An interesting idea for a cookbook, author Gabriele Galimberti's love of food and cooking was developed and encouraged by his grandmother. He decided to travel the world and try the various specialties of grandmothers everywhere.
The genesis of "In her Kitchen", Gabriele compiles 70 recipes from the far-reaches of the world. After all, who doesn't love some good home cooked comfort food? The cookbook has a picture of each grandmother, her dish, a small paragraph about her and then the recipe on the next page. It was wonderful to see so many proud grandmothers. Gabriele also chose easier dishes, the comfort food of each grandmother so the dishes are also a little more accessible to those who don't cook was much.
I'm planning on trying the Thai omlette, a childhood classic. Although I am partial to my mother's (she's a fantastic cook) I'm excited to see how this one lines up.
Overall review: the perfect gift for a grandmother! (I mean, come on, does it get any better?). Also, if you want to try a variety of simple dishes from around the world, this is great way to start. 3.5/5 starts.
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review. However, all the opinions are entirely my own.
