SEEKING FRESH AND SUPPORTING LOCAL
It’s a new year and time for some new beginnings. This year, like many of you, I will focus on my health and wellness. The pandemic has put many things into perspective for my family, and especially for myself. I’m starting with cutting back on unnecessary things by making room for, and enjoying the more meaningful ones. We’ve always supported community agriculture programs and food cooperatives as well as farm stands and, over the holidays we found time to go and visit the Charlottetown Farmers’ Market. We already support many of the market vendors, but, we found new ones and deeply appreciate that we have access to a local cooperative. Supporting local helps build communities, especially when you buy direct from a farmer, fisher or artisan. I can assure you locally grown food taste better and is better for you!
Also, as part of our new family trend, we’ve made it our mission to try something local and new every week. I hereby challenge my readers to do the same, let me know what you’ve found. In this issue you can follow along on my trendy adventure, starting with my Food Finds. And, in honour of International Women’s Day, and women in business I’m excited to introduce you to well- known chef Ilona Daniels in our local “Chef Spotlight” featuring. We’ll continue to sip our way through these pages with what’s trending in the world of wine and beyond. Next issue, we’ll be heading into summer with a promise of fresh seafood, cocktails, and I’m on a quest to find the best fish cakes!
