8:30 The Food Chain: Recipes

What is a recipe? A simple question... with many answers. It could be a set of instructions on how to make a dish - but also so much more. Recipes can reveal how we lived in the past, and how we are living today. They are part of our sense of identity, belonging and loss and they are portals we can use to travel to different cultures.

This week, Ruth Alexander speaks to three recipe collectors in India, Ghana and the USA to find out why they are preserving their nation's recipes and what can you learn by documenting these culinary guides?
