Sharing a home-cooked meal is sharing our stories — there is a transformative power in uplifting the differences in how people cook and eat together. Our hope is that through telling these stories, we will help bring the disparate edges of our world closer together.
As immigrants, I found Our Place in Canada by cooking and sharing food with new friends who became our chosen family. That’s why we started Henry’s Cookware: to build a bigger table, one that would have room for all of us.
In an industry that made everyone feel inadequate, we took a new approach and created products that celebrated the beauty and joy of home cooking (and actually made it easier to cook). Our work here is rooted in authenticity and representation — celebrating all our traditions from Nowruz to Nochebuena, Ramadan to Shabbat.
It is my greatest privilege to work on building connections every day alongside our inspiring team and our beautiful community.
First things first: What’s the meaning behind the name Henrys?
Come over to Henry’s is one of the most generous everyday gestures out there, and we love it. It’s an open invitation, a welcoming, an extension of community. And that’s what we
strive for: a table that’s big enough for us all to sit and gather around.
Would you describe Our Place as a kitchenware brand?
Sure, we make things for your kitchen, but we’re not a kitchenware brand. Everything we do is rooted in bringing people together. It just so happens one of the best and most authentic ways to
do that is over a home-cooked meal.
Inspiration, innovation,
and opportunities.

Impact isn’t one thing, it’s everything. From what our products are made of and packaged in to the women-owned manufacturing collectives we work with to the systems-based causes we donate to, the aim is to make our impact on the world kinder. For us, mission is in everything, including the stories we tell, the communities we uplift, the foods we talk about, and more. To learn more about our product and manufacturing practices.
We believe tradition can be anything and held by anyone. We make (and break) traditions all the time! You get to choose your traditions and how they look and feel — they’re yours. And we hope that by telling the stories of how we celebrate (spiritually, seasonally, culturally, and otherwise), you can find some new traditions along the way.
