Vicky Bennison: Pasta Grannies

This week, Gilly is talking about Italy through the stories of
its Pasta Grannies with Vicky Bennison


Vicky won a James Beard award in 2020 for her first Pasta
Grannies book based on the super homey Youtube series which has
won the hearts of millions of viewers. Her work in international
development in countries like Russia, South Africa, and
Kazhakstan has given  her an anthropological lens
through which to look at the role of the nonna.


She introduces us to four of the Pasta Grannies through her food
moments, and explains why their stories tell so much more than
how to knead the dough.
