Articles By Abigail Hitchcock

Although Abigail Hitchcock was born and raised in Long Island, it wasn’t until she studied Botany while attending university in England and lived in a “self-catering flat” that her love of cooking really began to bloom. Upon returning to the states Abby enrolled in Peter Kump’s New York Cooking School (now the Institute of Culinary Education) and with that diploma in hand she was able to work at The Tea Box at Takashimaya in New York, at Vong in London and at the BBC’s Good Food Magazine. She has been a private chef, worked at Martha Stewart Living Television and run her own catering company.

She eventually settled down as part owner, then sole owner, of CAMAJE bistro in Greenwich Village. It has been open for almost 13 years, something of a record in Manhattan.

In addition to being its chef/owner, Abby began a small cooking school at CAMAJE, and she also leads tours of various New York City neighborhoods—Chinatown Shop and Cook is a perennially sold-out favorite. On selected evenings Abby, with collaborator Dana Salisbury, hosts Dark Dining—sensory feasts served to blindfolded diners which have been featured in New York and national media.

In May 2008 Abby and her husband, Jason Noble, opened Abigail Cafe & Wine Bar, in Prospect Heights near the Brooklyn Museum and Botanic Garden.
