About Joyful Belly

New recipe pops up, emerges, birthed like mushrooms in the forest. Each of us a cultural movement in food. The chef puts his spirit into the preparation of food and manifests a wish. Lifting up, raising up a new ingredient, a new combination that never existed before.

We bring our styles together and influence one another. The chef offers his new creation to the community and the people bond around bright, colorful food that satisfies and warms the body, creating energy and health.

There is a new movement of cooking across America. In the past ten years, access to exciting ingredients from around the globe has encouraged chefs to depart from traditional recipes in radical, uplifting, healthy ways. We wanted to eat the new colors. Taste fresh life. Be refreshed with flavor.

Let’s celebrate and glorify the growing abundance and incredible variety of food. And share with each other the dishes and the chefs creating Joyful Bellies.

Joyful Belly is the community of chefs creating the new movement in food. Help us discover chefs, amateur cooks, and food writers by nominating your favorite Joyful Belly chef!
