Ciao ! magazine ’ s annual Good
Food Manitoba Awards for producer , retailer and restaurant of the year celebrate the creative promotion and use of local ingredients . While the world is seeing a growing segment of businesses paying lip service to the philosophy of supporting local , a smaller dedicated group set their standards high . This year ’ s recipients will not disappoint ciao ! hounds who eagerly sniff out good food from every corner of our city !
Ciao ! has been a fan of La Cocina chips from the first delicately light and crunchy bite . For its impressive product and continued growth , La Cocina is our pick for Producer of the Year . As an innovator of gluten-free baked goods , and for recognizing an underserved niche , Cococabeans Bakeshop has earned Retailer of the Year . Lastly , with much admiration , we recognize Nuburger as Restaurant of the Year . This fabulous burger concept has shown Winnipeg that feeling good after scarfing down a burger and fries is entirely possible .
August marks a second official month of summer and ushers in the most anticipated season for foodies : harvest time ! We are all enjoying garden fresh produce , and ciao ! cooks showcases recipes that offer variety for feasting on corn . As you taste your way through the recipes shared by Chef Melissa Hryb of Marion Street Eatery and Jesse Lemus of Mercadito Latino , it will become clear that Manitoba regional cuisine continues to be a stunning reflection of the creative people and top notch ingredients in our province .
