explore MOROCCO (Family)

The long history of immigration, invasion and colonization of Morocco helped shape its cuisine. Its first inhabitants, Berber, used local ingredients, such as olives, figs, and dates, to prepare meat stews. The Arabs introduced spices and bread. Persians, Moors, French, British and Spanish also left their marks to Moroccan cuisine.

In our explore Morocco box, we introduce families and kids to basic information about the country and to the medley of spices and herbs that are key ingredients to Moroccan cuisine.   Included in the box are 3 popular recipes, and educational materials to learn about the country's geography, history, music, art and language.

Moroccan Tagine

Moroccan Tagine

A tajine (or tagine), is a North African dish which is sometimes referred to as a “Maraq”. It is named after the earthenware pot (wide and shallow base with tall conical lid) used to cook this hearty and aromatic stew. The tagine's conical shape makes a uniquely moist, hot cooking environment - as the food cooks, steam rises into the cone, condenses, and then trickles down the sides back into the dish.

Kebabs

Kebabs

The best Moroccan food is found on the street and not in restaurants! One of the most delicious street food is Moroccan lamb kebabs (brochettes). Just look out for billowing clouds of smoke in the medina and you’ll find kebabs cooking over charcoal.

Spiced Flatbread

Spiced Flatbread

There is nothing more delicious than flatbread that’s bursting with savory Middle Eastern flavors and textures! Kids will love rolling out their own dough, spreading the tomato sauce and topping it with spiced lamb.

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."
