Hi! Thanks for stopping by Joe Eats World!
Joe Eats World is the brainchild of Chef Joe Morales. I'm originally from the Pacific Northwest, more specifically, Southwest Washington.
I'm currently living in Chicago developing recipes, teaching cooking classes, and furthering my culinary career.
I've lived in Northern California on a 60' sailboat, traveled the Southwest in a Jeep Wrangler without air conditioning, spent some time in Las Vegas, lived in a cabin on 56 acres in upstate New York, and I even lived in a Bluebird Wanderlodge traveling around the Midwest, New England, and Florida. Saying I love to travel is an understatement.
Culinary Background
In between all the traveling, I decided to grow up (just a little) and head back to school. I enrolled and graduated from culinary school with an Associate of Applied Science degree.
Watercress, Whipped Goat Cheese, and Pickled Peach Salad 
Columbia Gorge Washington State Cured Scallop Crudo
Since graduating, I have worked in a lot of restaurants with a background in fine dining. I've worked for some pretty talented chefs and have learned so much. I started Joe Eats World in order to document my culinary journey and travel exploits but quickly realized my passion is teaching people how to be better cooks and how to be more aware of the food they are eating.
Joe Eats World is a place where you will find recipes that are easy to make, have real and natural ingredients. Most everything you will find on this site is made from scratch; the exceptions being food that isn't practical to make or that are too time-consuming.
