(he/him)

Jed is a chef & nutritionist living in Portland, OR. After a decade working on organic farms, studying holistic health & nutrition, and growing a love for cooking, these interests & passions intersected to help form Gather Around Nutrition, a farm-to-table private chef company with a food-as-medicine approach to cooking.

With Cajun roots and an adoration for rich global cuisines such as Thai, Mexican and Eastern Mediterranean, flavor is never lacking in Jed's food! He loves adapting recipes to have a "northwest flair" to showcase the abundance of local produce of our region.

He also takes pleasure in adapting classic comfort foods to fit his clients' dietary needs. With a vegetable-forward approach to cooking, his meals will leave you feeling satisfied & healthy.

As someone who has suffered with IBS, but now has it under control through diet & lifestyle changes, Jed wants to support others on their own health journeys by providing delicious home-cooked meals prepared with local, seasonal ingredients, creativity & love.
