Global Kitchen Dinner Set

For the adventurous eater or the friend who’s always planning their next trip, this set brings four global dishes to their kitchen. It’s a great gift for foodies, travelers, and anyone stuck in a weeknight rut. Pair it with chopsticks, a set of nice bowls, or a cookbook from a cuisine they love.

Each mix comes with a shopping list of pantry staples, so start there. Simmer Butter Chicken with chicken, canned tomatoes, and cream or coconut milk, then serve it over basmati rice with naan. For Thai Coconut Curry Soup, simmer the mix in coconut milk and broth with sliced chicken, then finish with lime juice, cilantro, and green onions.

Stir Black Garlic Ramen into hot broth, add noodles, and top with a soft-boiled egg, sliced protein, and green onions. For Saffron & Chanterelle Risotto, simmer the mix with broth following the packet directions, then finish with butter and Parmesan. All four are mild, so set out chili oil or fresh chiles for anyone who wants more heat.

This set is for the cook who loves to travel through flavor without leaving the kitchen. We chose four Spice & Easy mixes that each come from a different culinary tradition, so the week brings real variety instead of small twists on the same dish.

Butter Chicken brings the warm, creamy spice of an Indian classic. Thai Coconut Curry Soup is bright with lemongrass, galangal, and makrut lime. Black Garlic Ramen is deeply savory and a little smoky, and Saffron & Chanterelle Risotto adds a taste of Italian comfort. Each mix does the hard part for you, so global cooking fits into an ordinary weeknight.
