I was raised between a drum set and a kitchen. My grandfather, Leonardo, was a chef, and since I grew up with him by osmosis, I absorbed his love for cooking. He used to say, “Remember, most important decisions in the history of mankind have been made around a dinner table!” And that statement has stuck with me forever. Cooking is a ritual, after all, you are what you eat! These series of photos were taken in different kitchens around the world.
