Today is the second episode of our miniseries in partnership with Destination Canada, where we shine a spotlight on some of our favorite Canadian chefs, creators, and culinary stars. Today’s guest is chef, cookbook author, TV host, entrepreneur, and mom Eden Grinshpan. Born and raised in Toronto, Eden has always brought joy, humor, and a love of big, bold flavors to everything she does. She chats with host Kerry Diamond about her Canadian upbringing shaping her approach to food, and how she became the host of “Top Chef Canada.” The new season premieres Tuesday, Oct. 14th, and Eden says telling the contestants to “pack their knives and go” doesn’t get any easier, even with multiple seasons under her belt. She also shares what makes two of the winners, Chefs Nicole Gomes and Erica Karbelnik, so special. With Canadian Thanksgiving less than a week away, Eden walks us through a few dishes from her new cookbook, “Tahini Baby,” that are perfect for the modern holiday table.
