Eden Grinshpan, Tahini Baby

Saturday, April 26, 2025, 11:00 am - 11:45 am

Stop by the Foodwise Classroom for a cooking demo featuring the seasonal bounty of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. This month, we’re showcasing Greens of Spring as part of our Seasonal Spotlight program.

Eden Grinshpan is the author of the cookbook Eating Out Loud, a TV food personality, and the creator of the online platform Eden Eats. Her newest cookbook is Tahini Baby: Bright, Everyday Recipes That Happen to Be Vegetarian. Known for her relatability, raw sincerity, goofiness, and big, bold veg-forward cooking, Grinshpan earned her culinary degree at Le Cordon Bleu in London and subsequently traveled and ate her way across Europe, India, Southeast Asia, and of course Israel, where she spent summers growing up. This exploration resulted in her culinary travel show for the Cooking Channel, Eden Eats, which she produced and hosted. She then went on to host television shows such as “Log On & Eat with Eden Grinshpan” and “Top Chef Canada.” Grinshpan splits her time between Toronto and New York with her husband, Ido, and their two daughters, Ayv and Romi.

All demos take place in the Foodwise Classroom (under the tents in front of the Ferry Building) and are free to the public, with recipes and samples for all.

The demo will be followed by a book signing with book sales courtesy of Book Passage.
