Cristeta Comerford is the first woman and first Filipina to be named White House Executive Chef. She was granted this position during the Bush administration and has been retained by the Obama's. She gained more popularity when she competed with Bobby Flay against Batali and Lagasse in Iron Chef America.
Her recipe is pretty much the same as the Arroz Caldo my folks would cook at home. The only thing that's different is the milk. I've never had Arroz Caldo with milk before but I think from now on, I'm cooking Arroz Caldo the Cristeta way.
