About Lisa

Lisa Caponigri, an Italian food and lifestyle expert, cookbook author and television personality had the good fortune of spending hours in the kitchen as a child with her Sicilian grandmother. Lisa learned so many things from her Nana about Italy, family and, of course, Italian food.

True, authentic, Italian recipes come from our grandmothers. It’s the type of food you see at an outdoor Trattoria in a small country town in Italy. It’s the type of food that you see on a grandmother’s Sunday Dinner table in Southern Italy. This is the food Lisa knows is Real Italian. And this is the food she cooks.

In Lisa’s renowned, and best selling cookbook “Whatever Happened to Sunday Dinner?”, Lisa brings these real Italian recipes from both her Sicilian grandmother and Neapolitan grandmother to your table. Her belief that authentic, country, rustic Italian cooking never has more than a few ingredients in each recipe is proven in her flawless simple and delicious recipes.

Having spent many of her childhood and adult years in Italy, and having raised her three children in Tuscany, the importance of Sunday Dinner is an integral part of Lisa’s life.
