Eritrea-born Naza Hasebeneb is the visionary founder of CHIC PEAS VEG—a plant-based vegan haven
offering an array of culinary delights and educational experiences. With over two decades
dedicated to embracing and championing a plant-based lifestyle, Naza's passion for wholesome,
flavorful and delicious cuisine knows no bounds.
At CHIC PEAS VEG, Naza's creativity flourishes, manifesting in a diverse range of offerings
including catering, pop-up brunches and cooking classes catering to individuals, groups, and
even corporate events across Toronto and its environs.
Her culinary journey began with a traditional approach to cooking, eschewing recipes in favor of
intuition—a philosophy rooted in the simple mantra of "add a little of this and a little of that." This
artistic freedom sparked Naza's lifelong love affair with food and laid the foundation for her
innovative culinary creations.
A true culinary artist, Naza delights in sharing her expertise with others. She is driven by a
profound desire to empower individuals to create delicious vegan meals and snacks while
exploring the vibrant tapestry of herbs, spices, and recipes from around the world. Through her
cooking classes and interactive demonstrations, Naza invites participants to embark on a
sensory journey, awakening their palates to the endless possibilities of plant-based cuisine.
Visit Naza and her team every Saturday at The Stop Farmers Market at Wychwood Barnes  and enjoy their delicious Eritrean/Ethiopian packaged stews, soups, spices, salads, fresh injera, baked goods and much more. 

Look out for Naza (CHIC PEAS VEG) at local festivals showcasing her culinary
prowess and contagious passion for plant-based living.   Prepare to be inspired, educated, and tantalized as Naza
unveils the secrets behind crafting delicious vegan dishes that celebrate the beauty and
