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.

Kyungsoo’s Kimchi Spaghetti!
Here’s the recipe for all exotics who’ve been wondering what kimchi spaghetti actually looks like/tastes like- make it yourself and try! It’s really similar to plain spaghetti, but the kimchi gives it a tangy and slightly spicy kick that makes it super, super delicious. I used this interview as reference.(note: I chose to add extra vegetables, which add extra steps, but it makes the whole result a lot more delicious and healthy!)
thank the lord for kyungsoo

it’s turkey bacon, baby roma tomatoes, lettuce, a tiny bit of mayo, a fried egg, crumbled brie cheese and mashed avocado spread on what I think is country bread yup
