Teresita "Mama Sita" C. Reyes was born in Manila on May 11, 1917, the eldest child of Justice Alex Reyes and
Engracia "Aling Asiang" Cruz-Reyes, founder of The Aristocrat Restaurant. She had an interest in Filipino food and raised a business devoted to creating recipes and selling sauce mixes, vinegars and sauces. Reyes and her company became well known in the
Philippines and amongst Filipinos living abroad. In 2013, a 10 peso
postage stamp was issued in honor of her memory by the Philippine government. At least two Mama Sita cookbooks have been produced, ''Mama Sita's Cookbook
(1996) and Mama Sita's Homestyle Recipes'' (2010). ==Products==
