says Mauro Schelini, who came to Canada from Italy 40 years ago and to-day owns The Tuscan Kitchen with his wife, Gerri. “It’s like looking at a deep river or the ocean. When you come in, your eye will be drawn to that first.”The Tuscan Kitchen has hundreds of pieces

of majolica in dozens of patterns, many of them unique. There are bright, bold patterns typical of the Italian town of De-ruta, and other charmingly sophisticated ceramics from Tuscany and Umbria. “Making majolica is still a family business in Italy,” Mauro says. “We travel there every year, so we can work with our pro-ducers, and make special requests on co-lours and patterns. We can take elements of different pieces and put them together in new designs.” Their passion for Italian artistry is illus-trated by the Ars Romana© photograph-ic images which grace the shop’s walls.Beyond ceramics and art, The Tuscan

Kitchen carries elegant everyday tableware from Vietri, colourful Italian flatware from Bugatti, beautiful French and Rus-sian table and kitchen linens. You’ll find gourmet foods from around the Mediter-ranean, professional culinary tools, and knives from MAC, Shun and Messer-meister. Directly from the Silga factory in Italy we are proud to offer one of the world’s top lines of stainless steel cook-ware. From Germany, the Rösle “open kitchen” system of stainless steel rails and tools at home in great kitchens everywhere. From France the prestigious Staub line of enamelled cast iron cookware which moves beautifully from the stove to your table.“Our customers have sophisticated taste, and they’re thrilled when they find us be-cause, for many products, we are the only

Victoria’s Source for Majolica

ones in Victoria importing directly from Italy,” says Mauro.The sophistication shows in The Tuscan Kitchen’s selection of truffle products, aged balsamic vinegars, extra virgin estate olive oils and other culinary treasures from dif-ferent regions of Italy.“We love the products, the food and the cooking.” says Gerri. “Everybody seems to share an interest in the home and in the table because that is the heart of the home. Simple foods, well cooked and well pre-sented. People want beauty, function and quality without being formal, and that’s what we offer.”

tahlequah >> point defiance

Though it connects Vashon Island with

Tacoma, the Point Defiance ferry dock

is actually in the small town of Ruston,

once the home of a large smelting

plant whose grounds are

now being converted to

parks and multiple-use

development. Just up the

hill from the dock, the

Antique Sandwich Shop

(5102 N. Pearl St.) is a

long-time popular lunch spot for ferry

travelers, best-known for its black bean

burritos. Across the street, the Jungle Fever Exotics (5050 N. Pearl) nursery

offers palms and other tropical plants

many people are unaware can be grown

in Puget Sound.

Owen Beach, adjacent to the ferry

landing, is a long stretch of log-strewn

sand popular for beachcombing. It’s

part of 702-acre Point Defiance Park,

which occupies the northwest end of its

namesake peninsula, and holds one of

the largest remaining old-growth forests

in lowland Puget Sound. Five Mile Drive

winds through the park woods and

park attractions, including a Botanical Gardens complex whose dahlia beds

are among the most extensive in North

America. The park’s annual Christmas

lights display in December

is one of Washington State’s

largest.

Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium (5400 N. Pearl) is a

compact zoological institution

known for its polar bears, sea

otters, walrus, puffins and other north

Pacific denizens. The zoo also has rare red

wolves in a natural outdoor environment

and clouded leopards; two leopard cubs

are new additions this year.

Farther along Five Mile Drive, Fort Nisqually is a reconstruction of a historic

frontier outpost where living history

enactors portray pioneer settlers, soldiers

and other early Northwest inhabitants.

Several miles south of Point Defiance,

Chambers Bay Golf Course (www.

chambersbaygolf.com) is a high-profile,

newer, links-style course hosting several

prominent tournaments over the next

couple of years.

Ferries at the Tahlequah terminal, at the southern tip of Vashon, connect with Point Defiance, near Tacoma. The crossing takes 15 minutes.

Point Defiance/Ruston

City of DestinyOnce the most prosperous and

largest city on Puget Sound,

Tacoma’s history is highlighted by

the 1900 founding of Weyerhaeuser

Corporation, when Frederick

Weyerhaeuser bought hundreds of

thousands of acres of Northwest

timberland by signing what

was then the largest check ever

written—$1 million. Tacomans enjoy

the city’s quiet, historic residential

neighborhoods, and frequent views

of nearby Mount Rainier—which

residents say is “their” mountain, not

Seattle’s. The Tacoma Dome, one of

the world’s largest wooden domed

arenas, hosts numerous concerts and

athletic events.

Though Seattle eventually outgrew

the “City of Destiny,” it remains a

shipping and forest-products center

that has carved out a new, 21st

century identity with its downtown

Museum District.

Here, within blocks of each other

along Pacific Avenue, are the

Museum of Glass (1801 Dock St.)

and the Tacoma Art Museum (1701

Pacific Ave.), both featuring works

by Tacoma native Dale Chihuly;

the Washington State History

Museum (1911 Pacific Ave.); and

historic Union Station (1717 Pacific

Ave.), a beautifully restored 1911

masterpiece of Beaux Arts design,

featuring a huge, copper-domed

rotunda. The building now houses

federal courts. Across the street,

shops, cafes and galleries reflect the

resurgence of downtown Tacoma.

Tacoma’s striking Museum of Glass features a Hot Shop glass-blowing studio.

Seattle For a progressive, innovative metropolis,

Seattle has an easygoing vibe often

ascribed to its spectacular setting,

surrounded by mountains, lakes and

the gorgeous inland waterways of Puget

Sound. Once known primarily as a center

for aircraft manufacturing, with Boeing

located here, Seattle today has a diverse

economy fueled by software, biotech and

Internet companies, including giants

Microsoft and Amazon. It’s also fueled by

coffee—Starbucks got its start here, with

the original location in the city’s Pike

Place Market.

Just below the famous hillside

market, Seattle’s waterfront has always

been a catalyst for the city. In 1897 the

first Gold Rush ship docked on Seattle’s

waterfront, putting the city on the

map. Decades later, in 1962, the Seattle

World’s Fair put Seattle on the map

internationally, bringing with it a lasting

legacy of arts and culture.

The Emerald City has a lively

cultural scene today with a wide range

of top-notch museums, performing-arts

venues downtown and at the Seattle

Center, and scores of galleries in Pioneer

Square and other neighborhoods. When

Seattleites aren’t exploring the arts or

enjoying festivals, they’re enjoying the

out-of-doors—kayaking on Lake Union,

hiking in the city’s parks or nearby

mountains, biking on the Burke Gilman

Trail or sailing on Puget Sound.

WaterFront WalkSeattle’s waterfront bustles year-round

with visitors and locals alike strolling

its broad promenade, watching massive

container vessels cruise past and ferries

slipping in and out of the Seattle ferry

terminal at Pier 52.

Next to Coleman Dock at Pier 54,

Ivar’s Acres of Clams, founded by Seattle

impressario Ivar Haglund, is a Seattle

institution known for its fish-and-chips.

Farther north, at Pier 56, Argosy Cruises

(www.argosycruises.com) features Puget

Sound and Lake Washington cruises,

as well as a sailing to nearby Tillicum Village, on Blake Island, for a Northwest

Native-inspired dinner and performance.

Miners Landing, at Pier 57, teems

with excited kids year-round, with arcade

games and an indoor carousel and,

beginning this summer, a 175-foot-tall

Ferris wheel that will offer birds-eye

views of the waterfront.

Between piers 57 and 59, Waterfront Park offers additional views of the

waterfront and downtown from atop

two viewing platforms, and a fountain

sprays a welcome mist on strollers in hot

summer weather.

At Pier 59, the Seattle Aquarium,

one of the largest aquariums in the

nation, showcases marine life from the

Northwest and beyond, including slinky

sea otters and evanescent seahorses; the

aquarium’s Underwater Dome surrounds

visitors with Puget Sound sea life.

Anthony’s Fish Bar offers carryout

seafood at Pier 66; many diners enjoy

their meals outdoors overlooking the

Bell Harbor Marina. Just beyond, Myrtle Edwards Park is a 1.25-mile shoreline

park with grassy meadows and a

small sand beach, as well as bike and

pedestrian trails. Near the entrance to

the park, a sloping path leads upward

to the landscaped terraces of the free,

outdoor Olympic Sculpture Park, known

for the grandeur of its views across Puget

Sound to the Olympics as much as for its

collection of contemporary artworks by

international artists.

Ferry service between Seattle and Bainbridge Island connects islanders, Olympic Peninsula residents and other visitors with the city of Seattle; the westward route serves as a passageway to Kitsap Peninsula and points beyond. This is the system’s most heavily traveled route, carrying more than 6 million ferry passengers annually. The crossing takes approximately 35 minutes.

A Pike Place Market icon—a neon coffee cup—glows at sunset.

SeaFood and FloWerS at the pike place MarketAcross from the Seattle Aquarium, stairs

climb the steep hillside to the city’s

venerable Pike Place Market, one of the

oldest continually operating markets in

the nation. A lively mix of farmers, flower

growers, fishmongers and craftspeople

peddle their wares here in historic

wooden covered arcades, while buskers

play on nearly every corner. The market

is much more than

a tourist attraction;

Seattleites shop here,

too, alongside tourists

from countries around

the world. Beneath

the main arcade,

stairs lead to several

levels with a maze

of tiny shops selling

everything from

antiques to comic books to imports.

The market is an ideal spot to sample

regional foods, with booths selling local

preserves, cheeses, smoked salmon and

many other snack items. One of the most-

popular snack stops is the Daily Dozen Doughnut Co., where you can watch a

conveyor belt lifting miniature doughnuts

out of hot oil. Another great gawking

opportunity can be found at Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, where workers churn

fresh cream in immense vats viewable

through street-side windows.

Several of the city’s best restaurants

can be found in or near the market:

Famed Northwest chef Tom Douglas’

Etta’s Seafood (2020 Western Ave.)

overlooks scenic Victor Steinbrueck Park.

The Pink Door (1919 Post Alley) features

Northern Italian fare served on a view

deck overlooking Elliott Bay, and Chez Shea (94 Pike St.) is a peerless French

restaurant with a seasonal, local-foods

menu.

doWntoWn ShoppingWestlake Center (400 Pine St.), a glass-

fronted multilevel shopping mall,

anchors the pedestrian Westlake Park

in downtown Seattle, surrounded by a

thriving retail district. Macy’s (1601 Third

Ave.) and Nordstrom (500 Pine St.), the

upscale chain’s flagship store, as well as

scads of national-brand stores can be

found in the surrounding blocks. Upscale

shoppers head to ritzy 5th Avenue, which

is lined with couture fashion shops;

it’s also the home of the venerable 5th Avenue Theatre (1308 Fifth Ave), which

produces live musicals inside a vintage

jewel box of a theater with an intricate

Chinese motif.

The acclaimed Seattle Art Museum

(1300 First Ave.),

featuring Northwest and

international artworks in

a contemporary building,

and Benaroya Hall (200

University St.), home of

the Seattle Symphony,

face each other across

Second Avenue. Across

from Benaroya The Triple Door (216 Union St.) is

a top-notch music venue that books

national touring acts.

BreWS and nightliFe in BelltoWnJust north of the Pike Place Market,

Belltown boasts one of the city’s trendiest

club and nightlife scenes. On summer

evenings, especially, throngs of revelers

leave their downtown jobs behind to

savor fruits of the vine in intimate wine

bars, dine in trendy restaurants or rock

out in music venues.

Belltown has an extraordinary

number of eateries, including Tom

Douglas’ Contemporary American

restaurant the Dahlia Lounge (2001

Fourth Ave.); acclaimed chef Ethan

Stowell’s aria to Italian food, Tavolata

(2323 Second Ave.); Shiro’s sushi

bar (2401 Second Ave.); and the New

American cuisine spot Spur Gastropub

(113 Blanchard St.).

Music lovers flock to Belltown’s

live-music venues, which range from

the classy Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley (www.

jazzalley.com), the epicenter of Seattle’s

jazz and blues scene, to The Crocodile

(2200 Second Ave.)—the historic home

base of many music startups, including

Nirvana, Pearl Jam and R.E.M.—for hip-

hop, punk, electronica and more.

milesTOnes Of aviaTiOn aT THe museum Of fligHT The Museum of Flight (www.museumofflight.

org), on East Marginal Way South, 9 miles south

of downtown, is one of the largest air-and-space

museums in the nation. This massive, airy complex

holds more than 150 historically significant air- and

spacecraft, including the Concorde, one of only 20

built, and the Blackbird, one of the fastest planes

ever built, with a speed of more than Mach 3.

Exciting interactive exhibits detail the history

of aviation, including Boeing’s original Red Barn,

where the company’s first planes were built a

century ago. The Personal Courage Wing highlights

the role of fighters during WWII and the valiant

men who flew them, as well as the hard-working

women who built them.

The Museum recently opened the Charles Simonyi

Space Gallery with the Soyuz TMA-14 spacecraft

as its centerpiece. NASA’s Full Fuselage Trainer is

slated to arrive this summer, and an accompanying

exhibit will detail the rigors of training required to

prepare astronauts for spaceflight.

Sensational Seafair Seafair (www.seafair.com), a multi-layered

summertime cultural and arts festival

that takes place in neighborhoods across

the city, reaches its apex at the Seafair

Torchlight Parade (July 28) and the Albert

Lee Cup hydroplane races and Boeing Air

Show (Aug. 3-5). The festival encompasses

dozens of entertaining events, including a

Milk Carton Derby (July 14) at Green Lake,

5 miles north of downtown, Fleet Week

(Aug. 1-5), and numerous ethnic parades

and celebrations.

against emerald forests as they cruise

past. On the northeastern edge, Fay Bainbridge State Park has log-strewn

sand beaches with the skyline of Seattle

in the distance.

With salt-air breezes and miles

of rolling country roads, Bainbridge

is beloved by outdoors enthusiasts,

especially bikers, who flock aboard the

Seattle-Bainbridge ferry year-round.

Classic Cycle (740 Winslow Way NE)

rents bikes and provides island biking

maps.

Exotic Aquatics Scuba and Kayaking (146 Winslow Way W) and Back of Beyond Explorations (181 Winslow

Way) offer kayak rentals and guided

tours of the island’s wildlife-rich bays,

and Eagle Harbor Electric Boat Rentals

(www.theeagleharborinn.com) features

canopied wooden boats

ideal for ogling spectacular

waterfront homes.

Bainbridge Island’s

downtown is a magnet for

shoppers, with boutiques

selling women’s and chil-

dren’s fashions, home décor,

art and jewelry. Bainbridge Arts & Crafts (151 Winslow

Way E) is a cooperative

gallery with works by West

Coast artists.

For a small island,

Bainbridge boasts a lot

of wineries; seven can be

found throughout the is-

land. Three—Amelia Wynn,

Fletcher Bay and Victor Alex-

ander—offer samples of their

handcrafted, premium wines in the

cozy Island Vintners (450 Winslow Way

E) tasting room, downtown; to fashion

your own wine trail, check out www.

bainbridgewineries.com. The island is

also home to a craft distillery and a

brewery: Bainbridge Organic Distillers

(www.bainbridgedistillers.com) creates

small-batch whiskey, gin and vodka,

and offers tastings and tours; and

Bainbridge Island Brewing (www.bain-

bridgebeer.com), a new microbrewery,

will open a taproom this summer.

Bainbridge Island has become a

culinary hub, drawing diners

from Seattle and farther afield

to restaurants specializing in

local foods. Among the best

are acclaimed Northwest chef

Greg Atkinson’s newly opened

Restaurant Marché (150

Madrone Lane), a contempo-

rary Northwest bistro using

foods from island farms; and

Four Swallows (481 Madison

Ave. N), featuring fresh, local

seafood in a charming historic

home.

Blackbird Bakery (210

Winslow Way E) always has

a lineup for homespun pies

and tarts, pastries and coffee

cakes, and Mora Iced Cream-ery (139 Madrone Lane) spe-

cializes in premium frozen concoctions

made with natural ingredients; their

blueberry ice-cream bursts with whole

berries.

While downtown Bainbridge has

many charms and activities to keep visi-

tors busy, travelers who are interested

in exploring farther afield can take an

excursion on a Kitsap Tours (www.kitsap-

tours.com) bus, which picks them up in

downtown Bainbridge, and embarks on

history, shopping and dining tours of the

island and the Kitsap Peninsula, or the

Olympic Peninsula.

The pond at Bloedel Reserve is a serene

setting amid woods and gardens.

Before modern ferries and

interior roads, the only

way to get to and around

Bainbridge Island was

via water. The island was

served by dozens of small

steamships that carried

passengers and freight

between landings where

communities formed and

grew. The 10-mile-long

island had an astonishing

30 steamship landings.

Island residents could

discern the differences

among captains’ whistles,

hustling down to the dock

to catch the requisite

steamer.
