Bonshaw Breezes B&B, 2009 Taste Our Island Award Finalist 11/12/2009     View Photos     The Taste Our Island Awards, sponsored annually by the PEI A.D.A.P.T. Council, go to chefs who use and promote Island agricultural products in unique and creative ways. This year the awards ceremony was the highlight of the ‘Roving Feast’’, a signature event of the P.E.I. Fall Flavours Festival. P.E.I.’s food ambassador, chef Michael Smith presented the awards during a ceremony that highlighted both the A.D.A.P.T. Council’s contribution to agricultural innovation and the importance of local foods to the Island’s stature as a culinary destination – second to none. The council awards one winner and four finalists annually, for their dedication to using and promoting products grown in PEI, in their restaurants. Finalists this year included Bonshaw Breezes B&B. Status as a winner or as finalists of the Taste Our Island Award indicates to restaurant-goers that they are about to eat a meal made from mainly PEI ingredients. “The Roving Feast and the Taste Our Island Award demonstrates what is possible when chefs and producers are inspired to work together”, said Elmer MacDonald, chair of the council. “The creation of this award was inspired by this shared vision.” Posted by: PEIBWA
