Lillian Lising-Borromeo, commonly referred to as Atching Lillian (lit. 'Elder Sister Lillian'), is a Filipino food historian and chef, best known for her dedication to preserving Filipino heirloom recipes and old methods of food preparation, especially those belonging to Kapampangan cuisine. She turned the old kitchen in her ancestral home in Mexico, Pampanga, into an open-air buffet restaurant that can accommodate up to a little over 50 diners; named Kusinang Matua, it is where she cooks and serves her collected heirloom recipes, and where she has on display cooking implements used by several generations of chefs.[1][2][3][4] The ancestral house itself has been serving as the studio for her cooking vlog titled Cucina Cu, Cucina Mu, started during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
Atching Lillian has also been sharing as well as crowdsourcing Kapampangan heritage recipes through her Facebook group Kusinero’t Kusinera, named after Kusinero't Kusinerang Kapampangan, the non-profit organization she founded in 2012 to advocate for the promotion of Pampanga's classic recipes.[4][6]
