In a world of fast food, frozen meals, and ultra-processed convenience, Homecooked is a call back to something beautifully simple—and radically transformative: the power of cooking at home.

This is more than a food movement. It’s a culinary renaissance.

Rooted in tradition, driven by science, and inspired by culture, Homecooked celebrates the art of preparing meals from scratch, the joy of sharing them, and the profound impact this everyday act has on our health, communities, and planet.

We believe that home cooking is not just about nourishment—it's about connection, ritual, and resilience, and eating together.

Our mission is simple.

To teach and empower home cooks of any skill level to get into the kitchen, overcome the biggest barriers to home cooking—time, self-doubt, burnout, and cost—and begin setting meaningful culinary goals for themselves and their families. Regardless of if you’re a chef or a daily homecook, this movement is an invitation to reconnect with the importance of mindful eating—a practice of slowing down, savoring each bite, and truly appreciating the food that nourishes us. It's about reconnecting with the roots of eating whole, unprocessed foods that provide not just physical sustenance, but emotional and spiritual nourishment as well.

Fresh with the knowledge of culinary coaching from my training through “Culinary Health Education Fundamentals (CHEF) Coaching” — Culinary Medicine course by Harvard Medical School, this movement will feature online Culinary Courses and in-person Cook-Alongs.

With a focus on both tradition and practicality, the Homecooked Movement will incude culinary hacks and modernizations of classic dishes to make them easier and quicker to prepare, without compromising on flavor. These practical tips allow you to enjoy the vibrant, authentic tastes of the diversity of homecooked Lankan cuisine and other plant based cuisines in today’s world. Whether you're rediscovering ancient cooking techniques or experimenting with new twists on honoured recipes, this movement will inspire a deeper, more intentional way of experiencing food — for life.

And this movement will always be freely accessible because public health is priceless, and sharing food cooked together is the purest form of hospitality.

Whether you’re reheating leftovers or hosting your first dinner for friends and family, the Homecooked Movement and the Culinary Community it is building around the world, will meet you where you are. We believe cooking shouldn’t be intimidating—it should be joyful, sustainable, and deeply personal.

Our vision is a world filled with confident, empowered home cooks—people who cook daily or weekly, who share meals with friends and family, and who find joy, pride, and connection in the food they prepare — cooking and eating the way our grandparents did.
