34 Grandmothers Around The World And What They Cook

This wonderful photography project comes from Gabriele Galimberte. The project introduction reads as follows: Gabriele Galimberti pays homage to all the grandmothers in the world and to their love for good cooking, starting from his own very Tuscan grandmother Marisa who, before the departure for his tour around the world by couchsurfing, took care to prepare her renowned “ravioli ripieni.” She was not so concerned about the possible risks or mishaps her grandson might face in his adventurous travelling worldwide, but her major concern was, “what will he eat”? We absolutely love this photo collection, and are running our own competition at the moment called My Nana Says, all about Grandma's and their food wisdoms.
