Gabriele Galimberti, an Italian photographer, was inspired by his grandmother’s love and care when she prepared his favorite dish before he left on his journey around the world. This sparked an idea to seek out grandmothers from around the globe and document their signature dishes in a stunning photography series. Over the course of his travels, Gabriele met with about 100 grandmothers in sixty countries, learned their best recipes, and captured their portraits alongside their delicious dishes.

The resulting book, “In Her Kitchen,” published in 2014, is a tribute to grandmothers and their love for cooking. The series celebrates the international language of food and family, showcasing the unique cultural traditions and flavors that grandmothers bring to their cooking. Each portrait in the book is accompanied by an easy-to-follow recipe and an image of the final dish, illustrating the care and pride that grandmothers put into their cooking. “In Her Kitchen” is a beautiful testament to the power of food to bring people together, and the love that grandmothers infuse into every meal.
