If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.  

“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”

The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.

Galimberti said many of the subjects for the project were selected serendipitously, picked while he was working on a project about couch surfing that explored the global phenomenon of staying in other people’s houses. Since Galimberti never slept in hotels while working on the project, he was able to come into contact with people who introduced him to grandmothers in the area.

Galimberti acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

man I love this sort of thing. I am always curious to know what other people eat, even when it’s just friends of mine and the answer is probably not that different to what I subsist upon myself (mostly canned soup, tea and satsumas fyi). It’s a strange kind of intimacy I guess, in a TELL ME ABOUT UR PREFERRED STRATEGY FOR FUELLING THAT UNPREDICTABLE MEATSUIT YOU CARRY AROUND sort of way

(I remember a conversation though not who I had it with, about whether it was creepy to order for someone else in a restaurant. I think in the end I decided it was pretty creepy, but there is a part of me that would be touched if they actually got it right) (ftr it’s whatever comes with mashed potato. That is what I want.)

Q:Please don't tell others to calm down when a major corporation is trying to exploit and fucking TRADEMARK their culture. Think before you speak, please, and look up cultural appropriation. Have a lovely day.
