Authentic Filipino Recipes
Welcome to Kusina Secrets! I know Filipino cooking can seem tricky. Maybe you’ve tried making Sinigang that wasn’t quite as sour as you remember, or your first attempt at Lechon Kawali didn’t get that perfect crispy skin. We’ve all been there! That’s exactly why I created KusinaSecrets.com.
No fancy chef talk or hard-to-find ingredients – just real, delicious Filipino food the way our families make it.
