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.
