FOOD & DRINK EDITOR
OH, HELLO SUMMER.
Summer is here, and it brings out the best of the season! Which for me is seafood, warm sand between my toes, and a good gin and tonic. So far, it looks like we’ve broken heat records here on PEI this month. The grills have been pulled out, we’re frantically trying to find the appropriate summer cocktail to have as our go-to, and the ice cream is getting scooped a little bit earlier this year. Things are looking up for 2021. This past year has been the year of take-out all over the country. In PEI, things are no different. We learned you can freeze and reheat ramen successfully, charcuterie is all the rage and canned cocktails are where it’s at! We know you really can create and do food and drink just about anywhere, including beaches, trails, at home, even in your car, though I highly recommend a park bench instead. This summer, my family has pledged to eat outside for at
least half of our meals. Cocktails and coffee included!
In this issue, I’ll introduce you to a young aspiring chef, as well as the world of mead, and head to Kent Street Market to discover the best of PEI. There are so many places we want to visit this summer. Luckily, this is PEI, and most people are living on Island time. We’ll be there when we get there. Be sure to get out and enjoy the patios in Victoria by the Sea, the view from the Wheelhouse in Georgetown, or sip a glass of pinot on the many waterfront decks in Summerside! The Island awaits! Next issue, we’re going to dive deep into the world of oysters, introduce you to one of 2021 Fall Flavours’ featured chefs and share some warm cocktail recipes for those cool evenings.
