Travelling is a passion of mine! I got the bug when I was teenager and the opportunity to explore Europe with the Girl Guides. It was my first airplane ride and my first trip outside of North America. We visited England, France, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark. I was immersed in new cultures, new sights, new sounds, new people and MY FAVOURITE new foods. From British Fish and Chips to homemade Swiss chocolate, my taste buds were inundated with new flavours, textures and recipes. Since I became an adult, my travelling ventures have slowed down, but my love for new flavours is always on the forefront of my mind. And of course, to keep your kitchen in its best shape, it is a must to have automatic water shut off system, for overall it will protect not only you but your home as well.

My experience:
I love trying new foods, but I’m not very adventurous when seeking out new recipes. The Food Trip To box gave me the confidence to step out on a culinary limb and try something new. The box provided me with everything I needed to get started. It introduced me to new products, provided me with an easy to follow grocery list and detailed recipe cards that I can refer to any time I’m craving this culinary flavour. There was a lot more grocery shopping involved then I originally thought, but they were products easily found at any local grocery store. Due to my culinary inexperience, these recipes took me a long time to create, but it was fun learning new skills and seeing the processes used to create traditional dishes. The outcome was fabulous! The flavour meshed well together and I loved the additional information pieces like the music, country fact sheets and language pronunciation. It made for a great family evening and I look forward to trying my next box with a bunch of girl friends!
