Learn about southern Chinese culture from another excerpt in "One City, Many Kitchens: Burnaby's Global Cookbook" by Burnaby Village Museum, created with partner United Way BC.

Daphne Woo shares a recipe for Cantonese bone broth, passed down by her mother, whose sister's family own North Burnaby Wonton House. To her, this dish represents nourishment, balance and family care. It connects her to her family's shared intergenerational memory and experiences gathering familiar ingredients no matter the location. Each bowl serves as care, comfort and connection.

Find the full recipe in "One City, Many Kitchens: Burnaby’s Global Cookbook," available for purchase for $24.99 (plus tax). The museum office is open Monday to Friday, 9 am to 4 pm, call 604-297-4565 or email [email protected] to place your order.

Marina Miller’s lanttu recipe is a tribute to her late grandmother “Mimi,” a central-figure in her family's history. The dish, a simple Finnish casserole, represents comfort and heritage. Raised in a close-knit environment, Marina recognizes the importance of family memory, stewardship and intergenerational family connections, and how these can be preserved through cooking.
