October is Italian-American Heritage month, and long time readers will know that each year around this time we set aside our usual continental Italian fare to feature a dish from the Italian diaspora.

Welcome to Memorie di Angelina!

I’m Frank. I’m an international lawyer by day, but when I get home at night, I like nothing better than to cook. I’ve always loved to cook, ever since I was barely tall enough to peer over the top of a stove. Cooking is the best way I know to unwind from a stressful day’s work. And sharing the dishes I make is a profound way to connect with friends and loved ones.
