  • Pasteles de carne

    • Ishie1013 on August 28, 2024

      Very tasty, though I continue to struggle with getting my pastry to stay sealed, despite using the egg mixture and a fork. I had to swap out the green onions with kalamata as my green had gone bad. This was a really really nice meal, though I'll warn you, it makes WAY more filling than the four pasteles the recipe claims it makes. I used both sheets of puff pastry to make 8, and had enough filling that I could have easily made an additional 4 had I not been out of puff pastry. And that's with using one fewer tomato than the recipe called for! I also baked them, which worked out splendidly, just by using the same egg wash I used to seal them to brush the tops. They also saved well. Obviously not as flaky and light as day one, but made a really nice sort of elevated hot pocket alternative for lunch the next day.

  • Stuffed omelet (Kai yat sai)

    • Ishie1013 on August 28, 2024

      Scrumptious, and I can't believe I never though of using a wok to make an omelet before, but that was brilliant. You put the six eggs in and keep swirling in a larger and larger circle like you'd make a crepe. Like the earlier pasteles, this makes too much filling, and I did struggle with how exactly to seal this omelet or 'flip' it with a lot of filling and the depressed bottom of the wok pan, so it burned a bit on the bottom and was *still* delicious. Also seems like something that can be adapted. I did serve it with the optional rice as suggested. The flavor was not far off from what I was eating on the side of the road at a plastic table in Thailand.

Publishers Text

Winner of the James Beard Award for Photography 

In a keepsake volume, Gabriele Galimberti’s beautiful portraits of grandmothers from all over the world with their signature recipes illustrates the universal language of food and family.

On the eve of a photography trip around the world, Gabriele Galimberti sat down to dinner with his grandmother Marisa. As she had done so many times before, she prepared his favorite ravioli. The care with which she prepared this meal, and the pride she took in her dish, led Gabriele to seek out grandmothers and their signature dishes in the sixty countries he visited.

These vibrant and intimate profiles and photographs pay homage to grandmothers and their cooking everywhere. From a Swedish housewife and her homemade lox and vegetables to a Zambian villager and her Roasted Spiced Chicken, this collection features a global palate: included are hand-stuffed empanadas from Argentina, twice-fried pork and vegetables from China, slow-roasted ratatouille from France, and a decadent toffee trifle from the United States. In Her Kitchen is an evocative, loving portrait of these cherished family members and the ways they return that affection--no matter where in the world you sit down for dinner.
