Reconnect with Tradition & Family: The "My Food" Project
"Hello, everyone! Today, we're diving into a project that brings the heart of tradition and family right back into our kitchens. It’s called the 'My Food' project – a beautiful way to reconnect with traditional foods, build family bonds, and enjoy a delicious, homemade meal together!"

Cut to visuals of different families cooking, eating, and sharing laughter together.
"With our busy lives, it’s easy to drift away from the customs and recipes that have been part of our culture for generations. The 'My Food' project offers a chance to revive those traditions, bringing everyone in the family together for a unique experience of cooking, learning, and sharing."
Scene
*Back to the host in the kitchen, with a family sitting around a table. Children are excited, parents are smiling.*
"Start by gathering your family for a meaningful discussion. Talk about the traditional foods that have been part of your cultural or regional heritage. Everyone can share memories or favorite recipes that make them think of home."
Scene
*Host in front of a chalkboard or whiteboard, writing down a list of food options. The family votes on their favorite.*
"Next, choose one traditional dish to focus on. Together, create a list of traditional, nutritious options and decide as a family which one you’d like to make. This is where everyone can contribute ideas – maybe Grandma’s famous lentil soup, or Uncle’s secret spice blend!"
Scene
*The family gathers ingredients, reads recipes, and discusses the health benefits of the ingredients. Cut to the family in the kitchen, each member taking on a task: chopping vegetables, stirring pots, kneading dough. Laughter and teamwork fill the kitchen.*
"This part is all about collaboration! Everyone in the family can participate, from the youngest to the oldest, learning not only the techniques but also the health benefits and stories behind the ingredients."
Scene
*The family engages in cooking, with close-ups on their hands preparing food, adding spices, and stirring ingredients. Cut to a dining table set with traditional dishes. The family sits together, admiring their work, serving one another, and laughing.*
"And here’s the best part! Sitting down to enjoy the meal you've made together. This moment is what the 'My Food' project is all about – celebrating the flavors of traditional cuisine, sharing stories, and experiencing the joy of eating together."
Scene
*Family members taste the food, smile, and exchange words of appreciation.*
"The 'My Food' project is more than just a meal – it's a celebration of family, tradition, and the simple joys of cooking and eating together. It’s about creating new memories while reconnecting with our roots. So gather your loved ones, dive into your heritage, and savor the magic of traditional food and family time. Remember, food brings us together in ways words sometimes can’t."
