Pasta Grannies
May 22, 2018 by JennyMeet Vicky Bennison, the founder of the Pasta
Grannies. While Vicky was researching Italian food for a
project, she discovered beautiful nonnas, ranging from the age of
49 through 95 and beyond, who were still creating beautiful
hand-made pasta.
She made it her mission to preserve this dying art with a
website and a Youtube channel devoted to teaching these
unique dishes with videos. Their introduction video came across my timeline and
I had to learn more.
Update: Vicky’s book Pasta
Grannies: The Secret’s of Italy’s Best Home Cooks will be
published by Hardie Grant on September 17, 2019. You may preorder
the US
version and the UK
version.
While I’m buried in May’s monthly cookbook roundup, I wanted to
take a moment and share Vicky’s work with you. I’ve subscribed to
the channel and, of course, have already written Vicky in the hopes
that she is working on a step-by-step cookbook devoted to these
ladies and their unique pasta. While waiting for a response, I came
across a post that confirmed a book is in the works. Praise the
flour and pass the pasta! Take a look at the incredible
blog posts that introduce the dishes demonstrated in the
videos.
Subscribe to the YouTube channel and follow these beautiful
women who know more about Italian cooking than some of the finest
chefs.
Vicky, thank you for bringing these wonderful women and their
pasta into our kitchens. I am, for one, am grateful that their
stories and dishes will be preserved for generations to
come.
