The Cooking With Nonna website was created by people who want to share the time honoured tradition of passing down recipes from generation to generation. Commemorating Nonnes all over for their amazing culinary skills and abilities. Rossella is the host of the website and the face you see on the Cooking With Nonna website, who began her passion for Italian cuisine from a young age helping out her own Nonna and family in the kitchen, wanting to learn all there was to learn. Rossella wanted all the Nonnes to have a place to pass down their recipes for future generations to learn and pass down so that the tradition of Italian cooking doesn't fade away.

Rossella is also the host of the all new online cooking show and food webisode series of the same name, Cooking with Nonna. Rossella was born into a family of cooks and food lovers. In her house there was always something on the stove. Rossella is a first generation Italian American from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, with her roots being from Mola di Bari, a small fishing village known as Mola in Italy where her parents were born.
