Grandma's project - Jonas Parienté

Book description

In the heart of our grandmothers' kitchens, Jonas Parienté invites us on a culinary and emotional journey. Inspired by his widely acclaimed collaborative documentary series, Grandmas Project, this unique cookbook brings together authentic recipes and captivating stories from grandmothers across the globe. Each chapter retraces the project's history and highlights the grandmothers and their signature recipes, passed down through generations. From the warmth of Mediterranean cuisine to the exotic spices of Asia, the rich flavors of Latin America, and European culinary traditions, this book is a celebration of cultural diversity and family heritage, offering glimpses into identities and lives, sometimes tinged with the memory of exile. The recipes, illustrated with beautiful photographs and accompanied by personal narratives, offer much more than cooking instructions. They reveal and transmit precious memories, family anecdotes, and moments cherished around the table.
