Meet Angie – OWNER/FOUNDER

I am Angie, the passionate home cook behind The Bella Vita blog.

My love for cooking blossomed in my small Sicilian hometown, where I grew up watching my father run

his traditional cafe, and my mother prepare magnificent homemade dishes. 

Another thing that increased my love of cooking was the cookbooks my father bought.

To this day when I go home to Sicily, I still spend hours rereading cookbooks always to find new inspiration.

After professional school, I honed my skills working in the kitchens of restaurants in my city before moving to Malta and starting an office career.

But my true calling remained cooking.

Through my office job, I met my life and travel partner. 

Together we traveled a lot, the journey that inspired The Bella Vita was our long trip to Asia.

As an experienced home cook, I specialize in the simple flavors of my Italian roots.

There is always an Italian touch in my recipes.

After cooking school in Thailand, Asian cuisine also became a specialty of mine; you will always find ginger and soy sauce in my pantry.

I am also obsessed with the air fryer, a fantastic modern tool I have incorporated into my everyday cooking.

That’s why you will also find many recipes using the air fryer.
