FOOD & DRINK EDITOR
RAISE A GLASS TO GOOD FOOD & GOOD FRIENDS
With my business, HOP|SIP|SWIRL Tasting Tours, I have an opportunity to visit Island food and drink establishments, try out new beverages and indulge in some of the Island's best culinary delights. In my new role as the Food and Drink editor for PEI Living magazine, I'm excited to share all that's charming and delicious in the Island's culinary world. We'll explore the best places to eat, get to know the people behind your favourite food and drink, and discover the latest kitchen gadgets and recipes that will make entertaining a breeze. Summer in PEI is the season that gives Islanders an opportunity to see their home as visitors do—with its amazing restaurants, wineries and craft breweries that make it easy to understand why we're called Canada's Food Island. In this issue I'm taking some time to get back to the basics. We're welcoming a little nostalgia with a feature about
picnics: Island-style, where we visit local chefs and profile their take on the perfect picnic basket. We're heading down some country roads to try PEI's trendiest and tastiest gem, the haskap berry, sure to become an Island delicacy. Included in this issue are recipes, courtesy of Canada's Food Island, created from the Island's favourite food —lobster! We'll also celebrate both local wine and Maritime wine and everything you wanted to know about kombucha. In upcoming editions you can look forward to a new feature where I'll spotlight a local chef and their favourite recipe. To me, summer means road trips, so follow along, because I can't wait to spill the tea on everything local.
