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 http://www.bonniestern.com and sends out a monthly e-newsletter. The Bonnie Stern School of Cooking has earned its owner an international reputation that reflects both Bonnie Stern's culinary excellence and her widespread experience studying with food specialists from around the world. The school has hosted such 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. 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. Stern has a degree in English and the book clubs bring together her two passions food and literature.
