The book

The gorgeous evolution of the award-winning pasta blog www.pastaetal.com, Pasta et al: The Many Shapes of a Family Tradition is beautiful enough to sit on your coffee table but will probably live on your kitchen bench instead. It contains recipes for 30 different doughs (including gluten free!), 42 different shapes, and 60 different sauces, with stunning photography and step-by-step tutorials of all of it. It’s fun, informative, full of heart, and a must-read for anyone who loves food, family, and pasta.

NB: For those who don’t already know, Alec (@pastaetal, maker of the best pasta in the world and the author of this beautiful book) is the handsome other half of Rachel (@fortytwocakes), so this gift bundle is truly a gift from our family to yours. Both the pasta and the book were created with our two little munchkins underfoot, and it is a wonderful invitation to get your loved ones in the kitchen and involved in making food together.

Your copy will come signed by Alec, and with a personalised message for your gift recipient if you like - please leave the message you would like in the “Notes” section on your order.
