The Italians have a secret . . .

There are said to be over 300 shapes of pasta, each of which has a history, a story to tell, and an affinity with particular foods. These shapes have evolved alongside the flavours of local ingredients, and the perfect combination can turn an ordinary dish into something sublime.

The Geometry of Pasta pairs over 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.

A striking fusion of design and food, The Geometry of Pasta tells you everything you need to know about cooking and eating pasta like an Italian.

Designer and publisher CAZ HILDEBRAND is well known as the designer of sumptuous bestselling cookbooks by Nigella Lawson and Moro. JACOB KENEDY is the co-owner of Bocca di Lupo, recently voted London's best restaurant by both Time Out and the Evening Standard.
