Bonny Reichert is a National Magazine Award-winning journalist. She has been an editor at Today’s Parent and Chatelaine, and a columnist and regular contributor to The Globe and Mail. When she turned forty, she had a now-or-never feeling in her bones and quit her job to enroll in culinary school. After that, she began to explore her relationship with food on the page, seeing her childhood in the restaurant business and her background as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor in a new light. Bonny was born in Edmonton, Alberta, and lives in Toronto with her husband Michael and little dog, Bruno. Her three almost-adult children come and go. She holds a Master of Fine Art in creative nonfiction from the University of King’s College in Halifax and teaches writing at the University of Toronto’s School of Continuing Studies. In 2020, Bonny was longlisted for the CBC Short Story Prize and in 2022, How to Share an Egg won the Dave Greber social justice writing award for a book-in-progress.
