Brianna Gallo's journey with food started at a young age. With the help of her Italian grandmother, she learned recipes that had been maintained and passed down to her as a child. Upon moving to California, she explored gluten-free cooking and veganism. Fast forward to today, Chef Brianna Gallo founded PLVNT as a result of her love of art and food. With healthy, artistically driven creations, Brianna specializes in plant-based cuisine.
