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.
