Hi and welcome!
So happy you’re here!
I’m Francesca, the face (and very hungry stomach) behind Recipes and Places!
This blog is all about delicious, whole-food, plant-based recipes and naturally vegan dishes—because eating more plants should be easy, fun, and full of flavor. In fact, my goal is to help you and your family eat more plants by discovering new tasty recipes and ingredients!
A little about me: I’m Italian and Swiss, and I went plant-based in 2020. Moving abroad and going vegan sparked my passion for cooking, and now I’m on a mission to explore all the amazing plant-based food the world has to offer!
Whether it’s naturally vegan traditional dishes, new ingredients and recipes, or the best plant-based spots to eat, I’m always discovering something new—and sharing it with you.
So, whether you’re vegan, plant-curious, or just here for the food—welcome! Let’s explore the world, one delicious bite at a time.
Thanks for being here!
