Welcome to Chef Joe’s Recipe Corner

Meet Chef Joe Bucholz, our Executive Chef at Healing Meals Community Project! With over 20 years of experience leading kitchens, including at La Figata Restaurant and Z Catering in Granby, CT, Joe brings a passion for nourishing food and community connection to everything he does.

At Healing Meals, food is love, and Joe helps bring that to life every day. He works alongside our dedicated kitchen team, adult mentors, and teen volunteers to prepare organic, nutrient-rich meals for people in a health crisis. But it’s not just about the meals, it’s about the experience. Under Joe’s leadership, our kitchen is a welcoming, hands-on learning space where people of all ages come together to grow, give back, and make a difference.
