Hi there and welcome!
I'm Megan Calipari the writer, photographer and recipe developer here at Earthly Provisions. I'm a trained pastry chef and a lover of the outdoors and all things vegan food.
Here you will find vegan recipes that use simple methods to create bold flavors and stunning results. Whether you are looking for a simple weeknight dinner like Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Wraps, or a stunning vegan dessert like my Vegan Banana Cream Pie Cake, Earthly Provisions has something for every occasion!
A Little Bit About Me
I have loved cooking and baking for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I baked cookies and made pancakes with my mom's help. Then, as I got older, I graduated into trying new recipes that I found in cookbooks or on the internet, and cooking meals for my family. As you can imagine, there was a lot of trial and error during this time!
But, when recipes didn't work out, I didn't know why. I had a strong desire to learn all about the science of cooking so I could understand what went wrong. So, I decided to attend culinary school.
I graduated from Cambridge School of Culinary Arts Professional Pastry Program in 2013 and have been working in restaurants and bakeries in the Boston area ever since!
I currently manage the vegan bakeshop at FoMu Ice Cream where I test and develop recipes, and do everything else that comes with kitchen management!
Once I started testing recipes at work, I loved it so much that I started testing and developing recipes at home. So, I started Earthly Provisions to share my recipes with you!
My expertise covers a wide array of foods, but desserts hold a special place in my heart. In my recipes, I embrace simplicity, using readily available ingredients and offering easy-to-follow instructions that make cooking fun for beginners and seasoned chefs alike.

More About Me and the Blog
Cookies are a great place to start and I have so many! If I had to choose one, though, I'd say Vegan Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Definitely my Vegan Oreo Cake! Its a triple-layer cake that has a ganache drip on top. Its gorgeous and delicious!
No! Most of my recipes are similar to their traditional counterparts. I just use vegan butter and sugar instead of regular ingredients.
Sure! Shoot me an email or find me on Instagram. I'm always happy to try something new!
