Who better to learn how to cook with passion than the Pasta Grannies who have dedicated their lives to cooking, family and enjoying together?

Discover Pina's (91) chestnut gnocchi with walnut pesto, lovingly made with ingredients she grows around her home in Liguria; or Marietta's special tagliatelle recipe (99), straight from her vegetable garden in the Calabrian countryside. In addition to recipes for tasty meat dishes, vegetable pasta, delicious pizzas and the tastiest desserts, there is plenty of cooking with seafood, rice and legumes, dairy and herbs, nuts and spices.

Of course there is plenty of attention for the art of making your own pasta. What type of flour do you use? Do you work by hand or with a pasta machine (both are possible!) and what are the ultimate basic recipes.

Pasta Grannies: Comfort Cooking is not only a celebration of cooking together, but also a joyful part of the Italian way of life. In addition, the book contains QR codes to YouTube videos in which the nonnas explain each recipe in detail! Buon appetito!
