When will quarantine come to an end? Some of us are still staying home as much as possible because of COVID restrictions or lockdowns. If we have to be stuck inside, let’s make sure we have some really great snacks to eat and drink. Maria Falzo gives you some of her favorite treats and meals that are getting her through these months at home.

Authentic Mexican and Thai Meals
Verve Culture is turning your kitchen into the most visited room in your home with artisan tools and tastes that can create memorable experiences with friends and family. The brand’s concept is about culture exploration and is not product-specific. Shop from Mexico and Thailand collections for iconic items and traditional tastes.
The Mexico Collection
Bring the markets of Mexico home to your kitchen with handcrafted tools, happy hour essentials, and as snacks, a little sweet and spice of Mexican hot chocolate. Artisan Citrus Juicers and the Tortilla Press Kit are two of their best-sellers for their quality craftsmanship and aesthetically pleasing design. You’ll want to leave them out on the countertop once you’re done using them.
More about the Artisan Juicers:
- Come in two different sizes.
- They extract every drop of juice, while the strainer catches seeds and pulp.
- Make it your go-to source for delicious juices for drinking, cooking and cocktails.
More about the Tortilla Press Kit:
- Made in Mexico from old Singer sewing machines and other recycled irons.
- Get uniform, flat tortillas from this long-lasting cast iron.
- See Verve Culture’s recipe for homemade tortillas.
The Thailand Collection
For those who love a taste of the east but find curries intimidating, Verve Culture made the Thai for Two Cooking Kits just for you. Kits use authentic ingredients from a farm outside Bangkok. Choose your protein and veggies and have a better-than-takeout meal in under 10 minutes.
Flavors include:
- Red curry
- Green curry
- Panang curry
While you’re at it, indulge in their best selling, easy to make Pad Thai and Tom Kha Soup too!
Soon to come, Verve Culture is launching their biggest collection yet with their Morocco Collection! From glassware and ceramic kitchenware to soft, handmade slippers and household products, this collection is something to get excited about.
