13 July 2015 - The Philippine Embassy in Santiago participated in a cookbook project organized by the Asociacion de Conyuges Diplomaticos (ACD) in Chile to commemorate the 25th year of ACD’s International Bazaar in 2015.
The famous Filipino adobo recipe was chosen to be featured in the ACD cookbook, together with other recipes from 25 different countries all over the world. The ACD intends to release the cookbook in Santiago before the year ends.
Philippine Ambassador to Chile Maria Consuelo Puyat-Reyes and Embassy personnel received a team from ACD on June 17 to hold a food tasting and photoshoot of the dish.
The Embassy’s participation in ACD’s cookbook project is a unique opportunity to introduce Filipino cuisine to Chileans and other readers. The Embassy is optimistic that interest in Filipino food will help generate more interest among Chileans about the Philippines and its culture. END
