Letter: Kitchen science

Published 16 November 2011

From Amanda Randall

George Legendre wishes there was a book which dealt with pasta seasonings as rigorously as his own mathematical study of pasta shapes (15 October, p 48). He might be interested in the culinary book The Geometry of Pasta by Caz Hildebrand and Jacob Kenedy (Quirk Books, 2010).

The jacket flap states: “There are over 300 shapes of pasta, each of which has… an affinity with particular foods.”
