Sok Heng Oeun
Founding editor and owner
Sok Heng is a home cook, not a trained chef, and this site does not pretend otherwise. Mommy Cooking exists because the useful part of a recipe — the exact amount, the real timing, the warning about the step that goes wrong — is usually buried under a story nobody came for.
He sets the editorial standards below, reads and approves every recipe before it publishes, and is the person to write to when something here is wrong. He has cooked a number of these recipes himself. Where a page says he cooked it, he cooked it; where it says only that he reviewed and approved it, that is the honest limit of the claim.

How our recipes are made
Every recipe starts as an AI-assisted draft built on established, classic cooking techniques. A human editor then reviews it before publication. Nothing is published without that review.
What the review covers
- Ingredient quantities, in both imperial and metric, and whether they are internally consistent.
- Cooking logic and timing — whether the steps happen in an order that works.
- Internal temperatures, checked against FDA food-safety guidance.
- Clear visual and sensory doneness cues, not clock times alone.
- Practical substitutions for ingredients that are hard to find or expensive.
What we will not do
- We do not claim a recipe was personally cooked, kitchen-tested, or family-tested unless that is genuinely true.
- We do not invent family stories, testers, or tasters.
- We do not claim credentials the editor does not hold. He is a home cook.
- We do not publish star ratings, review counts, or testimonials that no reader gave. You will find no
aggregateRatingin our structured data, and that is deliberate. - We do not hide the use of AI. It is disclosed on this page and in the byline of every recipe.
Photography
The food photography on this site is AI-generated and styled to match the finished dish as described in the recipe. It illustrates the result; it is not a photograph of a specific cooking session.
Nutrition estimates
Nutritional figures are automated calculations from standard ingredient values. Treat them as rough guidance, not medical information. Brands, cuts, and serving sizes all move the number.
Corrections
If something here is wrong — a quantity, a temperature, a timing, a broken link — please say so through the contact page. Corrections are reviewed promptly and the page is updated with a new modified date.
