SCOTTSDALE, AZ (AZFamily) — At BEG Bakery and Creamery and PARM Italia, the owners love great food and acronyms! BEG stands for butter-free, egg-free, gluten-free, and PARM Italia represents the phrase “plants are restorative medicine.”

Rich and Michelle Bonura say they have a heart for serving people. From the time they met, they have worked as entrepreneurs to bring a unique dining experience to all of their customers.

The plant-based focus developed after Rich was diagnosed with an auto-immune-related disease. He was bedridden for eight months and started researching a plant-based lifestyle to help his health.

Michelle’s sister, a baker, knew Rich has a sweet tooth and started bringing some plant-based treats that were quick crowd-pleasers. The Bonuras worked to create a bakery and Italian food concept that offers all traditional tastes and textures with plant-based and gluten-free ingredients.
