In this next title in her best-selling series of books, Bennison, creator of the successful YouTube channel Pasta Grannies and host of The Pasta Grannies podcast, has traveled across Italy to meet real Italian grandmothers and share their delicious, traditional cooking. Featuring more than seventy all-new recipes, this mouthwatering journey around the Italian countryside reveals the best local dishes, each full of flavor, from the creamy risottos of the north to the rich, slow-cooked ragus of the south. The easy-to-follow techniques have been passed down through generations, and each dish has an emphasis on simple, seasonal ingredients such as fresh, locally sourced vegetables, pulses, meat, and of course! a touch of pasta. This beautiful book captures not only the food of Italy but also a sense of place and its people who are renowned for their longevity due to their healthy Mediterranean diet. Made in time-honored ways, these dishes bring people together, showcasing the joy of authentic Italian cooking and making every meal an experience to be savored and shared.
