Cooking with Nonna: Sunday Dinners with La Famiglia

Creative Direction: Rossella Rago and her Nonna Romana have released another cookbook and I couldn’t be more honored to be invited to photograph it! This cookbook is all about Sunday Dinners and it was a true family affair with Nonna rolling pasta, Rossella’s mamma painting props by hand, and her papà bridging the heirloom family furniture. We spent a week photographing and eating the best Italian food. I left set with a full heart (and a stomach full of pasta and espresso ;-).
