NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HelloFresh, the world’s leading meal kit company, and Tinder, the world’s most popular app for meeting new people, are introducing a new relationship phase, Forking Season. New data gathered by HelloFresh has revealed that the fifth date is usually when couples go from casual to committed, typically through the power of a homemade meal. In fact, “Cooking” is among the top 20 Interests Tinder users add to their profiles. With 81% of Americans agreeing that hosting a date for a home cooked meal for the first time signals a relationship is becoming serious, couples enter their Forking Season when a relationship evolves from meeting out in public spaces to meeting up at the kitchen table.
Ahead of the annual surge in Cuffing Season couplings, with over half (51%) of surveyed singles looking for a match this fall,2 HelloFresh and Tinder have teamed up to help new couples with an exclusive Date Night Delights recipe series. Knowing that deeper connections are created in the kitchen, the exclusive recipe series was curated specifically for couples and designed to make those first shared meals at home unforgettable. HelloFresh and Tinder are also launching a limited-edition collection of Forking Seasonings for couples looking to bring some extra spice to the kitchen, with sweet and savory chef-curated spice blends that both enhance flavor and excite the senses.
