If you weren’t already a reality TV junkie, here’s an excuse to cross over to the dark (but very entertaining) side. Halifax’s very own Lauren Marshall—the chef de cuisine at enVie-a vegan kitchen (5775 Charles Street)— is one of 14 Canadian food wizards, and the only Nova Scotian, who’ll battle for the title of Top Chef in season four of Top Chef Canada.
Marshall has cooked her way from Belize to Australia to Montreal to Nantucket Island, she’s studied holistic nutrition, she teaches cooking classes and before killing the vegan creations at enVie she was making pizza magic at Morris East. Basically, she’s already a champ in our eyes.
Top Chef season four premieres March 10 on the Food Network, and they’re calling it the most extreme one yet. We can’t wait to see Lauren cook up a storm, tackle general kitchen bitchiness (get it girl) and hopefully, outsmart those other schmucks.

All the rave reviews on Lauren Marshall’s skills as a passionate, knowledgeable healthy chef are not an exaggeration. She has unique and original recipes and cooks with a flair with health in mind. She not only cooks but shares her knowledge of healthy cooking in healthy living retreats, cooking classes at the Superstores, and also teaches healthy cooking at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, among many other things, like starting her own business, Real Fake Meat, where she offers a pantry box of delicious flavourful assorted foods resembling meat and cheese, without the meat and dairy. We are so lucky to have Lauren expanding the plant-based cuisine in the Halifax area and beyond. Kudos to Lauren!
