Editor of Bon Apétit Amelia Rampe shares her nostalgia of Adobo saying that when she comes home and smells the Adobo she knew she would be getting her favorite meal
"I cannot remember a time when there wasn't adobo in my life. Coming home to the enticing perfume of steaming rice combined with vinegary, garlicky adobo would make my mouth water immediately and I KNEW I would be getting my favorite meal for dinner."
Read and try Amelia Rampe's recipe.
There are different versions of Adobo and every version "is a winning formula," Bon Apétit writes
She encourages their readers to try the recipe even if "Filipino food can be a scary unknown for some people" but she adds that "it's so easy" to make. She knows that when their readers try it, they will understand why it's the greatest recipe of all time. "Once you take a bite, you'll quickly realize that whatever version of adobo you come up with will soon become your "greatest recipe of all time" too."
Filipino food is underrated internationally
Every Filipino's favorite food growing up is probably our unofficial National dish, Adobo. But that's not the case internationally. Filipino food is not as popular as other asian food like Japanese or Korean but it's slowly getting the acknowledgement that it deserves.
Eventhough it is underrated, respected people in the food world like Nigella Lawson or Anthony Bourdain have raved about Adobo and other Filipino dishes
