A Dozen Cousins crafted different flavored seasoned meals cooked with avocado oil. 

Growing up, our kitchen was a delicious melting pot of Creole, Caribbean, and Latin American cooking. As I got older and learned the importance of eating naturally, I hated that it was so hard to find convenient foods that were both healthy and authentic. I started A Dozen Cousins so that it would be easier to enjoy authentic cultural recipes made with whole ingredients.

P.S. The brand name is inspired by my daughter, her 11 cousins, and all the great family dinners we enjoy together. Also, it's really fun to say ;)

A Dozen Cousins earns mixed-to-positive reviews, delivering convenient, clean-ingredient rice, beans, and marinades that many find flavorful—especially Cuban Black Beans and Garlic Lime marinade—yet inconsistent seasoning and occasional texture issues temper the praise. Reviews commend quick prep, added protein from bone broth, and versatile pairings, but note bland or odd aftertastes, clumping or hard rice, occasional off-putting smells, and comparisons to ordinary instant options.
