Adobo Road cookbook - Marvin Gapultos

The road to great Filipino food begins and ends at home. But the journey along the way introduces a combination of flavors and textures from around the world. In this debut cookbook, Marvin Gapultos demonstrates that Filipino cuisine can be prepared in any kitchen-from Manila to Los Angeles and everywhere in-between. As a food blogger-turned-gourmet food trucker, Marvin interprets traditional Filipino flavours with equal parts kitchen savvy and street smarts-providing easy-to-follow, tried-and true recipes that serve as a guide to the pleasures of Filipino cooking. The nearly 100 recipes pave a culinary road trip that transports home cooks to the roadside food stalls, bars and home kitchens of the Philippines, to the hungry streets of L.A., and even into the sage kitchens of Marvin's own grandmother, mother and aunties. Marvin's highly personal take on traditional Filipino cooking boasts a tantalising mix of native Filipino flavours, as well as influences from Spain, Mexico, China, and the U.S. His
