Cook a dish from your family's place of origin
Their food, traced back. The recipe is an excuse for the story.

How to do it
Where is your family from, going back? Pick one dish from that place. If you don't know how to cook it, look it up together — a video is fine. Cook it slowly. While you cook, tell them what you know about the place: who lived there, what it looked like, why your family left or stayed. The dish is a doorway. Eat together. Save the leftovers for lunch the next day.
