I need good recipes

Daina Perry (64.107.133.124) -

I need recipes for stewed chicken and rice and beans and creole bread and salad. I am doing a belize day at school for Belize independence day, a day before the actual day ( tha's the day that got approved) that an american cheif can reproduce easily that will taste great ( for an american) . To represent Belize food.

Thank You

P.S

my boss suggested we use the school chef instead of my belize friends since there are rules at the college about outside food being served to the general population.

No trackbacks.

I'm a little confused. You want to cook "Belize Food" but you want it to "taste good to an America".

First, Belize is Part of Central AMERICA.

Second, if you cook Belize food to taste good to those in the United States (Americans) than you are not really cooking Belize food.

If you or your college want to learn anything, then you should cook Belize food as it would be cooked in Belize and learn about their flavors. That is the only way to represent Belize food.

Otherwise you might as well just order from McDonalds and pretend it came from McDonalds in Belize.
