1. How many people will the box feed?

- We plan the boxes for a family of 4, including two adults and two smaller appetites.  Some items in the box are meant to be tasting potions, which we will be sure to call out on the menu, other items will be larger, full servings.  If you need more servings for your family, there are two options:

         a) Purchase additional servings listed next to the weekly Travel Dinner Box to bulk up your box.

         b) Check our retail store, Cured Market, for additional fresh items along with bulk freezer items to add onto your Travel                    Dinner Box purchase by 4pm on Wednesday before.

2. How much cooking is involved once I receive my box?

- We do all of the prep work and will give you all the components to make finishing your meal as easy as possible.  However, numerous studies have shown that kids are more likely to try new foods if they are involved in preparing them, so we try to incorporate one interactive element in each box.  In previous travels, participating junior chefs have helped to pipe chocolate mousse into giant fortune cookies (Japan), stuff raviolis (Italy), and create bananas foster crepes (Louisiana).

​

3. My kids are picky - will they find enough to eat?

- Oh, we have been there!  Getting kids to try new foods can be tricky, but it is one of the greatest ways to introduce them to new cultures.  We have also created a Pinterest page full of great tips on ways to entice your kids to try new flavors.  Most cuisines offer variations of familiar foods; rice, pasta, chicken, desserts and we aim to include something that they can relate to in each box.  

​

4. Why do some weeks not include a drink?

- In order to make sure the boxes stay as affordable as possible, we vary the "extras" that come with each dinner.  Your box will always include an appetizer, at least one entree, sides and, a dessert.  Rotating items may include a virgin beverage; with suggested alcohol pairings for those ready for an adult treat, a small activity, or a trinket representative of that country.
