This is terrific. It's such a good book... it covers struggles and realness. It's not just beautiful tomatoes in the French market... it really has a theme of discovery, a theme of heartbreak... Ted Danson's essay really touched me.

I mean @missyarobbins and @TaliaBaiocchi book, Pasta, is an instant classic. It's useful, it's complicated, it dives into regional Italy with photos and stories that makes you want to hit Google Flights hard. Missy has long been a fav interview. https://tastecooking.com/45-pasta-shapes-and-counting/
