description: Gabriele Galimberti's beautiful portraits of grandmothers from all over the world posing with their signature dishes remind us that sharing traditions through food is universal.As Gabriele Galimberti was preparing to set off on a trip around the world his Italian grandmother was more concerned about how well he would eat than any risks or mishaps he might face on his travels. As a send-off she prepared his favorite dish Swiss Chard and Ricotta Ravioli with Meat Sauce. He then promised her that he would eat good food wherever he went and while on his trip persuaded grandmothers in 60 countries to cook a meal for him. At each grandmother's table he became her curious and hungry grandson tasting her dish and capturing her pride with his camera. The resulting book's stories recipes and loving photographs pay homage to all grandmothers and their cooking and provides a moving anthropological glimpse into the national palates in faraway places. From a Swedish homemaker and her homemade lox and vegetables to a Zambian villager and her Roasted Spiced Chicken this collection inspires great appreciation for our most cherished family members.
