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!"

Q&A

Is there a vegetarian option?: You can request for vegetarian optional boxes. Right now France is not vegetarian optional but Brazil is. We can swap France with Greece which is vegetarian optional. You will need to contact us at "contact@eat2explore.com" after you place the order OR put a note at checkout to make both boxes vegetarian. Hope this helps.
