Recipe title word frequency for describing the food context of a searched keyword

A search for "adobo" using the Yummly API led to just over 6500 recipes containing the word "adobo".

Viewing the recipe titles then grouping the words according to frequency results in a table of the most frequent words associated with my searched keyword "adobo".

The top 30 most frequent words can be described by a pie chart:



These are the most common words in recipe titles which include the word "adobo" somewhere else.

To give you an idea, you can interpret this chart as the most common preparations and food types which involve "adobo". I happen to know there are two main kinds of adobo: adobo spice mix and adobo chicken (pork, beef, etc...) and you cannot tell which of the two is better represented here.

It does give me some good ideas for cooking!



In addition, you can look at the most common ingredients used in these recipes:

Once again, similar to the first pie chart, this one describes the most common ingredients listed in the recipe set returned by a simple search for the keyword "adobo".
