SAVING TRADITIONS AND SHARING SKILLS, ONE GRANNY AT A TIME!

"When you have good ingredients, you don't have to worry about cooking. They do the work for you." – Lucia, 85

Learn how to make pasta like Italian nonnas do. Inspired by the hugely popular YouTube channel of the same name, Pasta Grannies is a wonderful collection of time-perfected Italian pasta recipes from the people who have spent a lifetime cooking for love, not a living: Italian grandmothers.

For a nonna, love is putting food on the table, and pasta is the perfect vehicle to make precious ingredients go further. Featuring easy and accessible recipes from all over Italy, you will be transported into the very heart of the Italian home to learn how to make great-tasting Italian food. From pici – a type of hand-rolled spaghetti that is simple to make – to lumachelle della duchessa – tiny, ridged, cinnamon-scented tubes that take patience and dexterity, every nonna has her own special recipe. Pasta Grannies brings together the huge diversity of these authentic dishes and also celebrates the expertise, life and extraordinary stories of the amazing women behind them.

I love this book for its Italian recipes and heart warming personal stories. Pasta Grannies gathers authentic pasta recipes from all over the country. It is a national treasure for the history it imparts thanks to the author, Vicky Bennison and each of the contributors for their oral histories.

I really love this cookbook. The recipes are the type that you'd find if you traveled to Italy and had a meal with an Italian family. Also, you'll find recipes you don't seen in most Italian cookbooks, but are mainstream enough that you know what they are. Delicious!

I stumbled upon Pasta Grannies YouTube page about a month ago and fell in love instantly with these women. When I realized there was cookbook I ordered immediately. My cookbook arrived a few days ago and I couldn't be happier. I collect cookbooks and this is will definitely go in the favorite cabinet. My favorite part of the book is the short but intimate look at the lives of some of these grannies. This book is beautifully done and I can't wait to cook my first recipe. I'm excited to have YT channel to reference when I get ready to roll the pasta. The recipe conversions are listed and don't look difficult and the pictures are beautiful. My husband is Italian and Sunday's are our pasta days and has been for almost 30 years. We're both anxiously awaiting this upcoming Sunday as we will both be in the kitchen hand rolling our dough and trying one of the many recipes we've picked out as a must try. I will update this review after I've tried a few of the recipes.

This book is so great for anyone - especially those with italian roots, looking to up their cooking skills!! I have always followed the pasta grannies youtube channel and have been cooking for 20+ years. This book is awesome because it details the background of each type of pasta, provides a recipe (includes measurements in grams, cups, and oz. (very helpful because a lot of European cookbooks are only in grams), and in depth instructions. It's very visibly pleasing and so fantastic to have all these recipes continue to be passed down from generation to generation. There are so many different types of pasta to choose from and many are very easy. There's also great detailed instructions on how to make pasta from scratch, which is a fun challenge. I hope that I become more efficient and I am able to learn these recipes and pass them on to my grand children!

I loved the book and these women who clearly know their way around pasta dishes. These women lived through World War 2 so they are individuals who survived difficult times. These recipes are really hands on productions but for those occasions when you have some helping hands, it will be the star of the meal. Also most dishes would freeze quite well. I have another book on regional Italian. Loki g and it ain’t all spaghetti and pizza…..this book can introduce you to some great new regional dishes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2022

This is a great book if you: (i) like pasta (baffled by those complaining that this book is about pasta... clue is in the title); (ii) don't mind cooking from scratch to eat food you just can't get in most restaurants; (iii) have some basic pasta skills.

I've made pasta before so I was fine following the instructions. If you haven't, photography is no substitute for watching people do it (that's how every pasta granny learnt to make pasta after all), so just go on the youtube videos and watch people do it. The fact that there is an amazing supplementary youtube channel associated with this book is not a reason to downgrade it, it's a reason to upgrade it. And no, the youtube channel is not a substitute for the book - the book contains the quantities and descriptions, the videos just show you how it's done if you need the extra help.

I use the book for reference if I have an ingredient I want to use for dinner, and everything I have cooked has come out really well. There are really good regional recipes in here that would take most of us a lifetime of travel to discover, and it's a brilliant concept to preserve those recipes in an age where the global food industry has homogenised foods.

I've already pre-ordered the second book!
