Social media sensations and cookbook authors,
Cooking for Levi

Jack and Levi are the father and son cooking duo behind @cookingforlevi. They’ve made hundreds of different dishes together and shared them online to inspire families to cook together more and bring quality bonding time back to the kitchen.

Jack started his culinary career 12 years ago as a prep cook and worked his way up through the ranks over a decade in different professional kitchens and eventually took on sous chef and head chef positions.

Three years ago, Jack started making videos with his then two-year-old son, Levi, hoping to share his passion for food and cooking with him. Levi became an instant star with his genuine and adorable reactions to the variety of delicious dishes that Jack prepared for him. Before long, Levi started helping out in the kitchen as well and their videos now inspire millions of people around the world to start cooking with their children.

Jack and his wife, Emmy, are currently preparing for the release of their new cookbook “Weeknight Winners, Family Dinners: Raise Curious Eaters with Kid-Approved, Adult-Loved Recipes.”
