Canada's Food Island

The Canada's Food Island website is more than just a digital cookbook; it's a vibrant community for culinary enthusiasts to explore, share, and celebrate the unique tastes of Prince Edward Island. Our team worked meticulously to create a platform that not only celebrates PEI's culinary heritage but also provides an engaging and interactive experience for food enthusiasts.

Canada’s Food Island is the Food Island Partnership’s home for everyone who grows, cooks and loves Prince Edward Island food. We designed and developed the platform around three ways to take part: Cook, with a searchable library of Island-made recipes; Explore, with inspiration for planning a culinary trip to PEI; and Create, with resources that help local food entrepreneurs grow their businesses. Built in English and French, the site gives the partnership one flexible place to publish recipes, stories and resources, and gives food lovers everywhere a taste of the Island.

The interactive recipe portal highlights the best recipes PEI has to offer. Main features include the ability for users to leave a rating, adjust ingredients by serving size, and a formatted print-out of the recipe.

Our smart search functionality transforms the way users explore the site. It allows for comprehensive searches across the website, encompassing titles, descriptions, categories, and tags. The real-time autocomplete feature provides immediate search results as users type, enhancing the browsing experience and making it easier to uncover hidden culinary gems.

Understanding the personal nature of cooking, we introduced a user-friendly account portal. Here, users can save their favourite recipes for future reference, submit their own creations, and leave ratings to share their culinary experiences. To streamline the login process, we integrated options for Facebook and Google sign-in, prioritizing convenience and ease of use.
