Featured Musicians

Music is a vital part of our Culture Boxes.
We believe that a culture's music is an integral part of its identity. Pairing music with food from the same region can give a much deeper and richer experience of that tradition. We also love to showcase local Ontarian musicians and bands playing and singing songs from their heritage.

This is more than just a meal kit
Wow! What a fun cooking experience! My family and I bought Just Be Cooking's "French Classic Treat". The curated playlist paired so perfectly, it was hard not to dance along to. And the desserts turned out fabulous.
