About Rossella Rago

Rossella Rago is an Italian-American cookbook author, host and entrepreneur. She was born and raised in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, to parents who emigrated from Mola di Bari, a small fishing village in Puglia, and grew up deeply rooted in her Italian and American heritage. In “Cooking with Nonna: Sunday Dinners with La Famiglia,” Rossella shares traditional comforting Italian recipes derived from fond memories of living with her nonna and recipes from her travels. While some dishes in the book have authentic Italian roots, most are proudly Italian American – a distinctly unique cuisine that Rossella believes deserves as much praise and attention.
