Vicky Bennison is the brains behind the YouTube show “Pasta Grannies.” The tradition of handmade pasta is declining in Italy, where Bennison makes her home part of the year. So she decided to start filming the grandmothers who are still painstakingly making pasta by hand.
Her show has resonated with viewers, to the tune of 400,000 subscribers. Later this month, Bennison will release a cookbook by the same name.
