Blue Apron is partnering with FOX’s competitive culinary series MASTERCHEF to give fans exclusive access to winning recipes inspired by the series’ top 10 contestants. Blue Apron collaborated with the series producer, Endemol Shine North America, to recreate recipes from MASTERCHEF episodes airing Wednesday, Aug. 23rd (8:00 – 10:00PM ET/PT) on FOX through the finale on Wednesday, Sept. 20th (8:00 – 10:00PM ET/PT). Over five consecutive weeks, Blue Apron will feature a total of ten MASTERCHEF-inspired recipes – including two dishes from the season finale – across its two-person and four-person menus for home cooks to prepare in their own kitchens and taste the dishes that crown the MASTERCHEF Season Eight winner. For the first time ever, fans can enjoy MASTERCHEF recipes that will be revealed on Blue Apron’s menu in real-time as the winning dishes are presented on-air.
This is the second strategic partnership between Endemol Shine North America and Blue Apron, which started with MASTERCHEF JUNIOR in this past spring. In April 2017, Blue Apron collaborated with Endemol Shine North America to develop a Mystery Box Challenge for MASTERCHEF JUNIOR Season Five, where the winning dish was made available for Blue Apron customers at home, following the episode.
“Blue Apron’s partnership with MASTERCHEF JUNIOR earlier this spring was enthusiastically received by our customers and we’re excited to expand our relationship with MASTERCHEF to reach even more families across the country,” said Jared Cluff, Chief Marketing Officer at Blue Apron. “We’re passionate about creating incredible cooking experiences and are thrilled for our growing community of home cooks to bring the excitement of the MASTERCHEF kitchen into their own home kitchens.”
“We could not be more excited to extend our relationship with Blue Apron to MASTERCHEF,” said Tamaya Petteway, Senior Vice President, Brand and Licensing Partnerships, Endemol Shine North America. “Together Blue Apron and MASTERCHEF share a mission to bring unique culinary experiences to homes across the country, and inspiring food lovers to elevate and create delicious meals. It’s a natural next step to deliver this new experience to our fans, and we are eager to continue our relationship.”
Between August 24th and September 25th, 2017, fans can visit Blue Apron’s website to order recipes inspired by winning recipes from MASTERCHEF on both its two-person and four-person menus. Blue Apron will then deliver fresh, perfectly-portioned ingredients and step-by-step instructions for customers to cook the recipes at home. Blue Apron will also offer a chance to win a week long Caribbean culinary vacation on the MASTERCHEF Cruise.
Home cooks that order one or more MASTERCHEF-inspired recipes from Blue Apron’s menu for delivery during the first two weeks of September – delivery starting September 4th – will automatically be entered into a sweepstakes for a chance to win a seven-day getaway for two aboard the MASTERCHEF Cruise.
