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.

I was just going through my list of followed blogs and for some reason my eyes weren't seeing yours and I was literally about to freak out if you had deleted this beautiful piece... I also just like hearing about what's going on in your life because I miss you terribly and I am vicariously living out whatever dreams I have in my life through you as you live out your dreams at DCP. Okay I'm done now bye <3

Hi, I just wanted you to know I'm like obsessed with your blog, low key obsessed with you haha. I got accepted to the DCP program for Disneyland but since I live in SoCal it would be too hard too attend a full schedule of classes and work so I had to turn it down. It's so great to see you enjoying it so much, and I definitely wish I would have applied to the Disneyworld one like you. Keep doing your thing girl. You're awesome sauce.
I am low-key obsessed with the phrase “low-key”, so this is awesome.
Thank you!
How long do you think it would take to explore all of Disney World?
WELL
4 theme parks
2 water parks
Downtown Disney
33 hotels — 24 actually run by the Disney company
There are also other random attractions like the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex and our race track (just to name a couple).
Like, if you wanted to see EVERYTHING, it would take you a VERY long time and A LOT of money.
However, if you want to see just “the usual”, I’d say that a week is about average.
I'm going to Disney on may 17th! I'm staying at the Caribbean beach resort and I live it there! Do you? What's you favorite ride and character and resturant?
Caribbean Beach is a pretty resort! Their front desk costumes are Hawaiian print shirts — if that isn’t enticing enough, I don’t know what is.
All of my favorites are pretty volatile and subject to change, but I’ll humor you.
Favorite ride: MAELSTROM
Favorite character: Timon — he is arrogant and sassy
Favorite restaurant: Boma (?!?!??????)
