Chopped Chef Kimberly Parris Wants You To Try Her New Snack Boxes: What's Inside

These ’Cuterie boxes are looking like a whole dang snack — and then some! That’s because there is plenty inside to nibble, munch, and scarf down thanks to celebrity chef and caterer Kimberly Parris, who carefully curates the bright-yellow subscription boxes, all sourced from female business owners of color. “Everybody snacks,” says Parris, who confides that popcorn is her weakness. “We all just snack differently.” That was the lightbulb moment that led to the origin of ’Cuterie. While restaurants folded and shuttered at the pandemic’s height in 2020, Parris was busy quietly building out a list of BIPOC foodie vendors.

Today, she says, she’s amassed 175 in all. And now the newly launched snack and meal box service is about to take your taste buds on a delightful journey, one vibrant flavor at a time. Prepare to indulge in a cornucopia of chef-crafted recipes and mouthwatering delights. From the bustling streets of Brooklyn to the rich culinary heritage of the Caribbean and the global diaspora, Chef Kimberly Parris is on a mission to celebrate diversity and redefine how we snack.

Let's dive into just some of these tantalizing boxes that will leave you craving more.
