Local Cooking Sensation Rossella Rago To Hold Demonstration at Presents of Mind

PRINCETON, NJ (November 21, 2016) — On Wednesday, December 7 from 6-8 p.m. at Presents of Mind in Flanders, NJ, cooking sensation Rossella Rago will hold a demonstration of one of her new recipes from her first cookbook that is coming out in March 2017, Cooking with Nonna: Celebrate Food and Family with Over 100 Classic Recipes from Italian Grandmothers.

“Presents of Mind has been a proud and dedicated member of the Flanders community for the past nine years,” said Community Options Managing Director Anderew Park.  “Our primary goals at Presents of Mind are to offer a great selection of gift items to our customers while supporting people with developmental disabilities in an integrated setting.  Presents of Mind is always actively seeking ways to contribute to the local community, and we are very excited to invite everyone to join us at this entertaining event to meet and spend time with Ms. Rossella Rago.”

Rago is the host of the popular web cooking show Cooking With Nonna (www.cookingwithnonna.com), which has nearly 650,000 likes on Facebook and more than 15,000 YouTube subscribers. On the show, Rossella invites an Italian-American nonna to cook with her, sharing traditional Italian recipes and fond memories of childhoods in Italy.

In 2010, Rossella, together with her mother and her Nonna Romana, participated in the “Italiano Battle” episode of the Food Network’s 24 Hour Restaurant Battle.

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 for centuries. Launching Cooking with Nonna has allowed Rossella to expand her culinary expertise to much of the rest of Italy.

Cooking with Nonna is now available for Pre-Orders on the Cooking with Nonna website: http://cookingwithnonna.com/Products/the-cooking-with-nonna-cookbook.html
