Q: Hey Piquant, pretty sure from yer photos that yer shipment fits into a typical postal box i.e. envelope size, but could u confirm? I don't wanna go up to the post-office to p/u every month :) Ta! BAsked by Beth M., March 2020
Hi Beth!
That's correct that our monthly subscription product is sent to yer regular mailbox (if you live in the USA). We ship 'em in 6x10 flat envelopes via USPS first class mail to help keep our prices as low as possible. For international orders, we have to purchase postage for small parcels due to regulations, and while they are mailed in the same flat envelopes that fit in post boxes, each country's postal service has their own regulations on where to deliver items shipped as small parcels.
Yes, it should fit. The spices come in little, zip-lock, flat containers, and the total package is pretty flat and not much bigger than the recipe cards that are included.
Q: Hi, do you list the individual spices and amounts that are used in the blends in case we want to make it again? Asked by Christina R., August 2020
Hi! Yes, ingredients are listed on the package. If you want to make the recipes again, you can now reorder the spice blends! To reorder, log into your account and click the link 'spice store' in the menu. If you received a gift, you'll have to email us for the private link until we launch a redesigned store later in 2020. We don't release our spice blend recipes as those are proprietary.
Q: Do you have substitution recipes for alternative meats (e.g. no pork/beef diets, etc)Asked by Laura K., July 2020
Hi Laura, we do offer ingredient substitution ideas and alternative recipes in the digital version of each of our recipes. You can see all of our digital recipes on our website piquantpost 'dot' com.
Q: Are there any oils added as binders to the spices. I have an allergy to canola and cottonseed and have to always check spice mixes. I would love to try something like this if it's safe for me.Asked by Marissa M., May 2020
Hi Marissa, we blend all of our own product and do not use any oils as binders. All ingredients are listed on the package.
I want to cancel my subscription but find no option to do this
Hi Pamela,
Sorry to hear you had trouble canceling. You simply need to email us or go to our website to use a support chat. Wish you had reached out so we could have resolved it quickly. We canceled your subscription for you <5 mins after you left this review (our first notice you had an issue)
As far as finding the option to cancel on your account, you'll have to direct your question to Cratejoy, the marketplace reseller where you purchased. You just rated us, the merchant, 2 stars for not being able to find a feature on Cratejoy's website, which we have zero control over.
My husband and I love cooking together. Now we can create meals with so many new flavors to try! We did a malva cake with the Zanzibar zest and it was loved by the family! This makes us excited to try all of them. If you love to cook and enjoy new flavors I would definitely recommend trying this!
My first Piquant and I have not used them yet but they seem good! The only thing to make them better would to be able to choose a selection
This is by far my favourite spice subscription, I’ve tried a few different ones. The recipes are extremely easy to follow and delicious & I love that they have the spices for sale on their website in case you want to buy more for future recipes! They even have alternative recipes on their website in case you want to make something different with the spices you receive. So far I’ve made 2 out of the 4 recipes and I’m literally in LOVE! I’m basically a pro chef now thanks to Piquant Post!
Wow, so glad to hear you're enjoying our service!! Thanks for the great review, Sarah. 🤗

This is a wonderful, reasonably priced way to add a surprise to your month! I have tried all the recipes so far and they have all been winners. I like the fact that the products sent are currated to a specific region. It is amazing!
This is a great way to try new recipes without having to pick up a bunch of different ingredients. The recipe cards are really helpful too.
We have made 2 of the 4 recipes in past week. Have really enjoyed them and look forward to more international cuisine recipes! So fun!
I signed up for this box on a whim earlier this year and I loved it! I looked forward to seeing what new recipes I'd get every month. Not every recipe was for me (I wish there was a way to say no seafood recipes or like, only vegetarian recipes or something when you sign up) but they have alternative recipes for the spices you get on their website and I really liked that. If you're looking for a way to try new things with your cooking, Piquant Post gives you a good excuse at a really decent price.
We have received 3 shipments so far and this was the first chance we had to make one of the menu items. We went for the Bali Spiced Strip Steak and that seasoning was amazing! That was the most flavorful strip steak I have had in a long time. We are excited about the other items we have as well. We bough cod just so we could make another recipe this week. The price is so good for what you get and the recipes look so good.
Our recent May box completed a culinary journey to Japan & Korea! We sent our subs unique spices and recipes to make fun meals including: a savory Furikake crusted baked salmon recipe, a classic chicken katsu curry recipe, an popular Japanese Yakisoba noodle recipe, and a fabulous Korean BBQ beef (bulgogi) recipe.
With our April box, subscribers were sent on a mission to sample the delightful flavors of Turkey! Subscribers enjoyed the following menu: stuffed cabbage rolls with lemony-dill yogurt, an easy, tangy sheet-pan chicken & vegetables, a lightly spiced Turkish red lentil soup, and a unique honey-chili glazed lamb chops recipe.
This March, we sent our customers to the culinary playground of France. Recipes included classics like Coq Au Vin (chicken in red wine), Bistro Steak with Dijon Mustard Sauce, and fun uses of French spices like Roasted Cauliflower with Vadouvan, and Herb Garlic Pork Tenderloin using Herbs de Provence.
This February we sent our subscribers to China to celebrate Lunar New Year! Recipes included a couple takeout favorites that are easy to make at home including: Tangerine Firecracker Shrimp, Spicy Beef Lo Mein (noodles), Five Spice BBQ Chicken Wings, and Ginger Scallion Fish. All of the recipes and spices are perfect for refreshing your at-home dinner menu for early 2020.
This January, we sent our customers on a culinary safari to Morocco! Our subs enjoyed the following menu: a sunshine-bright Citrus & Mint salad, a smoky eggplant-tomato stew, a lovely Lentil & Chickpea soup (Morocco's national dish), and delicious recipe for Moroccan-style marinated Chicken Skewers.
This month, we shipped a box to send our subscribers to Scandinavia. Our menu included holiday-ready recipes infused with Nordic flavor: Scandinavian Wild Game (or beef) Stew with Juniper, a very traditional Danish Breaded Pork, Gingerbread Brownies, and a Scandi-French fusion recipe for Smoked Trout Rillettes that will be the hit of any holiday party.
This November we sent our subscribers to the Eastern Mediterranean to try Lebanese cuisine! The flavors of the Middle East fused with fresh and healthy ingredients of the Mediterranean are perfect to please the palate and refresh dinner menus.
This October, we sent our customers to East Africa, a cradle of modern human history and a region of diverse cultural and culinary influences. Our menu included an Ethiopian Berbere chicken with lentils, a Mozambique-style Peri Peri steak, Egyptian Dukkah crusted fish, and Tanzanian spiced greens.
September saw our subs whisked away to Spain to enjoy a savory paella mixta, a lovely Andalusian spiced gazpacho, smoky spatchcocked chicken, a Spanish pisto (ratatouille). ¡Buen provecho!
This August, we sent our customers on a culinary journey around Indonesia! From the bustling night markets of Indonesia to the sublime beaches of Bali, our subs enjoyed the following menu: salty-sweet chicken satay, Balinese seared fish, beef rendang (Indonesia's national dish), and a Bali BBQ tenderloin.
