"Cocina de Familia" as something made by a family or tradition

Question

My wife and I are in the food business and planing to make it more professional, including a Facebook and Instagram pages. For that I'll invest in some professional logo and brand name.

I'm looking for a word or expression that may translate the fact that the food we're selling is made by a family business, with all the love and quality that you may expect from a meal cooked by your grandmother.

I was wondering if "Cocina de Familia" is the best choice here. I google it and it seems there's a TV show with that name.

Just a note: I'm a brazilian (therefore portuguese speaker) living in Chile with a very poor spanish.

Thanks!

There are two concepts at stake in your intended message, which are closely related but not exactly the same. Why not to appeal for both meanings?

Cocina casera / Recetas de familia

('Cocina casera', for homemade food every-day cooking, to convey an artisan style of preparation; 'Recetas de familia, to allude to comfort food that has a tradition of excellence passed on by generations)

I would say: "Cocina de tradicion familiar"
This means you are cooking recipes that have been passed through generations.
When you call it "Cocina casera", it means homemade food...
The meaning is a bit different. Cause it can be anything really. And generally something simple.
