Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti traveled to more than 50 countries and met nearly 100 grandmothers. The project 'IN HER KITCHEN', born from a promise to his own grandmother when he left Italy, is a book documenting recipes full of love for grandchildren across every continent. Released to celebrate International Women's Day, the work proves the enduring power and love of grandmothers around the world.
Each portrait captures grandmothers holding fresh ingredients alongside their lovingly prepared dishes. In Bangkok, Thailand, grandmother Kai Yat Sai prepared a meal of rice and red beans, fried banana plantains, and chicken. In Wada Achi Beriut, Lebanon, grandmother Mjadara completed a dish made of rice and lentils cream. Every kitchen became a stage showcasing the ingredients and traditions of each country.
Through this work, Galimberti documented the love women across all continents pour into their families. Grandmothers speak different languages, but their hearts for grandchildren are the same everywhere. Food is not just a meal, it is the language of love connecting generations. He captured each grandmother's recipe in photographs and compiled them into a book.
The project was released on International Women's Day. The warmth and wisdom of grandmothers remain with us across time and space. What dish did your grandmother make for you most often?
