Joel Gamoran

Chef Joel Gamoran has always believed that you don’t need to be a professional chef to create a delicious meal. He has always placed a focus on sustainability, simple home cooking, and education. When he and co-founder Ben Rosenfeld started Homemade, the goal was to make cooking more accessible for everyone, and protect the environment while inspiring millions to experiment with food at home. Joel graduated from the University of Connecticut with a major in Restaurant Management and Communication. Following that, he pursued culinary education at the Culinary Institute of America and the Culinary Institute of Florence, Italy. After gaining experience in various restaurants, Joel discovered a passion for inspiring others to cook. He served as the National Chef at Sur La Table for a decade and built a significant following by making appearances on NBC's Today Show, Sesame Street, and Good Morning America. This journey led to his first TV show, Scraps, which aired on A&E, and the publication of his cookbook, "Cooking Scrappy." On Homemade Live!, Joel is joined by members of his family and some of his celebrity friends as they cook, laugh, and make some new homemade memories.
