Doro Wat

Doro Wat

For Ethiopians, no festive meal is complete without Doro Wat, a spicy chicken stew, served with injera flatbread. The traditional way is to use your hands to tear pieces of injera and scoop up bites of stew or vegetables (no utensils needed!).

Tibs Wot

Tibs Wot

Tibs wot is made with berbere spices, but it is stir fried rather than cooked as a stew. Because the meat is thinly sliced, it is quick to prepare.

Misir Wat

Misir Wat

Misir wat is an Ethiopian vegetable stew seasoned with berbere spices and traditionally served on injera flatbread. In our version, we serve Misir wat with rice instead of injera bread.

Discover Ethiopia

ETHIOPIA, located in the Horn of Africa, is known for its dramatic highlands, ancient history, and rich cultural traditions. As one of the only African nations never colonized, Ethiopia has preserved a unique identity shaped by Indigenous customs, Orthodox Christianity, and diverse ethnic heritage. It is also the birthplace of coffee and home to some of the world’s oldest human fossils and civilizations. Ethiopian cuisine is known for its bold, aromatic spices and rich, savory flavors, often layered with subtle heat and depth. This kit makes those flavors approachable, even if you have never cooked Ethiopian food before.

An amazing family experience!

"The Explore Mexico box was fantastic. The box includes 3 authentic Mexican recipes (4 servings each), 5-7 pre-measured spice and sauce mixes, a shopping list for fresh ingredients, a fun cooking tool, Mexico flag pin + sticker, and a 16-page Cultural Explorer booklet. The recipes were easy to follow even with kids, and the flavors were so authentic. I loved that it wasn't just cooking - we learned about the Aztec & Mayan history, geography, music and language too. It made dinner feel like a mini trip to Mexico. Everything was well organized. Will definitely be ordering another country!"

— Alma A. (5/5)

Great box for our little foodie!

Still checking it out, but so far, so good.

"So far so good. We accidentally used the wrong seasoning packet on our first meal, lol, but it was a great learning experience. So far everything seems easy to follow. I may have more thoughts after a few more boxes."
