You'll have a hard time finding someone in Canada who knows how to work with vegetables better than Halifax chef Lauren Marshall. After spending years in traditional kitchens in the United States, Australia and Canada's East Coast, competing on Top Chef Canada Season 4 and opening one of Canada's premier vegan eateries, enVie, Marshall now runs her own company, Coastal Healing. Blending wellness with delicious plant-based cooking courses, the chef is bringing a whole new level of tasty and healthy foods to the Canadian table.
