When I started my cooking school more than 30 years ago, I wanted people to have more fun in the kitchen, eat more healthfully and nourish their families and friends with delicious food. That goal has never changed. My passion still is sharing my love of cooking. When people cook my recipes, I feel as if I’ve in some way become part of their family.

Bonnie Stern has been teaching people to have fun in the kitchen, to eat more healthfully and to nourish their families since she started her cooking school in 1973.
