Pasta Grannies | Eat Everything: Pasta and Beyond For the Good Life

Every nonna has a lesson to teach, if you know how to ask—and Vicky Bennison has spent years asking. The creator of the beloved Pasta Grannies YouTube channel travels the length of Italy for Eat Everything, gathering 75 new, nonna-approved recipes that range as widely as the country itself: quick dishes with punchy flavors, potato pancakes from the North, slow-cooked ragùs from the South, and plenty of perfect pasta in between.

Their secret to a long, happy life isn't one miracle ingredient — it's eating a little bit of everything, in season, with pleasure. This is the Mediterranean diet as it's actually lived, told through the recipes, stories, and time-honored techniques of the women who know it best. Unfussy, generous, and always made for sharing.
