Welcome to my online healthy & holistic cooking classes!
I am Chef Jeremy Rock Smith and I’m excited to bring the wisdom of Blue Zones and Ayurveda directly into your kitchen. These classes aren’t just about following recipes—they’re about learning to cook in a way that supports long-term health, vitality, and well-being.
By focusing on the timeless principles of these two traditions, we’ll explore how to prepare meals that are as nourishing as they are delicious. You’ll gain a deep understanding of foundational cooking techniques, enabling you to create dishes that are not only flavorful but also aligned with the holistic principles of longevity and balance.
Unlike traditional in-person classes held in professional kitchens, my online format allows you to learn and build muscle memory in your very own space. This way, you’re not just trying to recall what you did once you get home; you’re practicing in the exact place you’ll cook day after day.
How Our Live Online Classes Work
Register for a class: Once you sign up, you’ll receive the Zoom link for the live session. One week prior to the class date, you’ll also get the recipes and any prep materials.
Prepare for success: While you’re welcome to cook along during the live class, I suggest watching and engaging first. This way, you can focus on mastering the techniques and understanding the health benefits of each ingredient without the pressure of keeping up.
Cook along with the recording: After the class, you’ll have access to the recording for 30 days, giving you the freedom to practice and perfect your skills at your own pace.
Take the next step! If you're looking for more, join The Rock-Solid Cooking Collective! Enjoy unlimited access to class recordings, over 50 hours of past live classes, and dive deeper into the world of healthy, holistic cooking that supports a long, vibrant life.
