Hi, I'm Chef Abby...also known by many as "Buonabbytito!" Food has always been my love language; I take so much pride & joy in cooking for those around me. Whether you're family, friends or even strangers, food is the magical thread that weaves connection. It's true...You can't live a full life on an empty stomach!
I grew up in a rural town in Northeast PA surrounded by woodlands, forests, lakes and farms. This has largely inspired me to look toward utilizing local resources for ingredients, as well as a large appreciation for the agricultural industry. I graduated from the Culinary Nutrition program at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI which married by love for food with my passion for nutrition. As a true advocate in “You are what You eat”, I strive to educate and demonstrate the importance of food and nutrition as fuel and medicine. With my background rooted in nutrition & clinical dietetics, I am well-versed in creating food that is as delicious as it is beautiful with nutritional value considered to ensure my clients are functioning optimally with their specific health goals in mind from athletic performance to weight management.
A study abroad trip to Italy instilled the importance of locally sourcing quality ingredients to make exquisite food that heals the body, while cooking for an SEC football team taught me the techniques necessary to thrive in high-pressure environments and the many ways I could deliver thoughtful cuisine, seasoned with plenty of love to win over the pickiest of palates. I have a unique sense of calm in the kitchen—an ease greatly appreciated when working at events and for clients. Creating a positive environment around food, learning to think about ingredients and where they come from and being mindful of what your body needs are just a few topics I hope to encourage through my food.
“I cook as I like to eat—seasonal, local, and healthy while also listening to your body." I take pride in using health-forward ingredients and locally sourcing products as often as I can, letting their natural flavors shine with exciting, interesting twists. I also cater to specific dietary needs including but not limited to Vegan, Vegetarian/plant-based, Pescatarian, Dairy free and Gluten free, Allergen-sensitive and calculated meal plans.
Outside of the kitchen (which is rare...haha) you can find me traveling, enjoying a beach day, practicing yoga, being active, relishing in nature or simply being a "foodie" roaming local farmers markets, researching food trends & trying new out restaurants. I’m glad you found me and I look forward to cooking for you soon!
