With today’s Try the World review, we’re unboxing the March and April 2016 Try The World Portugal box. The March and April 2016 Try The World Box was curated by Michelin star Chef George Mendes!

Each Try The World box includes a Culture Guide with a description about that month’s destination, curator, and ingredients. This guide also has suggestions for using that month’s ingredients and delicious recipes, like this month’s recipe for Bolinhos de Bacalhau – Codfish Fritters.

March / April 2016 Portugal Try The World Review Wrap-Up

For anyone who loves trying authentic foods and flavors from different countries, Try The World delivers in a delicious fashion. Chef Mendes made it easy to create a Portuguese culinary adventure in your own kitchen, choosing pantry staples that can be used to prepared traditional Portuguese appetizers and after-dinner treats.

The EVOO and sea salt and lemon seasoning can be used to help make simple flavors pop. The pumpkin and hazelnut jam was a really unique flavor combination that can stand up to more pungent cheeses. If you like spice, you’ll enjoy the heat from this month’s piri piri hot sauce.
