Gourmet Foods and Sauces Made in the USA


Hook to Cook Gourmet Foods, Inc. is a Michigan Corporation owned and operated by a very 
talented couple named Mark and Debbie Hagendorff.  The Hagendorffs have been married and 
business partners for over 30 years.Mark and Debbie began taking guests out for day fishing 
charters and provide a gourmet lunch for the guests with the fresh fish just caught, hence the 
name Hook to Cook was created.  The Hagendorffs would prepare the pan fried fish with their 
own special recipe fry mixes, made with only the finest ingredients.  Charter customers were 
so elated with the flavor and the light and crispy texture of these fish that many of them 
encouraged the Hagendorffs to bring their recipes to market.  After a year of working closely 
with a food scientist the Hagendorffs finally had their recipe perfected.  It took another year to 
find a co-packaging company.  The Hagendorffs developed the name, logo and the look and 
feel of the packages, thus Hook to Cook Gourmet Foods, Inc. was formed. Hook to Cook 
products are available in finer markets in the Metro Detroit area with it’s first sale in Nino 
Salvaggio’s in May, 2005.  The Hook to Cook Gourmet Foods product line has rapidly 
expanded to 4 products with several more being in the developmental stage.  A team of cooking 
demonstrators can usually be found in several stores in the area on weekends cooking up 
delicious samples of coconut shrimp or tilapia along with light & crispy vegetables or chicken, 
all featuring the Hook to Cook gourmet coatings.
