Abstract Cookery as a learning area requires the integration of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, and its effectiveness is often reinforced by parental support. Parental support encompasses the various ways parents or guardians guide, encourage, and assist learners throughout their academic tasks. However, classroom observations revealed a noticeable lack of such support in students’ learning activities, raising questions about its potential association on their performance in cookery. This study investigated the association between parental support and students’ knowledge in culinary mathematics to their overall cookery performance. Anchored in Incremental Theory and Ecological Systems Theory, the study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. Data were gathered from 88 Grade 8 students enrolled in Cookery and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product–Moment Correlation Coefficient. Findings indicate that both parental support and culinary mathematics skills exhibit significant positive correlations with students’ cookery performance. These results suggest that parental involvement and mathematical competence meaningfully contribute to students’ success in practical cookery tasks. The study highlights the essential role of different dimensions of parental participation and applied culinary mathematics in strengthening students’ cookery performance. These findings underscore the need for enhanced parental engagement initiatives, integrative instructional strategies, and future research exploring supportive factors that can further advance cookery education.
