NOTE - We know this region can spark strong feelings, and we want to share that our mission is rooted in EDUCATION - NOT POLITICS. At eat2explore, we believe food is a powerful way to build bridges and foster understanding. Our goal is to help families connect with cultures around the world, one dish at a time.

Like most countries on the Mediterranean Sea, Israeli cuisine is influenced by foods common in the Mediterranean region, such as olives, wheat, chickpeas, fish, and vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants, and zucchini.

In our explore Israel box, we introduce families and kids to basic information about the country and to Hanukkah (Festival of Lights), one of the most important Jewish holidays.  Included in the box are 3 popular recipes, and educational materials to learn about the country's geography, history, music, art and language.

Note - Actual packaging may vary from images shown.

Shakshuka

Shakshuka

Shakshuka is a beloved dish of poached eggs in a spiced tomato and pepper sauce. While often served for breakfast or brunch, we think this comforting and flavorful meal is perfect any time of day, all year round.

Falafel

Falafel

Falafel is Middle Eastern deep-fried chickpea patties typically served in a pita garnished with various toppings. In our twist of falafel, we mixed lean ground turkey with herbs and traditional Middle Eastern spices and made them meat patties.

Za’atar Cauliflower Steak

Za’atar Cauliflower Steak

Lighten up your month with Middle Eastern and Meatless Monday-inspired cauliflower “steaks.” These satisfying steaks are rubbed with za’atar (a unique and aromatic Middle Eastern spice blend which includes herbs, dried sumac, and sesame seeds) and then roasted until tender.

Reviews

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)

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."
