Becky’s Mindful Kitchen

By Becky Schmooke

Becky’s Mindful Kitchen is centered around family, with my kids, husband and parents all involved in making this place so very special.

I grew up in Iowa City and love raising my kids here as well. Integrity and respect are my nonnegotiables, with this being a place for everyone to feel welcomed and accepted. In my kitchen, cooking and food are the universal connectors that bring people together to celebrate the power and beauty of the shared human experience. It is a place to gather, and each week I do that with thousands across the globe in my free interactive cooking show online.

BMK is about more than just cooking. I speak with, not to, groups about resilience, vulnerability and empathy. I believe in befriending anxiety and shining light on shame. I offer events covering themes related to mindful parenting, vulnerability, respectful discourse, and eating disorders (I have a history of 20 years of bulimia and am in recovery – never recovered). We cook, share and you will leave with the feeling that you are not alone.

For those local to BMK, on-site we have a new commercial teaching kitchen (we also do soap, candle, skin care and makeup classes), a fairy forest trail, adventure playground (zip line, ninja obstacle course, rock climbing walls and more), a fairytale treehouse, pizza oven (coming April 2021), goats and chickens. I try to always source from local organic female farmers and grow our own produce in the BMK gardens. There are many ways to customize your experience here to make it perfect for any occasion.
