"These images were taken during my recent trip to the Upper Tiber Valley, the heartland of Italy. My time there was spent with makers, farmers and food producers. I was moved by their sense of history and tradition in the fields and the pride and care taken in the kitchen."

Dominic Episcopo is a Philadelphia-based, internationally recognised artist and pioneer of food photography and the lifestyle photography movement. His early inspiration centered on low-fi rock and roll, and the ability to capture the candid, even in portraiture.

His iconic book, 'Meat America', explores the uniquely American relationship and identification-with meat, exploring the personification of different cuts. His photography of food is equally studied and personal. It evokes the lush displays of a Baroque still life, with the mis-en-scene of Italian neorealism.

Both elevated and nostalgic, Dominic’s ability to capture elegant sensuality and emotionality in his food photography creates an impressive and versatile portfolio across advertising campaigns for global brands, cookbooks and culinary editorial publications, web commerce, fashion, as well as in private collections.

Renowned photographer Dominic Episcopo has created this eye-opening and artery-closing tour of America’s spirit.

"Like in many Italian-American households, food was the cultural centerpiece of the home I grew up in. On any given Sunday, we would have a dozen or more people over for dinner. Food was a way to celebrate, to mourn, to heal, or to simply enjoy each other’s company. Even when there wasn’t a special occasion, it was time well spent, enriched by family, friends, and dishes to remember.

Now, as homage to my mother's and grandmother's recipes, and to the people who I’ve shared them with over the years, I have set forth to capture their essence in this heartfelt project, 'Nana’s Recipes'.

This was always meant to be more than a photography project or recipe book, although I didn’t realize that until far into it. It is an autobiographical story, steeped in memories and stories that my mother and Nana passed along to me, and that I am now proudly sharing with the broader world beyond our family table."
