Recipe details
These 3 popular desserts from 3 countries serve 4 people. Note - Click on recipe mixes for ingredients and nutritional facts.
Croatia - Gingerbread
From gingerbread houses to The Gingerbread Man, nothing quite symbolizes the holidays like gingerbread. One of the popular decorations for Christmas in Croatia is Licitar heart, a hand-decorated gingerbread cookie that was recognized by UNESCO in 2010 as the "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage" for Croatian culture. Medenjaci (also made with honey, ginger and spices) is a local, melt-in-your-mouth cookie often served at Christmas.
Austria - Linzer Cookies
Austrian Linzer cookies (Helle Linzer Plaetzchen in Germany) are named after Linzer torte, a pastry originated in the Austrian city of Linz. Linzer torte is one of the oldest known cakes believed to have been discovered in an Austrian abbey in the 1600s. It was later introduced to the US in the mid-1800s by an Austrian immigrant, Franz Holzlhuber, who was a baker.
Sweden - Chokladbollar
It is said that these Swedish chocolate oatmeal balls, known as chokladbollar, are the first thing a Swedish child learns to make! They're easy to prepare with no baking required! Mixing the "dough" into a ball and rolling it in Coco Flakes makes it a fun activity. It is a typical fika treat – that is, a perfect treat to share with a cup of coffee! Note – “fika” refers to the Swedish concept of coffee breaks!

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"
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."
The BEST Stay Home Date Night!
"We thoroughly enjoyed this Italy kit. It was thoughtfully put together and it makes for a really great few date nights! After doing our first one, we are both looking forward to cooking our next meal from our kitchen together!"
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."
Best buy ever!
"We have gotten all the kits from each country and our family really enjoys them! They're educational, not only for the kids but for us adults as well. The recipes bring us together as we learn facts about different countries, cooking techniques, and trying new food."
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!?"
