Chef of Merit: Chef Bonnie Stern


Bonnie Stern is the author of twelve best selling cook books, has hosted two national television shows including host of Food Network Canada. She writes a weekly column for the National Post, and her 2004 cook book “Essentials of Home Cooking” won a coveted International Association of Culinary Professionals Cookbook Award for Best General Cookbook.

She started her cooking school in 1973, her goal? For people to have more fun in the kitchen while eating healthy AND scrumptious food.

The Bonnie Stern School of Cooking and Cookware Shop is located in Toronto, Ontario, and has hosted world-class chefs as John Ash, Rick Bayless, Michael Bonacini, Giuliano Bugialli, Biba Caggiano, Jim Dodge, Marcella Hazan, Madhur Jaffrey, Madeleine Kamman, Diana Kennedy, Susur Lee, Nick Maglieri, Mark McEwan, Alice Medrich, Jacques Pepin and Nina Simonds.
As a graduate of University of Toronto and George Brown College, she began her training in France, Italy, Taiwan, Thailand, Japan, India and the United States.
Why has Main Street Magazine chosen Bonnie Stern as a “Chef of Merit?” Throughout her career Bonnie has been able to channel her professional interest in food into activities that benefit the community. Her CKFM Cookbook (Cooking with Bonnie Stern) raised money for the Hospital for Sick Children and her three Heart Smart cookbooks raised money for The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
She was a positive influence helping bring the Share Our Strength's "Taste of the Nation" hunger relief fundraising event to Toronto and has supported the work of Second Harvest, Toronto's food recovery program, for fifteen years.
