Vicky Bennison: Eat Everything

October 8, 2026 · 27 min

Show notes

In the last of our mini series of speakers from BrightonFoodStory, the food festival Gilly produced this year in her home town which is aimed at changing the conversation about the way we eat, we’re with Vicky Bennison, the James Beard award-winning author of Pasta Grannies: Eat Everything.


Vicky was at BrightonFoodStory last weekend to talk about nonnamaxxing, the Instagram trend of yearning for the slower, simpler, more resilient way of the grandmother. You can find out more @BrightonFoodStory on Instagram and Substack.


Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites and a recipe from Eat Everything.
