Non-Fiction Cooking / Food
An in-depth investigation of a beloved food, a celebration
of the complexity of simple pleasures, and a delight for
everyone who eats pasta.
Everyone loves pasta, but despite myriad cookbooks no one
has ever seen the world’s favorite food presented like this.
Created by a team of obsessive designers, this unique book
reveals the hidden mathematical beauty that cooks across the
globe have taken for granted since Marco Polo. Pasta’s wonderful, sometimes whimsical, geometrical shapes
and surfaces are designed to hold certain sauces or
accompaniments, to be beautiful yet functional. Here are
over ninety forms of pasta, each shown through especially
commissioned photographs, mathematical formulae that
accurately describe each shape, and drawings that reveal the
hidden genius of our everyday food. Brief texts describe the
special attributes of each form of pasta, along with advice
on specific uses in cooking. 90 full-color photographs and
200 black-and-white illustrations
