Based in (but not confined to) California’s Bay Area, Victoria of The Presumptuous Pepita is a Plant-Based Baker, Meal-prep Chef, Nutrition Coach, and Recipe Creator ready to share some of their secrets.

Hope you’re hungry.

 

So many of us downplay the intimacy that food can bring. I want my recipes to invite you to enjoy the ritual of cooking, to sit presently with beloveds (or just yourself) and remember how much joy, connection, and even excitement there is to be felt in the everyday experiences we typically call mundane. My food does that for me, I hope it can do that for you.

This page is a conglomeration of recipes and stories that move me. Whether they are from my own culture or experiences, or honored and borrowed from others… credit will be given where it’s due. You will not find a “click to recipe” link in any of my recipes because I believe that learning through story-telling about food is a very important aspect of cooking food. If you don’t know the origin of a dish, you shouldn’t be cooking it. If you don’t want to learn about a culture, you shouldn’t be eating their food.

 

Choose food that feeds your spirit.
