"Food and cuisine are a culmination of human and ecological harmony, evolutionary abundance, culture, innovation and creativity, which I am excited to participate in as a chef and community member."

​

Chef Gabby began her small food business in 2016 in efforts to combine her passions for sustainable agriculture with feeding her community, and family style hospitality. Coming from a multicultural food loving background, the seeds for food and environmental justice, access, and education were planted at a young age. Her fondest memories are painting her aunties basil pots, making homemade tomato sauce, and giant cucuzza squashes hanging in her family's urban backyard. Chef Gabby enjoys preparing mediterranean, eastern european, and middle eastern menus in exploration of her family's heritage- but equally loves creating all cuisines of the world in efforts to preserve human culture in relation to our environment. She has worked as a culinary and garden educator, a micro farmer, a CSA coordinator (to name a few), while building her reputation as a farm to table chef and educator. 

When she's not cooking, Chef Gabby is an avid music lover and musician, enjoys stand up comedy, painting, and walking around the city enjoying ice cream and Vietnamese food. She lives in Jersey City with her dog Zucchini, and loved ones in the neighborhood. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

"Through food, we have the ability to interact and affect our local ecologies, communities, and economies, as well as deeply nourish ourselves. This is sustainability and intergenerational responsibility.

My goal as a chef, grower, and educator is to honor traditional food ways, ecology, artistry, and wellness, as well as healing through food.  I specialize in using locally grown and unique ingredients, I have cultivated meaningful relationships with my local farm community over the past 12 years, and come from a diverse cultural background, which inform my menus and services. With over a decade of industry experience in agriculture, culinary arts, education, and event production, I love to embark on new challenges, and work on the ground with my community. Food is my way of making the world a better place and striving for well being "

-Chef Gabby
