    Recipe details

    Feijoada

    Feijoada

    Feijoada, the national dish of Brazil, is a peasant, comfort stew of black beans and meat. Its name comes from “feijão”, the Portuguese word for beans. This dish was influenced by two early settlers in Brazil: Portuguese colonists and African slaves.

    Moqueca

    Moqueca

    Moqueca is the dish that most represents Brazilian cuisine as it is an amalgam of Native Indian, African and Portuguese influences. The dish is also called muqueca or mu’kaka from an Angolan dialect, or pokeka in the Tupi Native dialect.

    Pastéis

    Pastéis

    Most countries have a version of a savory pastry, and in Brazil they call it a pastel. Normally deep fried, our healthier version of the Brazilian pastel is baked, using flaky, puff pastry dough.

Each box focuses on a different country and includes everything needed to explore global cuisine through hands-on cooking, making it an ideal gift for families, kids, couples, and food lovers. Unlike traditional subscriptions, gift subscriptions are prepaid and do not automatically renew, making them a stress-free option for both the giver and recipient.

    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!"

    Great box for our little foodie!

    "This box is perfect for my nine year old who loves to cook and try new foods. The recipes are easy for us to cook together and we love learning about the different countries. The rating system for the recipes after we make them is also a fun discussion in our family."

    Bought my husband a subscription - no regrets

    "Bought him a subscription when it was just one type of box - so like the family one. We loved it! Now I see there’s a date night one for adults specifically and am very tempted to resubscribe for his next gift"

    Melissa (5/5)

    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."

    Explore France

    "I provided this to my clients after their cruise to France. They all loved it, and really thought it was unique. They also said that the chicken came out just like the recipe and was so moist and tasty."
