Marc Vetri has just put ink to paper to write his third cookbook - a tome devoted to pasta.
The book, which will require a research trip to Italy, will cover artisan makers, factories, doughs, flavoring, shapes, stuffings, combiinations.
"It will be the pasta book to end all pasta books," Vetri said, before a long pause. "I hope."
MS is due a year from now, with a March 2015 pub date.
