During another browsing session at Waterstones bookshop I came across this small book about pasta. Given that pasta is probably one of the most well know foods in the world (after bread maybe), I decided to buy it and read through it.
Just over half the book is the history of pasta, and that history is presented in a very entertaining way. building up from the pasta (shapes and ingredients), right through to the history of pasta sauces by region. The other half of the book covers recipes and if I’m honest, I have not really gone through the recipes in much detail.
I found the history fascinating, and if like me, you’re interested in the history of what we eat, then this book is highly recommended.
