About 'Piantala'

How this project was born

Piantala Vegan Cuisine is an idea I've had in mind for a long time, slowly brought into life after the amazing experience running Cafe Freeariello with my husband in 2021.
It started out as a recipe Blog and it's now a registered Home Bakery in Spearwood - Perth - where I live with my beautiful family.
At Piantala's all creations are made using plant derived ingredients, and I like playing with Gluten Free flours too to get the right textures and results as good - if not better - as the mainstream products.
Sugar free and Nut free* options are available, with a focus on Natural alternatives.

Do you have to be Vegan to eat my Cakes? Not at all. The good news is Plant based Sweets are great for everyone and anyone with allergies like eggs and dairy, which are absolutely absent in my kitchen.
My promise is you'll ask for more and will feel light and delighted 🌿

*PLEASE NOTE that extra care is put into place to minimise cross contamination but it may occur as there is Gluten and Nuts in our kitchen. Don't hesitate to contact me for any questions.

About Me

Who's behind Piantala Vegan Cuisine

I am Cristina and I run Piantala Vegan Cuisine. I was born in Naples, Italy, and I've lived in Australia for nearly 10 years.
Kitchen has always been my favourite room of the house since I can remember; if I wasn't singing or studying I was definitely cooking!
I went Vegan in 2013 and that's when I started experimenting with new products and techniques, which I still do with so much awe exploring the baking universe.
I've elaborated recipes that don't just "replace" ingredients, but which have a balance and identity of their own.

I personally love cakes sweetened with natural "sugars" like dates, maple and fruit. I have a gorgeous little daughter and these healthier options are dedicated especially to her and to all the little ones around, still being playful and yummy.
My cooking style has an Italian rustic imprint and I'm very much about scrumptious food, rather than only spectacular looking. I find so much excitement through the process of baking and decorating and watching people enjoying what I've made them is just so fulfilling. There are many things that have changed and will most likely change in my life, but my passion for food, and pastry in particular, is not one of them!
