Gaeng Keow Wan

Gaeng Keow Wan

Green curry is a central Thai variety of curry (also known as gaeng in Thailand) and the type of curry, "green," derives from the color of the dish, which comes from green chilies. In our recipe, we make the dish less spicy by adding more Thai basil / regular basial to the green curry paste. Master this aromatic, delicious, and easy green curry with chicken and treat yourself to an authentic taste of Thailand!

Larb Moo

Larb Moo

Larb is a popular minced meat salad in Southeast Asia, particularly in Laos and Northeast Thailand. Larb is usually made with ground beef, chicken or duck flavored with lime juice and fish sauce (salty like soy sauce) and is always served with toasted rice and lettuce for scooping. In our version, we use ground meat flavored with lemongrass (an essential Thai aromatic), lime, cilantro, mint, gar-lic, and fish sauce, and serve it with cooked rice, pickled carrots, cucumber on lettuce cups.

Khao Pad

Khao Pad

Khao means "rice" and pad means “stir-fried". Crab fried rice is an easy and delicious one-pan meal that is popular as street food in Thailand. The difference between Thai fried rice and Chinese fried rice is that Thai version uses Jasmine rice while Chinese uses long-grain white rice. The addition of fish sauce is also unique to Thai fried rice.

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!"

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."
