Magazine professionals love creating magazines around themes . In the case of Ciao ! magazine , chocolate , travel and holiday shopping have been regular annual issues designed to inspire indulgence in local treats and prompt exploration .
This green issue led us to unexpected discoveries which expanded the scope of the editorial package . Looking at our community through a green lens began with tasting all sorts of vegetable dishes served at Winnipeg ’ s restaurants ( naturally ). The results of our tour of Winnipeg ’ s green dishes can be found in ciao ! tastes and recipes for some of our favourite vegcentric dishes are inthekitchen .
Because green spaces have meant more to us this year than ever before , this publication recognizes piqued interest in gardening and provides pro tips for herbs from growers and chefs in ciao ! gardens . For exciting insight into an innovative Manitoba company growing microgreens yearround , see foodsources .
Look to the ecociao ! features for ways to live greener in our city . Eating and buying locally produced products always tops the list . Be green , buy green spotlights items made in Manitoba in sustainable ways . Taking on the environmental crisis admittedly seems like a mammoth undertaking , so how to live green outlines some easy ideas to get started . Focus on one or two new practices that you can build into a habit .
