I want to send a sincere thank you to everyone who has purchased, shared, or donated to Culinary Passport.

It is a tremendous blessing to have your support.

We are still in need of approximately (9) knife sets. Unfortunately, one of our donations did not make it to us and it looks like a misdirected or stolen package.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1ZU3TEZCP4O1K/ref=nav_wishlist_lists_2

Nevertheless, we are pushing toward our start date of June 20, 2023!

If you are able to share this link or make a purchase of a knife kit, please do so!
