To Rossella Rago, host of Cooking with Nonna, Italian cooking was never just about the amazing food or Sunday dinner; it was also about family, community, and tradition. Rossella grew up cooking with her Nonna Romana every Sunday, where she learned the traditional recipes of the Italian region of Puglia like Focaccia Bread, Pizza Rustica, and Zucchine alla Poverella. And in her popular web TV series, Cooking with Nonna, Rossella invites many Italian-American grandmothers to cook with her, learning the classic dishes and flavors of each region of Italy and sharing them with eager fans all over the world.

Now you can take a culinary journey with Rossella from Italy to America with her debut cookbook Cooking with Nonna, featuring over 100 classic Italian recipes and advice and stories from 25 beloved Italian grandmothers. Learn to make your own fresh homemade pasta, handcrafted Spaghetti with Meatballs, and rich Four-Cheese Lasagna that will have everyone coming back for seconds!

Includes appetizers, soups, salads, pasta, meats, cookies, and desserts, and features favorites like Sicilian Rice Balls, Fried Calamari, Stuffed Artichokes, Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe, Veal Stew in a Polenta Bowl, Struffoli, Ricotta Cookies and more! So, if you are ready to bring back Sunday dinner and learn how to make Italian food just like nonna, then look no further!
