In The Adventures of Maddie Leon: A Continental Shift, Maddie makes a Red Velvet cake with a Peruvian twist for Jojo and his family. She challenges Jojo to identify the cultural twist she added to the cake. When she finds out how good he is at picking out spices and herbs in food, she invites him to come back when her dad makes his secret spaghetti sauce. She is sure Jojo will be able to identify her dad’s secret ingredients.
