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.

He 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.

Ce que mangent des familles moyennes dans différents pays par semaine…
Quelques photos issues du livre “Hungry Planet: What the World Eats” (disponible seulement en anglais).
Par ordre des photos :
- France : eau minérale en bouteille et Nutella dans le fond.
- Tchad : quelle différence avec le reste des autres pays, même avec ceux en voie de développement…
- Italie : pain + pâtes mais restent minces.
- Etats-Unis : pas trop de surprise de leur part, bonjour le nombre de déchets d’emballages…
- Mexique : mangent plein de fruits et légumes mais devraient arrêter les sodas…
- Turquie : je pensais que les français étaient fans de pain mais en fait non.  
- Chine : plus un pays se développe, plus les gens consomment des produits emballés apparemment.
- Équateur : vive les bananes !
- Inde : vive les chapattis et les plats faits maison. 
- Allemagne : bouteilles en verre consignées car plus écolos que les français. Mais bonjour le nombre de bières !
