'The Idea Pantry' is a community site that the Progresso food label created for home chefs who like to cook with its ingredients.
Teaming up with digital innovation shop POKE New York, Progresso promoted the Italian sauces product line on 'The Idea Pantry' site, featuring home cooking lessons through online video tutorials. When you're stumped with meal ideas, the vids offer you a variety of recipes to cook up a feast. The neat thing about the site is that amateur chefs can communicate directly with the socially savvy instructors by asking them questions on how to cook.
As 'The Idea Pantry' grows, the company hopes to have every new product get its own feature online. The culinary community website is a great way to connect socially with its aspiring cooking customers.
