A little bit more about me
Hi, I’m Mary Licon, the heart behind Recipita!
Back in 2018, when my youngest was still in diapers and life felt like a blur of snack time and laundry, I found myself craving a creative outlet. I’ve always loved experimenting in the kitchen—especially with wholesome, feel-good meals—but it wasn’t until I picked up an old camera that the idea for Recipita truly started to simmer.
Before Recipita, I worked in a small design studio—lots of deadlines, not much space for creativity at home. Eventually, I realized what I really wanted was more time with my family and a way to do something that combined my love for food, photography, and helping others.
So I took a leap of faith and started Recipita—just me, my camera, and a head full of recipe ideas. What began as a tiny side project quickly grew into something bigger than I ever imagined. Now, a few years (and hundreds of recipes!) later, Recipita welcomes millions of visitors each year looking for simple, delicious, and feel-good meals they can trust.
Today, I post new recipes every single day, all tested in my cozy home kitchen in San Francisco, where I live with my husband (who has a background in tech,now helps with the techy side of things) our three kids, two energetic dogs, and a few mischievous cats.
At Recipita, you’ll find everything from cozy weeknight dinners and satisfying breakfasts to vibrant global-inspired dishes. I love creating recipes that fit all kinds of needs—gluten-free, dairy-free, high-protein, quick and easy, and more. Whether you’re vegan, pescetarian, or just someone who loves great food, there’s something here for you.
I’m so grateful for every single person who stops by Recipita. It’s still just me behind the scenes, cooking, photographing, and sharing meals I truly love—and I’m so glad you’re here to enjoy them with me.
With love and good food.
Mary
