My daughter gave me a subscription as a Christmas present while our families were quarantining together. It was so much fun! It introduced us to several cuisines that were totally new to us. The recipes were easy to follow and the spices were transformative - fresh and pungent and delicious.

In their language, quinoa means ‘mother grain’. Aji panca is very mild chili pepper with a fruity-sweet flavor.
