全世界六十位阿嬤上菜，一道道盛滿人生智慧與愛的溫馨料理！
攝影之旅啟程前夕，Gabriele Galimberti一如往常地和祖母共度晚餐時光，老人家準備了數道他最愛的料理，就像兒時一般，端上驕傲的拿手菜與豐盈的愛讓他細細品嘗。這些溫暖的生活點滴促使Gabriele開始對其他地方的祖母感到好奇，她們會煮些什麼給孫子呢？她們的廚房會跟這裡一樣嗎？
踏上旅程後，Gabriele一連用影像記錄下六十國祖母以及她最引以為傲的一道料理。在這些長輩面前，他化身為好奇又嘴饞的孫子，走進她們的廚房，學著認識前所未見的食材、聆聽前所未聞的人生。對方可能是瑞典家庭主婦與自製的燻鮭魚佐時蔬、馬拉威太太與一鍋營養的茄汁毛毛蟲，或者是慈祥的義大利奶奶慢工出細活，端出一盤淋滿香噴噴肉醬的起士甜菜餛飩。
透過《In Her Kitchen》的數十張照片，讀者還能一窺不同文化背景下的家庭廚房裝潢，桌布與餐具樣式，細細回味過往坐在家中餐桌前，品嘗愛心料理的溫暖與感動。(文/博客來編譯)
In a gorgeous keepsake volume based on the slideshow that captured the world’s attention, Gabriele Galimberti’s beautiful portraits of grandmothers from all over the world with their
signature dishes stunningly illustrates the international language of food and family.
On the eve of a photography trip around the world, Gabriele Galimberti sat down to dinner with his grandmother Marisa. As she had done so many times before, she prepared his favorite
ravioli—a gesture of love and an expression of the traditions by which he had come to know her as a child. The care with which she prepared this meal, and the evident pride she took in her
dish, led Gabriele to seek out grandmothers and their signature dishes in the sixty countries he visited. The kitchens he photographed illustrate both the diversity of world cuisine and the
universal nature of a dish served up with generosity and love. At each woman’s table, Gabriele became a curious and hungry grandson, exploring new ingredients and gathering stories. These
vibrant and intimate profiles and photographs pay homage to grandmothers and their cooking everywhere. From a Swedish housewife and her homemade lox and vegetables to a Zambian villager and her
Roasted Spiced Chicken, this collection features a global palate: included are hand-stuffed empanadas from Argentina, twice-fried pork and vegetables from China, slow-roasted ratatouille from
France, and a decadent toffee trifle from the United States. Taken together or bite by bite, In Her Kitchen taps into our collective affection for these cherished family members and the ways
they return that affection.
In Her Kitchen is an evocative, loving portrait of the power of food and family, no matter where in the world you sit down for dinner.
