Most chefs teach you recipes.
I teach you how to cook.
Welcome
I’m Chef Jeremy Rock Smith
Mix a dash of Julia, a pinch of Bourdain and a drop of Deepak—and you’ve got the perfect recipe for Chef Jeremy Rock Smith.
Internationally known as a good dude making good food, I’m a classically trained chef, healthy cooking expert and best-selling cookbook author.
Known for my signature style of cooking with a side of comedy, I serve as Culinary Ambassador for the Kripalu Center of Yoga & Health, Culinary Specialist at Miraval, and am on the faculty of the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, D.C. My delightfully down-to-earth approach to whole foods cooking has brought me a dedicated following and esteemed tenures as Demonstration Chef at Canyon Ranch and Executive Chef at Kripalu.
I’m the author of best-selling cookbook, The Kripalu Kitchen: Nourishing Food for Body and Soul (2019). My humorous approach to nutritious & holistic living has earned me accolades in a range of publications including the Food Network Blog, HEALTH, Prevention, Yoga Journal and more. I’m also known for my fan-favorite appearance on Food Network’s Chopped in 2019. Recently, I was announced as the Culinary Camp Director at Berkshire Hills Culinary Camp.
Word in the kitchen
“Jeremy was absolutely outstanding in mixing both valuable content and practical skills while also providing a fully engaging and hilarious presentation on whole foods cooking. He's a gem.”
