On a night where 'Toronto Food Bae's' got to fan girl, we had the pleasure of hosting Chef Bae for an inspiring and dynamic conversation on the future of food and her journey as a celebrity chef. Known for redefining modern food culture through her allergy-friendly, health-forward approach, Chef Bae has built a loyal community of nearly one million followers while shaping the way people think about accessible and nourishing cuisine.
Behind the scenes, Brooke has been the creative force behind major recipe innovations, including Starbucks’ iconic Egg Bites, along with work for brands like Nestlé, Panera Bread, Purely Elizabeth, and Freshly. Her influence extends beyond product development into the world of private dining, where she has cooked for a remarkable roster of clients including Adam Sandler, Kevin Hart, Paris Hilton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Emma Roberts, Mindy Kaling, the Kardashians, and Imagine Dragons. Through it all, she continues to bridge the gap between wellness, indulgence, and innovation—proving that food can be both functional and deeply enjoyable.

The conversation was expertly moderated by Eden Grinshpan, whose warmth, humor, and curiosity brought an engaging energy to the evening, adding to the rambunctious and playful vibe of Bae. A celebrated cook, author of Eating Out Loud and Tahini Baby, and television personality, Eden is known for her vibrant storytelling and genuine love of food. We couldn't have asked for a better duo on the LPTÂ stage as the two featured a live cooking demo with smash salmon tacos and Chef Bae's famous carrot cake.
Together, Chef Bae and Eden delivered an evening full of insight, laughter, and inspiration - leaving guests with a fresh perspective on what it means to shape the future of food.
