We stumbled across this book during a sidewalk sale in Concord, MA. It was on a folding table in front of Concord Cookware. Of course, we had to go inside, and Alex picked up a few other things, but this book was the gem. “Pasta Modern: New and Inspired Recipes From Italy” by Francine Segan, with photographs by Lucy Schaeffer, is the kind of book we love. It is grounded in history and full of creative ideas and interesting (and well-written) techniques. This is a book to inspire you to get in the kitchen and start cooking.
– Tortelli with a Tail
– Bucatini Dome
– Crunchy Cornmeal-Buckwheat Triangles
– Puglia’s Twirled Pasta with Olives
– Pretty Easter Pie
Just a few pictures of the photos to tease you along. If you want recipes and more involved techniques, you’ll have to get your hands on a copy. If you love pasta, you should definitely try to find one.
