Rossella, a graduate of St. John's University, has traveled the country and performed cooking demonstrations in numerous cities across the United States with local nonne as her partners.
Rossella spent her childhood in the kitchen with her maternal Nonna Romana, learning the long legacy of recipes from Puglia passed down through the generations. Launching Cooking with Nonna TV has allowed Rossella to expand her culinary expertise to much of the rest of Italy too.
