An Afternoon with Pasta Grannies: Eat Everything

Discover the secrets of Italian home cooking from the grandmothers who do it best, using all of nature’s larder. This is the joy of real Italian food, just like the nonnas make. Vicky Bennison, creator of the beloved Pasta Grannies YouTube channel, travels across Italy to meet real Italian nonnas, and share the secrets of their delicious, traditional cooking. The 75 new, nonna-approved recipes range from quick dishes with punchy flavours to potato pancakes from the North, and slow-cooked ragus from the South. The nonnas' wisdom shines through both their words and their food. Their philosophy for a happy and healthy life is to a eat a bit of everything: fresh vegetables, pulses, potatoes, meat, fish, rice and – of course – perfect pasta. Inside you’ll discover:
Classic Italian pasta recipes and regional specialties
Time-honoured cooking techniques from Italian grandmothers
The stories and traditions behind Italy’s most beloved dishes
The flavours of the Mediterranean diet, known for its balance, freshness, and health benefits
This beautiful collection captures the heart of Italian food, and Italy itself. Bring the warmth of an Italian kitchen into your home, where every meal is made with love, shared generously, and enjoyed together.
