Pasta Grannies Share Their Authentic Italian Secrets with Vicky Bennison

NorthwestPrime

NWP welcomes Vicky Bennison! Inspired by the hugely popular YouTube channel of the same name, Pasta Grannies is a wonderful collection of time-perfected Italian recipes from the people who have spent a lifetime cooking for love, not a living: Italian grandmothers. "When you have good ingredients, you don't have to worry about cooking. They do the work for you." – Lucia, 85 Featuring over 80 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. Pasta styles range 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. More than just a compendium of dishes, Pasta Grannies tells the extraordinary stories of these ordinary women and shows you that with the right know how, truly authentic Italian cooking is simple, beautiful and entirely achievable.https://www.pastagrannies.com The Pasta Grannies project is Vicky Bennison. Vicky spent many years working in international development in places like Siberia, South Africa, and Turkmenistan. The next decent meal was always on her mind and she began writing about her culinary adventures: mushroom hunting with the Russian mafia and cooking zebra stew in near Lake Turkana in Kenya are just two examples. Vicky progressed to writing books. 'The Taste of a Place' food guides told you where to find good food and wine in Corfu, Mallorca and Andalucia. She and her husband, Billy, have a home in Le Marche, central Italy, and divide time between there & London
