about | Pasta and Magic

What have I got?

I've got over 50 years' experience of eating.

And I'm a home cook, maybe just like you

I'm also 50% Italian and over the years I've spent a great deal of time in Italy. It's fair to say that pasta and me are very good friends.

Now I've decided that it's time to put all of that to good use and write a cookbook.

the pasta cookbook you've never been able to buy

The Pasta & Magic series of books have turned out to be the pasta recipe books I've never been able to buy myself - the classic dishes that everyone wants to cook side by side contemporary recipes and ingredients, all sorted in a unique way that makes getting inspiration for your own meals incredibly easy.

absolutely anyone can cook like this

All the recipes you see in Pasta & Magic are real meals I've cooked for my own family.

No professional chefs or stylists, just me in a domestic kitchen, photographing the pasta I've cooked, moments before eating it with my family.

If I can cook like this, so can you.

I bet you you've never thought about pasta like this before

The Pasta & Magic series is based on the idea that the universe contains only 4 different types of pasta sauce. Honestly. Every dish you could think of is built on either an Oil, Pesto, Dairy or Tomato sauce.

And thinking of pasta recipes in terms of what type of sauce they are makes it much easier to find inspiration for what to cook, with whatever ingredients you have.

You can buy the first of the Pasta & Magic series, Oil Sauces, right now.
