Tapas competition

You and your team get a chance to make a variety of tapas using your vision, creativity, and of course plenty of teamwork. Each team will compete to create the best tapas in the competition. Each group is responsible to create a few shared tapas using a variety of ingredients provided for you. Your challenge is to turn those ingredients into a real masterpiece with the help of a professional chef.
