Description

Pasta Grannies: Comfort Cooking by Vicky Bennison is a soulful tribute to the cherished culinary traditions of Italy, bringing together heartfelt recipes and life stories from the country’s beloved nonnas. Based on the globally loved YouTube series Pasta Grannies, this A4-sized cookbook, published by Hardie Grant, is both a celebration of home-cooked comfort and a preservation of Italy’s rich food heritage.

The book features over 80 authentic recipes for pasta, soups, sauces, bakes, and desserts — each lovingly prepared by grandmothers across various regions of Italy. With dishes like tagliatelle al ragù, lasagne, gnocchi, minestrone, and handmade ravioli, every page offers a delicious, deeply personal glimpse into traditional Italian kitchens.

What sets this cookbook apart is its storytelling. Alongside every recipe, you’ll find photographs and anecdotes that connect the dish to the woman behind it — their life, culture, and memories. These aren’t just instructions for food; they are narratives of resilience, family, and the enduring joy of cooking with care.

With stunning photography and expert tips on dough, shaping, and regional variations, Pasta Grannies: Comfort Cooking is a must-have for pasta enthusiasts, home cooks, and anyone who values food made with heart and heritage. It’s more than a cookbook — it’s a warm, flour-dusted journey through Italy’s kitchens.
