Friday, Nov. 6, 2026. 6 p.m.–9 p.m. Nostrana - 1401 Southeast Morrison Street, Portland, OR, 97214. Cost: Starting at $85.00. The In Bocca books are a curious and beautiful collection of 20 Italian cookbooks, each devoted to a different region of Italy.
Originally published in the 1970s, they’re filled with recipes, hand-drawn illustrations, folk art, and wonderfully wonky English translations, offering a glimpse into the food and character of Italy from region to region. Long out of print, they’ve become cult objects for collectors and lovers of Italian food.
