For many years, I traveled the globe, studying and working in some of the world’s most beautiful locations. As I crossed continents, I found a commonality between cooking and storytelling.
With the stir of a whisk came an uplifting tale – a dash of spice evolved into a traditional song or dance. I realized that food was another form of expression – a joyful part of life.
Most of the traditional dishes I cooked in Greece, Spain and Italy were plant-based so that’s what you’ll see in this blog. I’m excited to share with you my literary and culinary journey. Look for helpful tips along the way.
If you’re not sure where to start, try my favorite plant-based Recipes for delicious Mediterranean dishes. If you are a book reader, then my Inspirational Authors page is for you!
Feel free to hang here and fire away with questions or comments. I’d love to hear from you!
Your friend,
Ellie Bleu
