The Geometry of Pasta

The Geometry of Pasta from Pan Marketing on Vimeo.

Are you lacking an Italian in your life? Ever wonder what all those amazing pasta shapes are for, and why choosing a certain shape over another matters? I certainly am, and have. Thankfully there’s a decoder cookbook, full of gorgeous black and white illustrations that appeal to my graphic designer sensibilities. The Perfect Shape + the Perfect Sauce = The Geometry of Pasta, written by Jacob Kennedy and illustrated by Caz Hildebrand, out on Boxtree. Available in the U.S. from independent Phillie publisher, Quirk Books, at Amazon. [via Kitsune Noir]
Also, be sure to look for Caz and Jacob on The Martha Stewart Show, to be aired on October 14th and October 15th.
