Napoli in Bocca Cookbook

Description
The “In Bocca” series is a rare, strange, & wonderful collection that was published by Il Vespro in Palermo, Italy, in 1976. The set consists of 20 corrugated cardboard bound books each celebrating a different region of Italy which each individual author’s recipes are fiercely loyal to. Filled with beautiful illustrations from local artists, historical woodcarvings, poetry, & history, they are more like encyclopedias than cookbooks. The recipes inside vary from well known classics to obscure, time forgotten, clandestine dishes & are written not only in Italian & English, but some in regional dialect which is all but lost in the modern age.
- Napoli in Bocca- Napoli (Naples), a city in southern Italy, sits on the Bay of Naples. Nearby is Mount Vesuvius, the still-active volcano that destroyed nearby Roman town Pompeii. Recipes in this particular cookbook are loyal to this region
- Book is a collectors item- handle with care
