DESTINATION DINNERS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE

DELIVER STYLE AND TASTE AT HOME

For some travelers, the gift of a Destination Dinners Recipe Kit can serve as a gateway to a country and culture they will experience for the first time. For others, Destination Dinners Recipe Kits can celebrate a trip well traveled, an opportunity to share stories, snapshots and postcards over a great meal. They’re also perfectly appropriate for armchair travelers, a delicious reminder of the sheer diversity of cultures in our world. Reveling in a culturally authentic meal may just inspire a trip to that foreign land, but even if that’s not possible, there’s no reason not to enjoy a cultural feast.

Destination Dinners are elegant, beautifully boxed recipe kits, often given as gifts. They provide the home cook -- whether novice or expert -- with pre-measured hard-to-find ingredients needed to prepare an exciting dinner from around the world, a shopping list for fresh ingredients from a local supermarket, cooking instructions and tips, as well as fascinating cultural information that lends an air of adventure and celebration to those gathered at the dinner table.

“Destination Dinners are all about sharing culture through delicious authentic meals,” says company Founder and Culinary Adventurist Lisa Diamond. “Our goal is to excite the taste buds while igniting the curiosity about places people may not be familiar with or to remind travelers of a wonderful trip they have taken.”
