The Adobo Road Cookbook: A Filipino Food Journey |
In The Adobo Road Cookbook, Marvin Gapultos, a food blogger-turned-gourmet food trucker, brings the fascinating—yet simple to make—kinds of the Philippines into your home with this excellent Filipino Cookbook.
With a particular absence of Filipino cafés to be discovered, the way to extraordinary Filipino food starts and finishes at home. In his presentation cookbook, Marvin shows that Filipino food can be set up in any kitchen—from Manila to Los Angeles and wherever in the middle. Marvin deciphers conventional Filipino flavors with equivalent amounts of kitchen keen and road smarts—giving simple to-follow, proven plans that fill in as a manual for the delights of Filipino cooking. The about 100 plans in these pages clear a culinary excursion that transports home prepares to the side of the road food slows down, bars and home kitchens of the Philippines, to the ravenous lanes of L.A., and even into the kitchens of Marvin's grandma, mother and aunts.
A profoundly close to home interpretation of conventional Filipino cooking, The Adobo Road Cookbook brags a tempting blend local Filipino flavors, just as impacts from Spain, Mexico, China, and the U.S. From parts including surefire engaging nourishments like Filipino bar food, road food and mixed drinks to a total segment of adobo plans, both conventional and with a curve, the plans found in The Adobo Road Cookbook express Marvin's interesting way to deal with cooking. The entirety of his plans underline their real Filipino roots, exploiting conventional island flavors for which the Philippines is appropriately prestigious.
Unique Filipino plans include:
Slow-Braised Pork Belly and Pineapple Adobo
Zesty Sizzling Pork (Sisig)
Salmon and Miso Sour Soup (Sinigang)
Bean stew Crab Spring Rolls (Lumpia)
Coconut Milk Risotto with Kabocha Squash and Long Beans
Chicken Adobo Pot Pies
Sweet Corn and Coconut Milk Panna Cotta
Zesty Sizzling Pork
Gin Fizz Tropical
Banana-Nut Spring Rolls
About the Author
Marvin Gapultos is the author of the celebrated food blog, Burnt Lumpia, and was the founder of Los Angeles' first gourmet Filipino food truck, The Manila Machine. Because of his contemporary take on traditional Filipino food, The Manila Machine gained both a loyal following as well as critical acclaim, in just a short period of time. Using his knowledge of Filipino ingredients and flavors, Marvin not only developed the menu for his mobile restaurant, but he was also responsible for cooking the food. In fact, many of the menu items served from The Manila Machine originated on Marvin's blog. His singular passion and focus on the food of the Philippines has made him one of the leading voices on Filipino cooking. Marvin spends his time as a food and marketing writer. He lives with his wife and son in Southern California.
A terrific Filipino food cookbook with many of the recipes that my dad used to fix for the family. He was a chef for Navy Officers, and sometimes treated them with Filipino dishes which they loved. I especially enjoyed the brief history of the Spanish, Mexican, and Philippines influence across those cultures which impacted many of the recipes that we use today. The photos in the book were well done and the recipes easy to follow. So glad that I selected this book of the several available through Amazon. I was not disappointed and have sent a copy to my son to use for preparing these 'new' recipes for his family.-LilyB
Ever found yourself not cooking Filipino food because you cannot understand the terminology used in other cookbooks, don't know where to find the ingredients or how common cooking techniques are executed (and you don't know who to ask)? As in you have not experienced cooking before. Now that you are an adult, you want something better and wished you had asked your mom or grandma how to do things. Most other cookbooks assume you know a little bit.The author nailed the dillemma guys faced when starting to learn how to cook. He went to the point of identifying where to find these ingredients in the grocery store, illustrating step by step how to do it and laid out more ambitious dishes to pursue when you got the basics. My family and friends were surprised how quickly I began cooking really good Filipino dishes. -Photo Mahem
I frequent the Burnt Lumpia blog for delicious Filipino recipes so when Marvin finally came out with a cookbook, I quickly placed it on pre-order. Great authentic recipes, yet I also like his spin on "new" recipes, e.g. spicy adobo wings. I was pleasantly surprised to find the recipe for cascarone as this is a dessert that my late nanang (grandmother) and tita (auntie) only made. I've made it several times for my kids and I am happy to say that it's 100% exactly the way I remembered as a child. If you are a Filipino-American trying to reconnect with your culinary roots, or a foodie who appreciates all types of foods and wants to experience Filipino cuisine, I highly recommend 2 cookbooks - The Adobo Road Cookbook and Philippine Cookbook (by Reynaldo Alejandro). -M.
