April marks the launch of another annual promotion at Ciao! This is the time of year that we’ re looking for the best kitchen in the city! With television cooking and home makeover shows continuing to inspire us to eat better and live in beautiful spaces, desire to build swanky kitchens is on the rise. From now until June 30, we are accepting submissions for the best designed kitchen. You can look at past winners on our website, ciaowinnipeg. com where you can also enter the competition. In partnership with Steinbach Credit Union, the top newly renovated kitchens are showcased on a multiple page photo spread in the Oct / Nov issue and the grand prize winner will be treated to dinner! We have lined up Chef Fabrizio Rossi of Nicolino’ s to host and cook a dinner party for six in that new kitchen. If you are raving about your recent renovations, then this contest is for you! By fall, you could have one of Winnipeg’ s best chefs cooking for you in it!
Of course, it doesn’ t stop there. Ciao! fashion navigates the season’ s mixed prints, and ciao! cooks offers bougie bites to start the day. Enjoy this delicious read!
