About Joel Gamoran

I’m a CIA-trained chef who started my career in experiential retail as the National Chef of Sur La Table. Along the way, I’ve been lucky to share my love of cooking on the Today Show, Sesame Street, GMA, PBS, and A&E, experiences that helped me grow into one of the most trusted chefs in America!I started Homemade with one simple belief: everyone deserves the chance to learn how to cook for free. What began in my garage as small online cooking classes has grown into the largest online cooking class platform in America.Today, our classes are integrated into the places where people already are from Alaska Airlines to the American Diabetes Association, Safeway, and Virta Health reaching tens of millions of people every month. We’ve partnered with over 250 CPG food and non-endemic brands.‍ Our content now reaches tens of millions each month through our distribution network. Our classes have an 82%+ completion rate (people don’t just sign up, they stick with it).At Homemade, we’re not just creating content, we’re creating genuine human connection. If you’re a brand that supports home cooking and wants measurable impact with true ROI, let’s connect!
