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."

Great Homeschooling Activity!

"It was such a great experience shopping for the ingredients together as a family and then coming home to cook it together! Such a great learning activity to add to homeschooling. My daughter is 4 and loved this whole experience! She got to learn about Greece too and then eat a dish we personally made. How fun is that!?"

Taletha M. (2/5)

Monthly subscription

"I got my son the 6 month subscription to start and see how we liked it. So far we have enjoy each month. But all the months we have gotten have been countries from Asia and my son is started getting bored. I wish we would have gotten more of a variety of other countries. Overall we have enjoyed trying new recipes and foods that we wouldn’t have otherwise tried. I definitely would consider renewing our subscription in the future."

Allison #. (3/5)
