A Taste of Tradition

Motivated by great food and living well this month, we feature not one but two inspirational businesses encouraging both young and old to get in the kitchen and cook for those we love!

Cook with Diaspo is a fantastic initiative running live online cooking classes taught by older adult home cooks. For these cooks it’s a chance to improve their well beings while doing something they love. Each cook demonstrates from their home kitchen preserving their culture and traditions by teaching the recipes and techniques passed down through their families.

Pasta Grannies was born when food writer Vicky Bennison travelled the length of Italy with one mission: to save little-known but generations-old pasta recipes from dying out. Hundreds of grannies were filmed crafting pasta most typical of their village or region. These grannies will teach you to make everything from lasagne to busicate via ravioli!
