After championing the integration of Alpenliebe Juzt Jelly in homemade dessert recipes over last couple of years, India’s one of the largest jelly brands has, in partnership with Zee Network, announced the launch of the country’s biggest baking talent hunt – Alpenliebe Juzt Jelly Baker’s Studio. The show is slated to be aired on leading family channels Zee TV, Zee Zest and digital platform Zee 5. The latest initiative facilitated by Wavemaker India has been designed to offer the country’s budding chef community a platform to don their chef hats and dish out interesting baking recipes.

The co-branded show is scheduled to be promoted extensively on ZEE channels and Alpenliebe Juzt Jelly’s digital assets; the talent hunt will give viewers a chance to send in their entries for participation. The show will see celebrated chefs Amrita Raichand and Ranveer Brar come together as hosts. Both will also help the brand shortlist 15 final contestants and groom them in a bootcamp to aid their culinary proficiency before the final leg, spread over five episodes. The five winning Home-bakers, one per episode, will get a chance to be the brand’s chef ambassador for one year and have their professional home kitchen set up as a reward to help in their professional journey.

This latest initiative extends the brand’s ongoing recipe-integration campaign to build awareness about Alpenliebe Juzt Jelly as an active ingredient in home dessert recipes to bring alive the brand’s positioning of ‘Family Mein Masti Chali’.

Speaking about the talent show, Rohit Kapoor – Director Marketing, Perfetti Van Melle India said, “India is a country of food lovers, and there is an abundance of culinary talent. Started two years ago to drive in-home consumption, the Alpenliebe Juzt Jelly recipe integration idea has worked very well for the brand on the digital medium. We saw encouraging consumer entries whenever we rolled out a contest. This latest initiative is a step forward to engage with our consumers more meaningfully at a larger scale by leveraging the reach of Zee Network. We hope this collaboration with Zee Network will encourage our consumers to join in and share their renditions of recipes using Alpenliebe Juzt Jelly”.

Commenting on the partnership, Ashish Sehgal, Chief Growth Officer – Advertisement Revenue, ZEEL said, “At ZEE we are constantly endeavoring to collaborate with our partners in offering new and engaging platforms to reach their consumers. The rise of the home chefs has been a standout phenomenon when it comes to reality television in the past decade, and we are excited to partner with Alpenliebe Juzt Jelly to bring this one-of-its-kind format for their consumers.”
