Vicky Bennison's Delicious Italian Home Cooking: Recipes from the Pasta Grannies Cookbook

Sara from Kentucky: 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.

pocketmonkey: I bought this recipe book hoping to find generational knowledge in the making of pasta. I believe there is some of that in this book, ranging from divers range of pasta dough recipes and shapes with sauces. Definite must have for those who are looking for authenticity as opposed to the ignorant uppity standard recipes.

Gaudilady: This is a good cookbook BUT it’s written for Europeans and uses measurements and flours that we don’t use in the US. So it’s a bit costlier here. ‘Alexa’ adjusts the measurements for me. Some of the ‘gravy’s’ or ‘sauces’ use rabbit which is not readily available here either. But overall the recipes are very good. I much prefer homemade pasta to store bought dried. This brings it home the way it should be. And it’s so easy to make too!

khatija hafesji: This is a great book if you: (i) like pasta (baffled by those complaining that this book is about pasta... clue is in the title); (ii) don't mind cooking from scratch to eat food you just can't get in most restaurants; (iii) have some basic pasta skills.

I've made pasta before so I was fine following the instructions. If you haven't, photography is no substitute for watching people do it (that's how every pasta granny learnt to make pasta after all), so just go on the youtube videos and watch people do it. The fact that there is an amazing supplementary youtube channel associated with this book is not a reason to downgrade it, it's a reason to upgrade it. And no, the youtube channel is not a substitute for the book - the book contains the quantities and descriptions, the videos just show you how it's done if you need the extra help.

I use the book for reference if I have an ingredient I want to use for dinner, and everything I have cooked has come out really well. There are really good regional recipes in here that would take most of us a lifetime of travel to discover, and it's a brilliant concept to preserve those recipes in an age where the global food industry...
