Meet Chef Abby Fammartino

Abby Fammartino began her culinary exploration at a young age, developing a natural cooking savvy along with a keen interest in health and wellness. Her involvement in local, sustainable farming, her studies in Japan, and her interest in the Chinese Five-Phase Theory bring delicate balance to her worldly repertoire. Abby is a graduate of the acclaimed Natural Gourmet Institute of Food and Health in New York City, a leader in health-supportive food theory and gourmet cuisine.

She views whole foods as preventative medicine, and she stays up to date on current food issues in order to create safe, sustainable menus. Abby loves to create new recipes, share them with hungry friends and speak excitably about food with anyone who asks. She has cooked in reputable restaurants such as Deborah Madison’s Greens in San Francisco, assisted private caterers on the East and West coasts, and worked as head chef on a research vessel in the Aleutian Islands.

Abby launched Your Natural Chef in 2004. Since then she has delighted the palates of many happy and healthy clients in Philadelphia, Manhattan and Seattle before relocating to the Portland area in 2007.

"I believe that it is possible for anyone to get excited about real food. Whether it be through fresh weekly meals or occasional cooking classes, I make it my business to inspire a healthy lifestyle that begins in the kitchen. It’s easy to learn simple ways to balance your health by understanding the best ingredients for your body and your lifestyle.

Shopping for seasonal and local foods is the first step to achieve this balance. My aim is to help you make this step by teaching and creating healthy yet succulent menus to improve your quality of life. Eating well can be fun, health-building and practical. And most importantly, deliciously enjoyable."
