Mga Kuwentong Pagkain
The search for regional food stories on eating, cooking, and dining
Inspired by Teresita “Mama Sita” Reyes’ own passion of writing her culinary adventures and experiences, “Mga Kuwentong Pagkain (MKP)” was launched as a nationwide contest aimed to encourage everyone to share authentic, one-of-a-kind and little known stories on Philippine cuisine and cooking.
Mga Kuwentong Pagkain is a project of the Mama Sita Foundation as a way to preserve our country’s rich culinary heritage. Tell us your Filipino food story through writing, or photos / drawings, or a video. It can involve anything from an ingredient or dish, a cooking method or practice, or food-related rituals or beliefs.
