KTP-June-2016-Letter

My box contained a card introducing me to this month’s featured country- Korea!

KTP-June-2016-Letter2

The inside of the card revealed that the meal selected for this box is Dakbokkeumtang, a spicy braised chicken dish.

KTP-June-2016-Cards

Kitchen Table Passport sends A LOT of supplemental materials in every box, and they always include a bundle of cards that highlights different aspects of the featured country.

KTP-June-2016-Cards2

These cards provide information about everything from food and culture to location and geography.

KTP-June-2016-Cards3

The cards are beautifully printed and provide a lot of fun info!

KTP-June-2016-MementosCard

This box also contained a card outlining this month’s chosen mementos.

KTP-June-2016-MementosPacket

I received metal chopsticks, K-pop cards, and a roasted seaweed snack.

KTP-June-2016-Chopsticks

Fun fact: Koreans are the only people in Asia who use metal chopsticks!

KTP-June-2016-Seaweed

Roasted seaweed is a popular Korean snack. I’ve tried roasted seaweed before, and it’s not really my favorite, so I’ll pass this along to a friend.

KTP-June-2016-KPop

Lastly, I received a couple of K-pop trading cards. (Kitchen Table Passport also included a QR code that links to a playlist of curated South Korean music.)

KTP-June-2016-RecipeCard

Every month, Kitchen Table Passport sends a recipe and spice from the month’s featured country. This month’s recipe was Dakbokkeumtang, a spicy braised chicken stew

KTP-June-2016-RecipeCardBack

Chili flakes were included to help season the dish.

KTP-June-2016-SpicePouch

KTP-June-2016-Spices

The spices were packaged in a small pouch.

KTP-June-2016-MealCooking

I don’t have a lot of experience with Korean food, so I was excited to give this recipe a try! The hands-on prep time was pretty minimal, but I simmered the dish for about an hour on the stove.

KTP-June-2016-MealDone

The dish contained chicken, onion, potato, carrot, jalapenos, and was flavored with chili flakes and a paste made from gochujang, soy sauce, garlic, and a little sugar. The flavors of this dish were excellent, and I thought the level of spice was perfect.

KTP-June-2016-MealClose

I served the dakbokkeumtang over rice and garnished it with a pinch of green onion.

Verdict: I really like the idea of Kitchen Table Passport, and I think it’s a lot of fun discovering a new country every month! The supplemental materials are thorough and well-designed, and I think the mementos are a thoughtful touch. This month’s meal was excellent, and I’ll definitely make the dish again soon. While I haven’t put a valuation on the spice mix or the mementos, I think it’s certain that they do not reach the $25 cost of the box. This subscription is clearly all about curation, and I have to say that Kitchen Table Passport’s curation is spot on. The emphasis of this subscription is definitely on creating a memorable learning experience, and I think this subscription would be an incredible way to get kids engaged in geography and world cultures. I know I would have loved exploring a box like this with my family when I was younger!

I would love a box such as this but more at a $10-15 max price point. Then I’d be all over it. Reminds me of the card collecting clubs as a kid, so I would subscribe to this at $10/mo and they should include a book or box to organize your info cards in when you start your subscription.

This is such an awesome concept, I wish my children were a little older so they could enjoy it.
