Cathy Whims has been pivotal in shaping Portland's Italian cuisine since the 1990s, beginning with her acclaimed restaurant, Genoa. Subsequently, she founded Nostrana, a hallmark of Italian dining known for its exquisite pastas and pizzas. As she celebrates Nostrana’s 20th anniversary, Whims is expanding her repertoire by publishing her first cookbook, "The Italian Summer Kitchen: Timeless Recipes for La Dolce Vita." Featuring charming watercolor illustrations instead of photographs, this cookbook aims for simplicity and accessibility, reflecting her lifelong journey in Italian cooking, with an easy-to-follow format perfect for casual cooking at vacation spots.
I wanted it to be a Nostrana cookbook, but it evolved over time into something more encompassing. I wanted to capture the essence of Italian cooking.
