Cuisine across Cultures - Day 5

Today we concentrated on the cereal grains in the Americas.  As a team we divided up, paired up and made the following recipes:

Corn tortillas, flour tortillas, quesadillas, two types of cornbread - one spicy and one sweet, two kinds of arepas (from Venezuela they are corn dough stuffed with meat) - one with meat and one with plain cheese.  Masa de Arepa (the cornbread dough), grits with cheddar cheese, eggs, pork sausage patties, and a vegetable quinoa salad with bell peppers.

We all work together in our group have have a little less than 2 hours (1 hr 45 min) to prepare, plate and serve the dishes to the chef.
