Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion

Are YOU Kraft Canada’s Ultimate Food Hacker?

By

Are you a ninja in the kitchen? Can you take a meal from bor-ing to brilliant! by swapping an ingredient or two? Maybe you’re the queen of one-bowl meals, prepping and cooking dinner with lightning fast precision. Or, perhaps you’ve found the most versatile way to use ordinary cooking appliances (waffle sandwiches, anyone?).

Kraft Canada knows that consumers have never been more committed to eating better, yet busy lifestyles force many to make compromises for the sake of convenience. Enter food hacking — a growing movement aimed at helping moms cook tasty meals, using unexpected twists and elements of inspiration.

Food Hacking is serious business. It’s not just a fancy title for a foodie who can Instagram a picture of their meal. It’s an emerging food trend and social conversation. And it’s something Kraft Canada is helping to amplify, showing consumers that when it comes to meal preparation, it can be as easy as “Get these. Do this. Done.”

To bring Food Hacking to a new level, Kraft Canada is launching a national talent search for our nation’s #IamFoodHacks ULTIMATE Food Hacker. This is the real deal! A real PAYING opportunity with real credibility. The selected winning candidate will be Kraft Canada’s official Food Hacker, develop new Food Hacking recipes and drive food hacking content through Kraft social channels. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity comes with a one year contract including a total of $25,000 in compensation and a generous monthly food allowance designed to inspire creative food hacking solutions.

Need some inspiration? Check out this One-Pot Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta. Everything goes in at once! The water, the seasonings and the pasta. Bring to a boil, then 12 minutes later you have a pot of perfectly cooked pasta!

IamFoodHacks220 g spaghetti, uncooked – 3 cups water – 1 cup halves cherry tomatoes – 1 onion, thinly sliced – ¼ cup Kraft Extra Virgin Olive Oil Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing – ½ cup fresh basil, divided – ¼ cup Kraft 100% Parmesan Grated Cheese

Add cheese; mix lightly. Top with remaining basil. And just like that: Get these. Do this. Done.

    I’m not a food hacker but I must say I’m all for convenience and ideas in the kitchen, I couldn’t imagine entering this.. I can barely handle the pressure for people 2 feet shorter then me screaming how hungry they are.. cause the last ate 3 hours ago.
