our seasonal theme
Spring Renewal:
A Journey from Garden to Table
For our first theme, we celebrate the rejuvenation, nutrition & comfort that spring brings to our plates.
Our culinary expedition is a unique blend of the season's freshest offerings, such as aromatic herbs, colorful edible flowers, and the first crisp vegetables like asparagus and peas. These elements are woven into comforting dishes, providing a lighter, yet deeply satisfying culinary experience.
We're elevating farm-to-table cooking, and creating dishes with the vibrancy and nutritional benefits of spring's bounty. Imagine transforming traditional dishes with a spring twist—creamy risottos enriched with fresh peas and mint, sumptuous soups bursting with spring greens, and lively salads adorned with edible flowers and superfoods like berries and avocados.
Each recipe is crafted to not only nourish the body but also to soothe the soul, marrying the joy of comfort food with the health benefits of seasonal eating.
Our adventure doesn't stop at the kitchen door.
We're stepping into the wild (or even just into our backyards with foraging tips that connect us with the very essence of spring, introducing unique flavors and ingredients directly from nature's pantry into our cooking. "Seasonal Symphony" is more than just eating with the seasons; it's about creating meals that are a testament to renewal, warmth, and community.
Join us as we rediscover the comforting classics, reimagined with the fresh, life-affirming vitality of spring. It's an invitation to transform your dining table into a celebration of the season's plentiful gifts, offering meals that are as nourishing as they are comforting.

Hi there,
I’m Chef Jeremy Rock Smith

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.
