Rossella Rago

Rossella Rago is the author of Cooking with Nonna , a cookbook inspired by her experiences cooking with her grandmother and other Italian nonnas.

Rago grew up in Brooklyn's Italian-American community, where she learned traditional recipes and techniques.

She later turned this knowledge into a television show called "Cooking With Nonna," where she cooks alongside Italian grandmothers.

The success of the show led to the creation of her cookbook, which features over 100 recipes from various nonnas.

Rago's goal is to preserve and share authentic Italian family recipes, as well as the stories and traditions behind them.

Her approach combines nostalgia, family history, and accessible cooking instructions.
