A vivid fine-art photograph bathed in golden-hour light: a floured wooden board at the centre of an Italian kitchen table, one carefully twirled nest of tagliatelle resting on it. A bowl of spaghetti with fresh basil leaves, ripe tomatoes and garlic cloves sits beside a tall bottle of olive oil. Warm low sun rakes across the grain of the wood and catches the sheen of the pasta strands.
