Meet Adora: As was the tradition in the Philippines where I grew up, I was trained to cook by my Mom and my Grandmother. I share the recipes I've learned from them (and more) on my blog, Adora's Box.

What inspires you to make Filipino food?
Having grown up in the Philippines, the taste of Filipino food is what defines "delicious food" to me. I have grown to like a lot of foreign cuisines but my cravings constantly go back to my Filipino roots.
Special memory about adobo:
Adobo links to a lot of my happy childhood memories. Family dinners at home, summer picnics with family friends and school lunch boxes all had adobo as the common denominator. Eating adobo cheers me up.
What makes your adobo special?
This adobo is a take-off from "adobo sa gata" (adobo with coconut milk). I gave it a Southeast Asian twist with the addition of lemon grass, tamarind and green chillies. Both gave the dish a refreshing tang without losing the essence of adobo.
