Grandma, the Cook

Kirsten Haugen shared this awesome website, "Delicatessen with love", which features, in a gorgeous format, recipes from grandmothers around the world.  Here is the introduction:

"Gabriele Galimberti pays homage to all the grandmothers in the world and to their love for good cooking, starting from his own grandma Marisa who, before the departure for his tour around the world by couch-surfing, took care to prepare her renowned ravioli....

"With the taste of his grandma’s ravioli in his mouth, Gabriele travelled around the world and, next to thousands of other adventures, turned into a curious and hungry grandson for the grannies of all the countries he visited.  Appealing to their natural cooking care and their inevitable pride in their best recipe, common factors to all grandmothers in the world, Gabriele persuaded them to do their best in the kitchen. This means moose steak in Alaska; caterpillars in Malawi; delicious, but ferociously hot, ten-spice-curry in India; and sharks soup in the Philippines....  For each grandmother he has produced a portrait of the cook, an easy-to-follow recipe, and an image of the extraordinary — and at times mouthwatering — final dish."
