Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti and his project "On her kitchen” is a tribute to all the grandmothers of the world. This amazing women who love to cook deliciously and feed their beloved grandchildren!





Gabriele visited 60 countries and everywhere he found heroines for this photo project.

It's not just about taste, it's about love and traditions that underlie everything.
