SAN FRANCISCO – The Bay Area-based Filipino Food Movement and the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco recently hosted renowned Filipino food writer, artist and restaurateur Claude Tayag’s cooking exhibition spotlighting the Filipino adobo.
Tayag was in San Francisco for the 7th biennial Filipino American International Book Festival, where he promoted his latest book “The Ultimate Filipino Adobo: Stories + Recipes from the Heart” from Anvil Publishing.
The book serves as a follow-up to “The Ultimate Filipino Adobo: Stories Through the Ages,” a gastrodiplomacy book project of the Foreign Service Institute.

Tayag was first introduced to the American audience when he accompanied chef and TV host Anthony Bourdain during a tour of Pampanga in “No Reservations.”
The cooking exhibition was held at La Fusion Peruvian Restaurant in downtown San Francisco on Oct. 14.
Tayag began his presentation with the “Dalit sa Adobo” (“Hymn to the Adobo”) by Philippine National Artist for Literature Virgilio Almario: “Ay! Ang adobo ni inang, pang-tag-araw, pang-tag-ulan; parang pusong nagmamahal, mas masarap ‘pag nagtatagal.”
ADVERTISEMENTDuring the cooking demo hosted by Filipino Food Movement Vice President Keesa Ocampo, Tayag presented three Filipino adobo dishes that were featured in his newest book: Adobong Portobello Mushrooms, Adobong Pusit Pansit (Squid Adobo Noodles) and Three-Way Adobong Manok (Three-Way Chicken Adobo).

Tayag differentiated the Filipino adobo from other versions in the Hispanic world, where adobo is used to marinate or preserve food.
Tayag emphasized that more than being a dish, the Filipino adobo is a cooking method with vinegar as the primary liquid, which should allow anyone to create their own adobo recipes.
ADVERTISEMENTFor instance, he told the audience to use any vinegar product that is accessible to them. For the cooking demo, he used balsamic vinegar for the Adobong Portobello Mushrooms and apple cider vinegar for the Three-Way Adobong Manok.
