    Portrait of Jeremy Cheminade

    i. Biography

    The Climb

    In Doha, the Head Chef post at Jiwan (2019–2021) marks a key point in Jeremy Cheminade’s career. That role sits in a line of kitchens shaped by steadiness, technical control, and calm under pressure, where consistency carried as much weight as ambition. The result is a progression that reads as deliberate work rather than quick ascent. At Impérial Choisy in Paris, the Executive Chef role gives that experience a current form.

    Under Jeremy Cheminade, the position is framed by Cantonese traditions and a disciplined sense of place, with the kitchen built on repetition, structure, and measured execution.

Together, they point to a cook working through contrast, reference, and interpretation.

    In Their Words

    Recognition

    The clearest named recognition is the listing of chocolate and orange ravioli at IDAM by Alain Ducasse. Jeremy Cheminade’s own words sharpen the point: “All our dishes are signature dishes.” Taken together, the listing and the quote place emphasis on seasonality and change, not fixed formulas, and on work that stays responsive to context.
