What Top Chef Canada host Eden Grinshpan is coveting in home decor
Featuring stylish spice mills, a ’70s-inspired sofa and a sexy walnut-stained nightstand
Foodies have been entertained by Eden Grinshpan’s exceptional taste buds and quirky sense of humour for nearly 15 years. She sold her first show, Eden Eats, at age 23 and just kept going: hosting a show about food influencers, launching a fast-casual Middle Eastern restaurant in New York, judging several Food Network shows (including Chopped Canada) and publishing a cookbook, among other projects. She’s currently the host of Top Chef Canada, which is gearing up to shoot its 11th season. Those who don’t know Grinshpan from TV may recognize her from social media, where her 300,000 Instagram followers drool over the bold vegetable-forward dishes she whips up in her sun-drenched Toronto kitchen. Grinshpan and her husband, Ido, renovated their 1980s home in 2020, but they still spend weekends reorganizing and hunting for vintage pieces. Here’s what she’s got her eye on right now.
Stylish mills
Lifestyle brand Arjé sells outerwear, furniture and kitchen items inspired by the Mediterranean. These mills, by De Jong and Co., are handcrafted from walnut. “They’re works of art,” Grinshpan says.
Curved vase
Grinshpan’s interior designer, Montana Burnett, runs Salt by the Caza Project, a shop that sells furniture, lighting, and vintage and artisanal objects. This made-to-order piece has a hand-sanded porcelain exterior. “It has beautiful organic movement and would fit perfectly in our space.”
Checkered rug
Beni Rugs is headquartered in the Moroccan countryside, with 85 weavers using traditional techniques to craft rugs from natural wool. “I have a few rugs from this brand, which I discovered years ago. They’re plush and soft, and they make every room feel so cozy. The quality is unbeatable.”
’70s-inspired sofa
This sofa from Bettencourt Manor is upholstered in a gold chenille blend. “I’d love this for my office or bedroom. I like creating a loungey look at home, especially since we have young kids running around.”
Textured pitcher
Mima Ceramics is a line of tableware made by Toronto-based potter Michelle Organ. The exterior of this stoneware jug is enhanced by delicate etchings. “I think it’s so chic to bring out a beautiful pitcher of lemon or mint water when you’re entertaining. It makes the hosting experience better.”
Acacia nightstand
Bettencourt Manor has its own line of furnishings, which includes this walnut-stained table. “I love how rich this wood is. We’re redecorating our bedroom, and I want it to feel sexy. This piece would be perfect for that.”
Sculptural lamp
Sarah Nedovic is a Melbourne-based textile designer turned potter who makes ceramic home accessories like sconces, lamps and candlesticks. Her clay lamps come in a range of unusual, graceful forms. “We have her sconces in our kitchen, and they elevate the entire space.”
