Cooking Fulla Joy is a set of offerings with me, Erica Joy, that allows me to mesh my passions of cooking and peer support thru a praxis of Fat Liberation. My goal is to support folks with increasing their comfort + confidence in the kitchen through a gentle, playful, anti-diet, and body-centered lens. From conversation to in-kitchen support to shopping lists, my offerings meet people at every step of the way.
Cooking Fulla Joy encompasses four offerings:

Cooking Fulla Joy Convos
A Cooking Fulla Joy Convo is about getting to know who you are, your current relationship with food, cooking, and the kitchen as well as what you want your relationship to look like. All journeys start with a Cooking Fulla Joy Convo is meant to be a jumping off point for either continued conversations around these topics or for other offerings like Kitchen Coaching, Meal Idea Curation, and Grocery Lists. This is also a time for me to learn about any allergies, sensitivities, or things you’re wanting to add to your diet.
Some questions we may get into are: How is your relationship to food + the kitchen? What are you wanting? What do you like to eat? What’s in your kitchen? How would you like to feel in the kitchen?

Kitchen Coaching
These coaching sessions could be for meal prep, a dish, or an entire meal. A session could be for a random mid-week lunch or a special occasion. Whenever and whatever feels right + most useful for you!
These coaching sessions have the goal of creating a deeper understanding of tangible ins + outs of cooking. I may be there guiding you through the steps, letting you know the why behind the specific actions, giving you tips for improvement, answering questions, and providing a little extra joy around the whole endeavor.
These coaching sessions could be particularly helpful if it seems like somehow no matter how closely you follow a recipe, things don’t turn out right or if you’re trying to figure out ways to make steps more accessible or if things get overwhelming.

Anti-Diet Meal Curation
Whether you’re looking to change up your rotation, incorporate new ingredients, bring greater comfort, or challenge your cooking abilities — based on our Cooking Fulla Joy Convo, I will send you 3-5 recipes to try out, and a list of other meals, so you don’t have to think about what you’re making for dinner (or breakfast…or lunch) for a week.
Please Note: I am happy to work around allergies, intolerances, and preferences, but I will not provide plans for the sake of weight loss.

Grocery List Planning
I will create a grocery list for the ingredients needed for the recipes as well as basics that can be used in a variety of dishes and meals. These lists will be influenced by:

Not sure about booking a sesh, but still interested in supporting this work and learning?:
The Cooking Fulla Joy Comradery is launching January 2026! This is a place to learn, giggle, and cook alongside me, Erica Joy! I'll be sharing with y'all the tips, tricks, and reminders I keep in mind when cooking + meal planning. I'll send out my favorite recipes that I've tried, tested, and adapted. As I'm developing a deeper relationship to the Earth, my sprituality, and the ingredients I use, I'll do mini deep dives + reflections on some of my go-to spices + herbs. I'll also be reflecting on stories + memories on food from my life, some of which def inspire a giggle or two.
In supporting the Cooking Fulla Joy Comradery, you are not only supporting the time + labor I put into weekly posts, but also directly supporting my ability to provide subsidized and free CFJ offerings to multiply-marginalized low-income folks who are trying to navigate their relationship to food and cooking. Paid tiers (beginning at $1/month) get an email each week with one of the above. The Cardamom Pod ($22/month) will get to meet monthly as a group! We can co-create the space as a lil cooking club.
Use the embed beside or below to subscribe! Starting off, I’ll be doing four free post for all members, and after that 3 of the 4 posts a month will be for paid members only!
