Perfect for you if...

You want to master authentic Italian cooking but find most cookbooks too technical or inauthentic for your taste.
You're drawn to cookbooks that blend recipes with real family stories and cultural context, not just ingredient lists.
You enjoy the Cooking with Nonna web series and want to recreate those meals at home with guidance from the nonnas themselves.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer modern fusion cuisine or cooking that strays from traditional Italian techniques and flavours.
You're looking for quick weeknight meals rather than weekend projects like homemade pasta and braciole that require time and care.
You need detailed nutritional information or dietary variations, as this book focuses on classic recipes without those modifications.

About this book

Cooking with Nonna is Rossella Rago's debut cookbook, based on her web TV series of the same name. The book explores Italian cooking through the lens of family, community, and tradition, drawing on Rago's childhood experience cooking with her Nonna Romana in Puglia. The cookbook features over 100 classic Italian recipes collected from 25 Italian-American grandmothers featured in Rago's web series. Recipes span appetizers, soups, salads, pasta, meats, breads, cookies, and desserts, with examples including Sicilian Rice Balls, Fried Calamari, Stuffed Artichokes, Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe, Veal Stew in a Polenta Bowl, Struffoli, Ricotta Cookies, Homemade Pasta, Handcrafted Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Four-Cheer Lasagna. Each recipe includes step-by-step instructions and photographs. The book also contains advice and stories from the featured grandmothers, offering insight into regional Italian cooking traditions.
