Rogue River Gluten Free Rafting Vacation

We're excited to announce the spectacular chef who will oversee Whitewater Warehouse's 2011 Rogue River Gluten Free rafting and kayaking trip. Chef Abby Fammartino will design the evening meals, shop for them and prepare them--all in a 100% effort to make sure the meals served to our valued guests are gluten free. Chef Abby is the manager/operator of Abby's Table in Portland, Oregon.

Abby's Table lists their mission as: Inspiring flavors and healthy foods on every table. Fresh, easy to please sauces and puddings that are friendly to all types of eaters:  100% gluten, dairy, soy, casein free and raw sauces; community dinners and catering.

The philosophy at Abby's Table is to source pure, natural and organic items at all costs. They believe in the power of yum.  Healthy food must taste delicious in order for your body to truly reap the health benefits over time. They wish to strengthen a healthy food culture in America, one table at a time. Food tastes better when shared, savored or enjoyed sitting down with loved ones--we at Whitewater Warehouse believe in the same food credo!

Abby Fammartino has been a chef for almost her entire life.  When you think there's nothing in the house for dinner, Abby somehow always manages to "whip up" something tasty from the pantry.  Chef Abby has a passion for the nutritive and health-supportive qualities of foods and attended the Natural Gourmet Institute of Food and Health in Manhattan.  Among her specialties, she is able to easily craft inventive and delicious allergy-friendly cuisine that everyone loves. A world traveler, she brings inventive twists on local and seasonal ingredients in her recipes.

Chef Abby has worked at Greens in San Francisco (2005), and in 2007 served as the chef on a National Geographic Expedition in the Aleutian Islands.  She has also worked as a private chef and caterer in Philadelphia, New York, and Seattle prior to founding Abby's Table in Portland, Oregon. We are lucky to have this talented chef sign on to this innovative Oregon gluten free rafting vacation trip!

  1. What an excellent option. I help run a whitewater rafting outfitter on the Ocoee River in Tennessee. We're also interested in providing specialty menus on our full day trips. Do you have a menu for your gluten free trip worked up yet?

  2. Thanks, John, for the post. We are currently working up the menu. Chef Abby is in charge of making sure the meals are entirely gluten-free--from start to finish!
