Inspired by the hugely popular YouTube channel of the same name, Pasta Grannies: The Official Cookbook is a wonderful collection of time-perfected Italian recipes from the people who have spent a lifetime cooking for love, not a living: Italian grandmothers. Featuring over 80 easy and accessible recipes from all over Italy, you will be transported into the very heart of the Italian home to learn how to make great-tasting Italian food. Pasta styles range from pici a type of hand-rolled spaghetti that is simple to make to lumachelle della duchessa tiny, ridged, cinnamon-scented tubes that take patience and dexterity.
