Good Egg is a good thing hatching in Kensington market. I swear I cannot go into this store without buying a cookbook or some other knick knack related to food and cooking. It's like I have to make a pit stop here everytime when I'm finished with my grocery shopping in the market!
Their selection of cookbooks and other food related books is extensive and the layout is designed well so you can find books according to cuisine, audience etc. I have found some really great non-fiction food books here that would have taken some time to find at the big box book store. Plus they have other unique and quirky kitchen items that would be hard to find elsewhere. I am especially a fan of their printed tea cloths, where else could you find Marimekko prints downtown? The staff are very friendly here and also put extra care into gift wrapping if you are purchasing a gift for a friend.
