I am an economist by profession, but my heart always lead me to the kitchen. I grew up in a family where feeding a capricious child was a headache for two grandmothers. My great-grandmother was Ukrainian. She cooked marvelously and had amazing taste.

Lots of food were prepared at home every day with the hope that maybe any of them would be desirable for me. Every morning she used to prepare my favorite pancakes, which I never got bored of. Of course, I was always involved in the preparation process. This is when my great love and interest in cooking started.

I am a maximalist in reality and I decided to study this profession at a higher level. I entered the Georgian Culinary Academy, with a specialization in confectionery, where I acquired great   knowledge and experience. This further deepened my interest and desire to learn more and more in this field and achieve the desired goal.

On insistence of my friends, just a few months ago I established a company – Frangipane, where consumers can taste the highest quality confectionery. At this stage, desserts can only be purchased online, however I have big plans ahead and hopefully the space of my dreams will be opened soon.” - Nino Mgeladze.
