Pasta Grannies: The Official Cookbook: The Secrets of Italy's Best Home Cooks Hardcover – Illustrated, October 29, 2019

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.

I’m glad I got the book that helps me better cook proper pasta!

"Pasta Grannies" is the most unusual Italian Cookbook I have ever seen, (now own)! Many recipes for authentic dishes I've had traveling Italy, which are rarely seen Italian Restaurant menus in the U.S., nor in Italian Cookbooks, are here in "Pasta Grannies!"The Grannies ("Nonne" in Italian) describe how to make and prepare the various pastas, then the recipes for the sauces, soups, vegetables, meats and more, which they accompany and are authentic Italian meals.All regions of Italy are included as are all the meals of a day!MANGIA! MANGIA!

The history is important and the stories can grab your heart. They let you know their truth while sharing their treasures. The traditions are held in the honor of their cultural backdrops and often in the context of how to stay alive. It’s just what they do, taking care of the family and often it is Alice long commitment. Everyone has a garden for fresh ingredients with different regions growing special varieties that give each dish a unique flavour. Wheat textures and vegetable chopping are often personal signatures.So have a nice pleasant garden that grows your favorite fresh ingredients and gives you peace when you are in it.Trying everything is the best part along with seeing the Grannies faces as they mentor their wonderful gifts.

I am very pleased with this. I love the family pics and stories along with the recipes. A must for your Italian loving cooks! I’ve ordered 2 as gifts and they were very pleased.

Book is great!

I bought this after watching the YouTube videos of the grannies and I absolutely love it. Great book and I love the stories. It gives so many details and tips to making pasta. I have not tried the recipes yet but look forward to.

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!
