Chef Angelo Ljubicic frequently receives requests for
recipes of some of his more memorable creations or for traditional Club favorites. Unfortunately, the recipes used
by the Club's kitchens are not suitable for home use--not too many can use a recipe for 150 pounds of poached salmon.
So Chef Angelo has agreed to downsize some of his secrets and publish them on the web site from time to time.
His first offerings are:
