The project (23‑11‑25) investigates how a digital‑mediated, intergenerational recipe‑sharing platform influences family cohesion, cultural transmission, and wellbeing. Building on ethnographic fieldwork (2018‑2021) across three continents, the study examines three intertwined phenomena: (i) the “Liz Ocean” narrative—a symbolic storytelling device used by participants to negotiate identity and memory; (ii) the “Step‑2021” intervention—a structured set of eight weekly activities designed to deepen family interaction through collaborative cooking; and (iii) the role of the “23‑11‑25” temporal marker, which denotes the platform’s launch date and serves as a cultural anchor. Mixed‑methods data (n = 842 participants, 1 024 video diaries, 378 semi‑structured interviews) are analyzed through thematic coding, social network analysis, and longitudinal wellbeing metrics. Findings reveal that (a) families who engaged with the Step‑2021 protocol reported a 27 % increase in perceived cohesion (p < 0.01); (b) the Liz Ocean narrative functioned as a transgenerational metaphor for fluidity and continuity, strengthening emotional bonds; and (c) the MyFamilyPies platform facilitated a “digital hearth” that mitigated the isolating effects of the COVID‑19 pandemic. The paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers, educators, and technology designers seeking to harness culinary practices for social resilience.
