With over a million followers, #PastaGrannies might look like a charming YouTube cooking project. But it’s also something much deeper: an archive of embodied knowledge.

As Vicky Bennison films elderly women across Italy making pasta by hand, what emerges isn’t just a record of techniques. "These women are revealing a knowledge that has become inseparable from their bodies. Their hands don’t follow instructions. They know", writes Victoria Mummelthei at #NoDiscipline 👇

Any time I watch a #PastaGrannies episode and they manage to go through the whole episode without using animal products in the final dish (as far as I can tell) I add it to my "Pasta Grannies but Vegan" playlist. It's painful how often it gets so, so close but they'll add a little cheese right at the end. One of my favorites, which I've made a few times already, is tagliatelle with borlotti bean, carrot and fennel #Italian #Vegan #MediterraneanCuisine
