Hunt’s Great Recipe Hunt
The Challenge
In 1989 Beatrice/Hunt-Wesson, Inc. wanted to encourage the use of Hunt’s products in new recipes.
The Solution
Marden-Kane administered and supervised the “Great Recipe Hunt” recipe contest, coordinating all details for a final “cook-off” event held in four major U.S. Cities. MK scouted hotel locations, oversaw the ordering, procurement and set-up for each cook-off location. We rented generators, miles of electrical cords, stoves, cookware, utensils, aprons, banners and of course flowers and balloons!
The Results
Consumers responded enthusiastically with thousands of new recipes using Hunt’s products.

MK Staff Paul Goldman, Fae Savignano, Jessie Auletti, and Len Bierman oversee the Hunt’s Great Recipe Hunt in 1989!
