About cook with anana

The food feels familiar because it is.

Cook with anana is a newsletter about learning to cook like you mean it - built on the belief that the best food is taught, not bought.

Here, we’re not chasing trends or hacks. We’re preserving the recipes that have stood the test of time. The ones your grandmother never wrote down but somehow always got right.

Every week, we bring you stories and recipes from nonnas all across Italy who have been making their signature dishes for decades. It’s the kind of wisdom you can’t Google, the tips, the rituals, the gentle guilt trips that come with learning the “right” way to make ragù or roll gnocchi.
