Photographer Gabriele Galimberti has a project showcasing grandmothers from around the world and their cooking. Each woman is photographed with the ingredients for her special dish, and then there's a photo of the finished dish. And there are recipes (click on "More Info" below each photo). In true grandmother tradition, the recipes often don't give quantities, and sometimes ingredient names are untranslated and (to me) unfamiliar, but I'd certainly like to try cooking some of these. (I must admit to a particular fondness for Grace Estibero, of Mumbai, India, who suggests buying a premade masala for her chicken vindaloo: "Just buy it! Extremely easy, isn't it?")

Delicatessen with love.

Wow, that is so awesome! It made me go look for my Nonna's Easter lamb with lemon and egg, which we call spezzato but actually is more like this. (Dad doesn't make it right, according to her, but I don't know that anyone could.)

The chicken vindaloo looks so good, guh. And the Zambian chicken recipe. And the Turkish eggplant. So many good foods!
