Trade Review"Spend a little time with
Sauces and Shapes and instead of asking why anyone might need yet another pasta cookbook, you might find yourself wondering why you would keep all those others." -- Russ Parsons - Los Angeles Times
"Revelation lies between these covers…This book is as much a fascinating lesson in Italian character as it is generous with dishes rarely tasted beyond their home kitchens." -- Lynne Rossetto Kasper, host of American Public Media’s The Splendid Table®
"
Sauces & Shapes could well be the book that retires all other pasta books…The table of contents alone reads like the most tantalizing trattoria menu from which you just can’t decide which dish to order." -- Danny Meyer, author of Setting the Table
"Zanini De Vita and Fant’s
Sauces & Shapes accomplishes the impressive feat of presenting a thoroughly Italian perspective on pasta in a package that all American cooks can use and understand." -- Mitchell Davis, executive vice president of the James Beard Foundation and author of Kitchen Sense
"If you like Italian cooking,
Sauces & Shapes will become a timeless, cherished companion." -- Amanda Hesser, cofounder of Food52 and the author of The Essential New York Times Cookbook
"This book is meant to help those outside of Italy cook like Italians." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
