the pasta cookbooks
you've never been
able to buy
Pasta & Magic: Oil Sauces is the first of a uniquely curated four-part pasta cookbook series from me, home cook Mark Gowen. Pasta & Magic is designed to be the best pasta cookbook I've never been able to buy; a unique collection of Oil, Pesto, Dairy and Tomato pasta sauces that you won't find anywhere else.
Pasta & Magic is an Italian cookbook written by a home cook for other home cooks and all the photographs are pictures I've taken in my own home in South London.
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.
