Mo Rocca is discovering classic family recipes from grandparents across the country in a new Cooking Channel Series, “My Grandmother’s Ravioli.” Growing up, Rocca cherished Sunday dinner at his grandmother’s house and her special meals like ravioli. But Rocca never learned the recipes. Now, he will travel across the country to different grandparents ‘home to learn a variety of dishes from different cultures including Portuguese, Japanese, and Greek.

In the process he will  hear their stories from their lives and personal tales that can be both inspiring and funny. What began as a tribute to his grandmother has turned into a tribute to good food and traditions that many families enjoy.

What are some of your favorite family recipes?
