ciao! / oct/nov / two thousand nineteen
ood, fashion and home are
topics we love, and this issue
features all three. Each of these
things is enjoyed for its creativity
and provides an opportunity to
bring beauty to our lives. This
magazine was so exciting for us
to produce. Putting it together
reinforced what amazing and
imaginative people we have
living in this city!
It’s always fun to be first
on the scene to see what
interpretations have come into
the local stores representing
the Fall 2019 runway looks. The
variety and colour of animal
prints out there this year are
terrific and add
even more playfulness to this
recurring fashion theme. Ciao!
fashion showcases the editors’
picks found around town. We
know even more “wild” looks
have arrived in shops now.
Look to ciao! home for
our annual Ciao! Kitchen
Design Competition
presented by Steinbach
Credit Union in an eight-
page feature revealing
that creativity shines
in homes all over
the city. Styles and
square footage vary
but all the winners
have executed
beautiful spaces that
mix modern materials and new
technology. The grand prize
winner will enjoy a gourmet
meal prepared in the new kitchen
by Chef Sean McGillivray of
InFerno’s Bistro.
Annually, this kitchen feature
leaves us inspired and motivated
to begin personal reno projects.
If it strikes you similarly, a list of
our favourite Kitchen Suppliers
in the city has been provided as a
resource to get you started. The
professionals at these retailers are
sure to make the creative process
rewarding and fun.
Speaking of styles and square
footage, a visit inthekitchen
with Chef Dustin Pajak at Close
Company gives us a glimpse of
honed efficiency in a tiny space.
Chef Dustin shows us how it’s done,
not letting limited counter space,
one burner and a tiny oven keep
him from turning out delicious
food. But, before you feel too
bad about using your small
kitchen as an excuse for not
turning out remarkable
dishes, remember Chef
Dustin is a trained
professional. And we
don’t judge.
Last bite has
proven to be one of
our best additions
to Ciao! It gives me
the opportunity to
talk to fascinating and
influential people –
someone who simply
makes the city better.
Anyone who knows
Kenny Boyce will attest to
his effervescent personality
and unwavering positivity.
