About Us

Our Story

Lots of people re-evaluated their lives during the pandemic shutdown. After 27 years of corporate life, business travel, and raising kids, we had a real discussion on what we love & what our next phase of this beautiful life could be. What do we love? Great food. Cooking with friends and family. Nice things for the kitchen. Yeah, and a little good wine.

Our philosophy is that cooking should support a healthy lifestyle, but still be delicious and enjoyable. Learn something, have some fun doing it, and eat some delicious food. The items in your kitchen should make cooking easier and more efficient for the chef so the chef can spend more time enjoying the meal with family and friends. We believe in products that are built to last, that exceed your expectations. Items that are easy to take care of and fun to use. We want to bring people together and foster a love of food and cooking.

Come have some fun!

The Joyful Gourmet

At the corner of Milwaukee & School street in downtown Libertyville (the old Starbucks site). School St is a right turn if you are coming north on Milwaukee, where there is parking on the street. There is access and parking between Cook & School St behind the buildings. Overflow parking is behind the shops on the west side of Milwaukee – just a 1 block walk.

Left turns off Milwaukee can be tough during rush hour, if you are coming from the north. You can avoid this by crossing Milwaukee at Cook Ave, or turn left after the tracks at Newberry (at the Shell station)
