BiteBox, by the Pantry Gourmets, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a monthly membership providing top American Artisan products, hand picked from passionate producers across the USA. Each month you can expect to receive 4-6 full-sized products along with Professional Chef derived delicious recipes that showcase the flavors of those items.
My Gourmet Pantry BiteBox shipped via FedEx and took just under a week to arrive.
Everything from BiteBox is packaged in their signature red bag and then packed into a larger box. Everything is wrapped with bubble wrap and is securely packaged.
The November 2014 The Gourmet Pantry BiteBox theme was “By Golly Be Jolly” and included the following items:
~Moonstruck Chocolate Company Classic Hot Cocoa Mix ($12): There is no recipe card for this, but it’s the perfect addition to this box. I haven’t tried this brand in the past so I was really excited to see it in here. Now if it would only snow so I could sit inside and drink this and look at the pretty snow falling outside!
~Frontier Soups Roasted Garlic Spinach Dip Mix ($3.49): The recipe for this is a Roasted Garlic Spinach Dip or a Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Crostini. I am obsessed with spinach dip and am going to try to save this for all the college bowl games on New Years Day, but we’ll just see if I can wait that long ;).
~Muirhead Foods Cranberry Apple Chutney ($7.25): The two recipes for this item are Apple Cranberry Glazed Turkey Breast and Apple Cranberry Bread Pudding. One of the things I love about this box is that they give you these recipes because otherwise I would be sitting here looking at this like now what?
~Tumbador Chocolate Vanilla Snickerdoodle Cookie Spread ($10): Mmm, SO GOOD. I have gotten this in the past and it’s just delicious. I personally like it straight off the spoon or on ice-cream, but I suppose that we can try the recipe for the Snickerdoodle and Nutella Smores they included ;).
~Mustard and Co. Classic Brown Mustard ($7): Ahh, mustard. I’m not a fan, but in a recipe if I don’t know it’s in there, it’s okay! The recipes for this are a Rosemary & Mustard Crusted Prime Rib and Green Beans with Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette. By the time B makes these I will forget that they have mustard in them and all will be well.
~Chef Salt 7 Salts ($10.95): The recipes for this are a Salt Rubbed Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Thyme and some kind of potato, but I think there was a printing error on that one since it’s exactly the same as the chicken. No matter, we can figure out what to do with salt! I swear, a great salt changes a regular meal into an incredible one.
All totaled I came up with a value of $50.69 for the November 2014 The Pantry Gourmet BiteBox! It basically matches the cost of the box, but I think the recipes and the fact it’s all delivered right to your door add value to this as well!
