I love the Kitchen Nomad concept and always look forward to opening the new box every month, however I have to say that I am a bit disappointed in both the recipes and the ingredients of this month's box. France has such a rich and fantastic food tradition but the recipes included are very middle of the road, they could be from any European country with basic ingredients that I can pick up from any corner shop in the UK. With the exception of the Tarte Tatin I don't get the sense that the ingredients or dishes are very typically French and I guess that for me the element of the new, different and exciting is missing. Oh well, one disappointment out of the five boxes that I've received isn't too bad, but fingers crossed that next month's content is more up my street.
Great post, love the products, thanks for sharing honey <3
ReplyDeleteThese boxes sound so tempting!
ReplyDeleteIt's a super concept - I'm surprised it doesn't seem to exist in other countries but the UK at the moment... Xx

DeleteWhat a great idea! The walnut & caramel tart looks delicious. France does have a lovely range of products/dishes. We love the fresh pastries, always tastes better in France though :-)
