Italian artist Gabriele Galimberti is a commercial photographer (featured previously here and here) whose human-interest photo series’ have garnered critical acclaim.

During a recent 18-month ‘couch surfing’ trip around the world, Galimberti pursued a number of personal photo projects including Delicatessen with love, where he asked grandmothers to prepare their signature dishes. In a side by side series, Galimberti took portraits of the women with the ingredients used to cook the meal on one side and the finished dish on the other.

Galimberti took the project a step further, collecting the recipes for each meal, which you can find on his official site. Below is a small selection from this heartwarming series. To see all 44 grandmothers, dishes and recipes click here.
