What's in an egg?
Good Egg is a shop dedicated to those who like to eat.
We’re found in Toronto’s Kensington Market, a place we highly recommend you visit because it’s where you’ll find us.
Come by for a kid-in-a-candy-shop experience. You’ll be among books and things devoted to the art and culture of food, and some silly stuff too.
Art, eh? Consider this: if food, like sleep, is a basic human need, and we dream while we sleep, should we not dream while we eat? Good Egg thinks so.
We also think that given the many schools of thought on how we should eat, we’d opt to serve the whole hog. Our selection of books reflects every food philosophy.

Good Egg Guest Buyer
We’ve added a new section to Good Egg: a shelf or two’s worth of books, chosen by an outside expert. Pro Picks is the terrible name we came up with, and I swear it’s not even the worst one we thought of. For a few weeks, I wanted to call it Chef’s Showcase. Ah, gameshows. But it’s not about names…
The inaugural selection is on the shelves, and we’re really impressed with our first Pro Picker, David Haman’s choices. David is the owner and chef at Woodlot, our neighbourhood restaurant. It’s one of the best places to eat in Toronto, and lucky for us, just a few blocks away.
I asked David because I like the way he cooks – comforting, seasonal and interesting, but never weird. Also because he’s the guy I want to run into when I’m buying something new at the grocer’s. He instantly explains the best way to cook it, thoroughly and rapid-fire. And then he shrugs like it’s no big thing.
He makes cooking sound so easy. And it is! Come see what our expert recommends: these are the books that helped make a great chef.
