Tool of the Day: Destination Dinners

Behind the Burner: Tool of the Day: Destination Dinners

I've always loved cooking global cuisine, but not always the strenuous shopping and endless ingredient search that comes with it. Furthermore, nothing bugs me more than serving exotic, unique foods on boring plates.

Destination Dinners solves all of this with their authentic dinner party kits, which provide food, flavor and culture in one complete set. From Jamaica to Bangladesh, Destination Dinners provides you with everything you need to whip up easy and exotic dinners without the travel. My favorite? The Tokyo Dinner Party Kit, which includes everything I need to make authentic Japanese fare without leaving kitchen. With recipes, a set of Donburi bowls, chopsticks and even a CD of Japanese music, I've been hosting sushi nights at my place for all my friends. The recipe kit even includes hard-to-find ingredients like mirin, wakame and dashi so that I don't have to spend extra time searching for them.

Tip: These kits are a great way to learn the basic flavor profiles and techniques of a foreign country.
