The Geometry of Pasta Cookbook

One of the Best Italian Pasta Cook Books!

If you love pasta and are passionate about knowing how to use it properly, you’ll love this book.

Over the centuries, the Italians 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 100 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.

This is one of the most interesting Italian cook books you’ll ever come across.

A large part of it deals with de-mystifying how to make pasta, including the best ingredients to use; the benefits of dry versus fresh pasta; and importantly it explains which sauces are best suited to the many different pasta shapes.

It’s peppered with anecdotes, historical facts and regional recipes, and illustrated with eye-catching back and white designs.

This is one of those books you can pick up and find something different to interest you time and again.
