Having lived in Italy for a good spell, we thought we knew pasta, but this book totally blew our minds! So many shapes! So many stories! So many awesome recipes! And even if you were completely unfamiliar with the English language and hated pasta (is that even possible?) you still gotta love the gorgeous design of this unique and inspiring book. From the publisher: The Italians have a secret. Over the centuries, they have pioneered more than 300 shapes of pasta, each with a history, a story to tell, and an affinity for particular foods. These shapes have evolved alongside the flavors of local ingredients, and the perfect combination can turn an ordinary dish into something sublime. The Geometry of Pasta pairs more than one hundred authentic recipes from critically acclaimed chef Jacob Kenedy with award-winning designer Caz Hildebrand's stunning black-and-white designs to reveal the science, history, and philosophy behind spectacular pasta dishes from all over Italy. Packaged in a crisply designed black-and-white hardcover (complete with a dust jacket that unfolds into a poster of pasta shapes and patterns), The Geometry of Pasta is a one-of-a-kind cookbook unlike anything you've ever seen! Caz Hildebrand is an award-winning graphic designer who has produced cookbooks for Nigella Lawson, Moro, and other acclaimed chefs. Chef Jacob Kenedy is the co-owner of Bocca di Lupo, which was recently voted London's best restaurant by both Time Out magazine and the Evening Standard. Hardcover, 6.5" x 8.5", 256 pages.
