Learn to Really Cook!
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
Thank you Bonnie!
What a dinner and what chefs! All the IW&FS members and Guests in attendance participated in the food preparation, production and cooking. I think this is an event that we all could try at home with some of our closer friends, make a meal a-la-minute in our own kitchens. It was very interesting to see the really type “As” at work what a competitive bunch we are...all in all it was amazing. If you missed it ...you missed it!

When Bonnie Stern started her cooking school in 1973 she 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. Bonnie is still sharing her love of cooking in everything she does.
Bonnie founded The Bonnie Stern School of Cooking and Cookware Shop in Toronto in 1973. She teaches special event classes and privately organized group classes as well as classes open to the public. She also hosts an informative website featuring recipes, food news, a web store (www.bonniestern.com) and sends out a monthly e-newsletter. One of her latest projects is hosting a book club where novelists are invited to speak about their books and guests are served dinner roughly based on the novel. Bonnie has a degree in English and the book clubs bring together her two passions food and literature.
What an evening! good food prepared by many hands makes light work. Bonnie has clearly taught us that excellence is not necessarily exhausting slavery over a hot stove....The menu was handed out groups were formed for each course and dinner was made in a spirit of learning and keeping it simple...and then we got to eat our creations. Sorry no doggie bags...
