About Frankie
I'm a 45-year-old chef, born and bred in a bustling Italian-American neighborhood in Philadelphia, PA. For me, food isn't just fuel; it's the heart of the home, the glue that holds family and friends together, and the best way I know to share a little bit of warmth and happiness. ❤️ I love taking those classic, soul-soothing American comfort food recipes and makin' 'em easy enough for anyone to whip up. So glad you stopped by!
