We’re a free online cooking community offering expert-led live classes, real conversations, and a space where food is more than fuel—it’s joyful, healing, and meant to be shared.
Welcome to Homemade!
Homemade started with a simple idea:
good food, and the joy of making it, should be available to everyone.
Meet Chef Joel
Chef Joel Gamoran launched Homemade from his West Seattle garage, offering free live-stream cooking classes anyone could join. A Culinary Institute of America grad, he spent over a decade as Sur La Table’s National Chef, helping thousands of home cooks build confidence in the kitchen.
