The great mathematical beauty of pasta. Pasta By Design: The Hidden Side Of Pasta Shapes
Created by a team
of designers, 'Pasta by Design' book reveals the hidden mathematical
beauty of pasta: its geometrical shapes and surfaces are explained by
mathematical formulae, drawings and illustrations
First things first, this is not a cookbook. Instead, Pasta by Design
aims to show a ‘totally fresh and idiosyncratic look at pasta’. The
book profiles 92 kinds of pasta, explaining the origins, the way its
made, how to prepare them perfectly and renders each one into an
equation. It’s the sort of book we never knew we needed until now.
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.
