singapore broadcaster channelnewsasia has a very interesting series where a masterchef chef is tasked with trying to recreate family recipes which have been 'lost'
this metafilter thread has a list of the episodes
in a food culture where food is very important and personal yet very little is written down and every family does the same dish very differently depending on your personal background, this is valuable.
i think for example of how when my grandma passed away, my mum tried to replicate her teochew kiam chye ark tng (teochew salted veg and duck soup), and that made me feel very comforted in my grief.
