From Recipes Wiki, the recipe book anyone can contribute to!

There are no specific preparation methods in the Venezuelan cuisine; it’s just that the recipes need to be closely followed. For example, for the famous Venezuelan corn pancakes, named the “Cachapas”, the main ingredients are eggs, sugar, milk, salt and canned corn or tender corn kernels. All the ingredients have to be combined in a blender and mixed together until they become thick. The obtained mix has to be shaped into pancakes. Next step is to let them cook on both sides for about one minute. The “Cachapas” are usually served hot with feta cheese. The preparation method for “Arroz con Leche” is also simple. For an “Arroz con Leche”, the main ingredients are: rice, water, milk, sugar, salt, lemon peel, cinnamon powder and sticks. The rice has to be washed in cold water and after that boiled for about ten minutes. Next step is adding the milk, the cinnamon and the lemon peel. The rice has to boil for another ten minutes on moderate heat, the sugar and salt has to be added. After boiling the rice for another 15 minutes, the cinnamon powder is being added. The “Arroz con Lecho” is served chilled.
