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. My new passion is Blue Zone Living and I am now hosting annual trips to Greece to explore this lifestlye.
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.”
