About Us

Kusina at iba pa! is a repository of famous and unique Filipino and Filipinized recipes. The conceptualization for Kusina at iba pa! started with Jovel Cipriano, founder of Pinoydelikasi, an Filipino delicacy store. Visitors of Pinoydelikasi.com frequently ask for Filipino recipes, like sinigang and adobo, that they can use at home for parties, gatherings, and other special occasions. He was initially able to offer 15 native recipes to his regular customers.
In Dumaguete at a mini-IT conference, he met Rae Pedrosa, developer and designer for Negros On-Line, with his wife, Naomi, a cook in one of Dumaguete's famous restaurants. Jovel proposed the idea of creating an on-line, searchable database of Filipino Recipes. It was at this moment that the first version of Kusina at iba pa! was born. Originally called Lutong Pinoy, the website was launched on Negros On-Line's servers for beta testing and refining. Lutong Pinoy had an initial 15 searcheable recipes on its list, now it has a total of 53 recipes and growing. Kusina at iba pa! can rightfully call itself the Premier Filipino Recipe Portal, with relevant information about Filipino cooking. Tips are available on basic to advanced methods of preparation, execution and presentation of dishes. 

We hope that you may stay with us and watch us grow as we bring to you the finest recipes of the Philippines.
