change in season seems to

A coincide with new starts . Fall naturally brings a beginning of classes , lessons , good intentions and optimism . It is a season that we seek order to our lives .

It is the perfect time for Ciao !’ s annual reveal of Kitchen Design Competition presented by Assiniboine Credit Union featuring an eight-page photo layout dedicated to organization . Modern materials and technologies are combined with smart storage solutions , and the results are spectacular . The grand prize winner will enjoy a gourmet meal for six prepared in the new kitchen by Chef Gord Harris of Tapastry .
Annually this kitchen competition leaves us inspired , and motivated to begin our personal reno projects . A select list of the best kitchen suppliers in the city has been provided as a resource to get you started too . The professionals at these retailers are sure to make the creative process rewarding .
We continue this theme of orderly conduct housed within a beautiful space by visiting 529 Wellington , the city ’ s favourite stately steakhouse . Ciao ! goes in the kitchen with chef Fraser MacLeod to learn the secrets of its winning status ( and sauces ). This story reinforces the fact that discipline , repetition and consistency are always the cornerstones of excellence .
