So if you've been keeping your eye out for a go to appetizer, or maybe you just see artichokes at your local supermarket and have been wondering how to incorporate them into your families diet, then this recipe is for you. The Cooking with Nonna website was greater by Rossella Rago, who grew up around the cooking of her Italian grandmother, aunts and her own mother. She was always helping in the kitchen wherever and whenever she possibly could, and eventually she developed a passion for Italian cooking. She also was an actress and TV spokes person, so she took her love of being on screen, and combined it with her love for cooking and her desire to share all of the amazing Italian family recipes with the world. So, she created her food blog website Cooking with Nonna! It is such a great site that allows people from all over the world, to share their own Italian recipes that have been passed down from Nonna to all of the family members. What a beautiful website to create in honour of these legendary recipes!
