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.
