Bonnie is a devoted “foodie.”  Cooking is her passion.  It brings together all that matters most in life to Bonnie…Family and friends…Celebrating and making memories together.

She spent the past 11 years as the Vice President of Development for KCPT Public Television. Prior to her work at the station, she was the Director of Marketing for The Barstow School where she founded and coordinated “The Barstow School Organic Farmers’ Market and Chef Series.”  Her career began administering social services for youth at risk under Mayor Berkley’s Youth Council.

Bonnie has worked in the television medium for over 20 years…Serving as a producer and host for several community channels. Her programs have given a voice and platform for issues ranging from education and the arts to social se rvice and cooking.

Friends, dinner guests and viewers told her she should “do” a cooking show.  It is with this encouragement and the support of Entercom Radio this program has been created.

Bonnie holds a Masters Degree in Communication Studies. She lives in Leawood with her husband (Sam Rabicoff). Their son (Isaac – 25) earned his degree in physics and will attend law school this fall to pursue a career in intellectual property.

“In the Kitchen” is dedicated in memory to Bonnie’s Aunt Betty Lou:

“My Aunt loved wonderful food and nurtured my passion for cooking. I would bring her to my home on Sundays for brunch and she would stay for hours while I prepared meals for the upcoming week.  We would pour over beautiful cookbooks and treasured our outings together at Williams-Sonoma. One of her dreams was that I would some day “do” a cooking show.

My Aunt’s health had begun to fail the day KSHB – Channel 41 (NBC affiliate) came to my home to do a live broadcast of my cooking matzo balls for Passover…Yet she remained glued to her TV. She passed away four days later. Aunt Betty Lou was smart, funny and outrageous. Though her death broke my heart…Her memory remains one of the inspirations for this show. “
