For Eden Grinshpan, everyday cooking means saying yes to more shareable and delicious dishes, more veggies, and more fun in the kitchen. Discover how to create bold, fresh dishes that don’t take themselves too seriously when Wordfest showcases the Top Chef Canada host and her new cookbook, Tahini Baby: Bright, Everyday Recipes That Happen to Be Vegetarian. This event includes an audience Q & A and book signing, fuelled by Cookbook Co. Cooks. “It’s packed with the zestiest, most drool-worthy recipes; overflows with warmth; and overdelivers on her playful, signature style,” says Top Chef judge Gail Simmons. You can also pre-order Eden’s book here.
