The Ultimate Filipino Adobo: Stories + Recipes from the Heart

In this book, Claude Tayag lays down the foundations of what the Filipino adobo is.

It tells the many untold stories, and some recipes, of what the adobo means to different Filipinos from all over the world.

The Filipino adobo is a cooking method using vinegar as its primary source of liquid, with variable animal or plant-based main ingredient, aromatics and seasonings. Disparate as the adobo dishes presented in this book may be in appearance, it's the feel-good memory of home that is forever etched in their hearts that they share in common.

This book also settles the issue that the Filipino adobo's recipe cannot be standardized. There are as many variants of adobos as there are households, and no two are alike.
