In a keepsake volume, Gabriele Galimberti’s beautiful portraits of grandmothers from all over the world with their signature recipes illustrates the universal language of food and family.
On the eve of a photography trip around the world, Gabriele Galimberti sat down to dinner with his grandmother Marisa. As she had done so many times before, she prepared his favorite ravioli. The care with which she prepared this meal, and the pride she took in her dish, led Gabriele to seek out grandmothers and their signature dishes in the sixty countries he visited.
These vibrant and intimate profiles and photographs pay homage to grandmothers and their cooking everywhere. From a Swedish housewife and her homemade lox and vegetables to a Zambian villager and her Roasted Spiced Chicken, this collection features a global palate: included are hand-stuffed empanadas from Argentina, twice-fried pork and vegetables from China, slow-roasted ratatouille from France, and a decadent toffee trifle from the United States. In Her Kitchen is an evocative, loving portrait of these cherished family members and the ways they return that affection–no matter where in the world you sit down for dinner.

Its a very sweet, unique book I purchased this book as a gift for my mom. Its a very sweet, unique book. I looked through the whole book before I gave it to her. It was so neat to see how people eat all around the world. The ingredients they use. Also, very neat to look at all the pictures in the book of all the different kitchens women cook in around the world.
Great way for kids to diversify their palates and learn … Our family loves this book. my wife cooks meals from here and before we eat we read the story about the food we are eating. Great way for kids to diversify their palates and learn about other cultures.
Five Stars Perfect gift for my mom.
