About

Hi! I’m Jepoy, and welcome to Kusina Ni Mama Zeny, a culinary tribute to my beloved grandmother, Zenaida Bengero, or as we, her grandchildren, fondly call her, Mama Zeny. Her kitchen was always filled with the comforting aroma of Filipino home-cooked meals, each dish crafted with care, tradition, and love.

The original plan was to launch Kusina Ni Mama Zeny as a YouTube channel, a way to visually share her timeless recipes with a wider audience. However, with our current packed schedules, we’ve decided to start with something more manageable: this recipe website. It’s our way of getting the project off the ground and sharing her legacy, one dish at a time.

Interestingly, instead of building a brand-new site from scratch, I chose to revive an old blog from the Pinoy Blogarista Network, Pinoy Kusina, which was established in November 2006 and went inactive in June 2007. Since GameOPS recently acquired the network’s blogs, it felt right to bring Pinoy Kusina back to life with a more personal touch, and so, Kusina Ni Mama Zeny was born.

This site is more than just a recipe collection. It’s a celebration of family, heritage, and the joy of sharing meals together. Through these dishes and stories, I hope to preserve Mama Zeny’s culinary legacy and bring a taste of her love into your home.

Thank you for visiting, and welcome to our kusina!
