“As the buyer for the gift subscription, I’d like to know what’s being shipped so I can ask about the specific spices and if she’s enjoying them. Even if a schedule was online for me to see. I have no idea what I’m sending her. Great communication though on shipment status.”
Hi Tiffany,
You can see what we ship in the monthly susbcription by simply going to our recipe gallery and browsing the recipes posted for the given month. While we post more digital recipes than we ship to customers, you will see the spice blends used in the recipes on each recipe page and we only ship 4 spices per month. Hope that helps!
“I renewed a subscription and I received the same spices as before. When I contacted customer service I never got a reply. I had done it as a gift and was extremely disappointed the person got repeats of the same things.”
Hannah, sorry that you were disappointed that 2nd gift subscription sent some repeat spices. To clarify, we have enough spice blends in our catalog that we don't send repeat spice blends in a 22 months *consecutive* period and we're adding new spices to get to 2 full years without repeats. Also, we always send new recipes to use spices for a totally new meal experience. I reviewed your order and see there was an 19 month gap from when we shipped the final shipment from the 6 month gift to the start of the new gift so that explains why your recipient has received some repeat spices. Your recipient will start to receive new spices as the overlap ends. All of our subscription customers receive the same thing each month so we can make this cost effective for everyone. So, subscriptions cannot be customized. If you prefer to choose exactly which spices the recipient receives, we sell all of them individually on our site and can offer that to your recipient for the remaining orders.
“I have just loved getting new and unusual spice combinations and the suggested recipes that come with them. It's opened a new world of international travel through food that's been really fun. Thanks!”
“I Love receiving my spice packages with matching recipes. So far, every one of them has been delicious. Being a big fan of food from around the Mediterranean basin, I am very familiar with the spices. This was a wonderful birthday gift!”
“Love the whole concept and have found many recipes to make time and again. I wish it was possible to buy the spice blends in larger quantities. And I also wish the recipes were proofread with greater attention. I have several recipes with glaring mistakes, such as a fish recipe that does not list fish as an ingredient. Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoy the variety of recipes and lovely spice blends. It's a trip around the world! Thank you.”
“Purchased this for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. We use a new spice every week. He loves to cook. We’ve received some spices that we’ve never seen before! Love this!”
“5 out of 5! I bought this spice subscription for my husband for Christmas and it has gone down in history as one of our best gifts ever. The recipes are so interesting and fun to make, and we will definitely be making some a regular meal from now on! We are trying new flavors and techniques, learning about different cuisines and cultures, and having a great time doing it together. What a wonderful experience this has been.”
“We have planned our family meals around the spice packets. We are planning to delve into the culture of the areas the spices and recipes come from. Traveling the world on our stomachs! Lol Moroccan Chicken.”
“Although I have received orders before, this current order never arrived! I love the products and was waiting anxiously to use the spices. The order tracking indicates that they never moved forward from one of the change-over stops.”
“Been having fun with the recipes. Some are one timers but several have been repeated, or using the spice mix for my own recipes. Reordering is easy enough, but I would like the option to buy a larger amount in a bottle. For example, the Taco Elixir has several uses and fooling with little packets all the time is a bit annoying.”
“I've really enjoyed getting the mystery packets of new spice mixtures. Some are known to me already but many aren't and it's fun to try the suggested recipes that come with the spices and then to imagine other ways to use them. I'd recommend Piquant Post to anyone who loves to cook, especially out-of-the-ordinary dishes.”
“Thoroughly enjoyed the couple of recipes we have made so far! It's nice to have something to break us out of our routines, but without the time pressure of other subscription meal services that ship perishable ingredients. Looking forward to next month's country and theme!”
