As I write this, sitting outside on our back porch enjoying one of the first warm days of the season, I’m brimming over with excitement for this, our first anniversary issue. For the past year I’ve lived, breathed, and dreamed this magazine. Along with the PEI Living team and my co-publisher, Jacqui, we’ve put everything into making PEI Living reflect and explore the many facets of our Island. We’ve been so lucky to have so much support from our community, our readers, and the local businesses we feature within our pages. We’ve been able to mould the magazine to encompass, not only our vision, but also the vision you all have for us.

This issue we’ve given the magazine a slight face-lift- minimal changes reflecting the personality PEI Living has nurtured and developed over the past year. We’re elated to share our cover story, highlighting five of the most innovative chefs the Island has to offer. PEI delivers farm-to-table like few other places can, and with unique and creative menus, and the freshest local ingredients available, these chefs and their restaurants are truly pushing Island cuisine to new heights. In our Food & Drink section, we are featuring an interactive restaurant map, a who’s- who of local craft breweries, and tons of fun summer recipes. We’re also pleased to introduce interior designer, Susan Snow, of Moving Designz, to our creative team. We’re excited to share her unique design esthetic in future issues, as part of our growing Home & Cottage section. I’m also excited to be including a special section in this issue dedicated to fibre arts on the Island. As an enthusiastic (yet mediocre, at best) knitter, and rural homesteader, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to sit down with these inspiring business owners- discussing everything from sustainable farming to the art of hand-dyeing yarn. This issue is so jam-packed with what I consider to be the epitome of Island summers: delicious food and drink, fun day-trips, natural beauty, and unique experiences. There’s so much to see and do here, and so much to be proud of as an Islander. So pour yourself a cold brew coffee, pull up a deck chair, put your feet up, and enjoy the sunshine we’ve worked so hard for all year. And thanks so much for being here for us: This first year has been an absolute dream come true.
