 Stamford, Connecticut (June 19, 2021) -- GlenArbor Golf Club, Bedford Hills, New York, is among the first recipients of the rigorous Golf Kitchen Certification of Culinary Excellence. Diana DeLucia, president and founder of the Golf Kitchen brand delivered the Golf Kitchen Certification of Culinary Excellence plaque to Michael Ruggiero, Executive Chef and Fernando Silva, Sommelier, and the club’s culinary team. "Michael and his team at GlenArbor have a unique opportunity to create a high standard of menus due to a supportive membership that is made up of not only passionate golfers, but foodies and wine enthusiasts,” said DeLucia. “Pair these tastes with Fernando’s extensive knowledge, and you have a winning team that nails it every time.” GlenArbor’s 30,000 square foot clubhouse is the centerpiece of the members’ culinary experiences. Built on the site of the White Estate, one of the largest, historic estates in the Town of Bedford, and designed by Connecticut architect Mark Finlay, the building is situated on a commanding site overlooking the golf course and provides countless amenities in an intimate and comfortable environment. The focus of the main floor is the dining room and grill room, which open onto traditional covered porches, taking advantage of sweeping views of the first and eighteenth fairways. The clubhouse is a preferred location not only for intimate dinners, but also for larger events up to 160 guests. The third annual Golf Kitchen Culinary Excellence Awards will be held here on September 9, 2021. “Anytime you are recognized by well-respected industry peers it’s an honor and a validation of your hard work,” said Ruggiero. “Without the dedicated and talented culinary team my success as a chef would not be fully realized. It’s the collective efforts of everyone that gets us to the goal.” The Golf Kitchen Certification of Culinary Excellence is based on a rigid set of criteria and a club’s ability to produce an exemplary product, as evaluated by an independent review of the entire food and beverage operation “We are really honored to receive the prestigious Golf Kitchen Certification of Culinary Excellence,” added Silva. “I believe that as true professionals in the hospitality industry we strive daily to achieve the most satisfactory standards of service and experiences for our members and their guests. In that endeavor we are never alone, it takes a lot of positive energy from every individual on every team.” The evaluation criteria and process were created by an advisory board comprised of noted private club managers, chefs, and culinary consultants. As part of the process, clubs must apply to be considered for certification, followed by an on-site evaluation and a series of interviews with the culinary team and management. DeLucia believes that club dining rooms will become the “go-to” restaurants of the future, an observation made even more likely in the era of COVID. “With more younger people coming back to private clubs, in particular younger couples and families joining clubs and moving into golf communities, a club’s culinary offerings are increasingly important,” she said.

Hello all, September 2021 is the 4th anniversary of Golf Kitchen Magazine. I am so thankful that we have made it this far into the journey. I want to take this time to thank everyone that has helped me with each magazine, as well as Golf Kitchen events, including our first book launch locations Winged Foot Golf Club in 2016 and Cassique at Kiawah Island Club in 2017, the Golf Kitchen Culinary Excellence Awards at GlenArbor Golf Club and Golf Kitchen Punta Mita 2018 and 2019. I thank all of our subscribers and encourage more Private Golf and Country Clubs, Chefs, and Foodies to subscribe in the future. During the lockdowns of 2020, several notable General Managers and Executive Chefs joined my advisory board. They assisted in writing up the first "Golf Kitchen Certification of Culinary Excellence." The certification is determined by the club's ability to meet and exceed its members' expectations in various culinary arena avenues. The culinary experience is often the most judged and most challenging to quantify of any department in a private club. The Golf Kitchen Certification of Culinary Excellence logo can be showcased on menus, websites, newsletters, and annual meetings as a symbol of excellence. The certification can be used to distinguish your club from the competition. 
I will be personally delivering the first framed 9 Certifications in the coming months. As the vaccinations begin to advance, our next step is to resume the certification nomination process and begin to send out our introduction packets and criteria.
We have scheduled the next Golf Kitchen Culinary Excellence Awards at GlenArbor Golf Club on September 10th, 2021. We will release more information in the coming months. Sponsors for this event are welcome to request more information at info@golfkitchen.com or call Diana Delucia at 860 406 1782 to enquire.
The second book in the Golf Kitchen series will resume production and attempt fourth-quarter print timeline. There have been multiple challenges, changes, and a pandemic, but timing is everything, and I believe that the finished product will reflect all of our hard work and perseverance.
Early last year, I became a partner with ClubsHelp Foundation, a national movement that connects to clubs and their members with local causes and the charities that are most important to them. I look forward to watching this powerful network grow in the coming years. I want to congratulate founders David Bachman and Rob Goulet, and the rest of the board and partners for working so hard to create this worthy foundation. The ClubsHelp story will be featured in the next issue of Golf Kitchen Magazine, which will ship in March to all our subscribers. A digital version will be available shortly after. 
I am looking forward to the release of our next magazine which ships in March and features, Dominic Calla, Executive Chef at Round Hill Club, Derin Moore CMC at Reynolds Lake Oconee, Ed Stone, Executive Chef at Baltusrol Golf Club, Traditions in Wine Excellence at GlenArbor Golf Club, The ClubsHelp Story, Local and Healthy at Royal Poinciana Golf Club, Clubhouse Cocktails and more.
I am looking forward to continue to advance the culinary talent in the Private Golf and Country Club Industry in 2021 and beyond. Regards, Diana DeLucia President diana@golfkitchen.com 860 406 1782

 LEARN ABOUT THIS NEW FOUNDATION THAT IS QUICKLY GAINING MOMENTUM IN CLUBS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. DANIELLE TUCKER OF THE GOLF CLUB INTERVIEWS ROB GOULET, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF CLUBSHELP.   GlenArbor Golf Club, Bedford Hills, New York, USA Golf Kitchen, Chef’s Garden & Domaine de la Rivière Wines: Delicious Synergies and 3 Recipes On Wednesday, May 20, 2020, the third one-of-a kind recipe—this one being a trio of recipes created by Executive Chef Michael Ruggiero of GlenArbor Golf Club in New York—will be released. This is part of Golf Kitchen Magazine’s Private Golf and Country Club initiative, Swing Into Action, that is supporting The Chef’s Garden through today’s challenging times. The exclusive Golf Kitchen family of Private Golf and Country Clubs with their Executive Chefs are collaborating over the coming weeks to support The Chef’s Garden by bringing their superior product—used by the finest restaurants and Michelin Star chefs—to the tables of your members, residents, and guests. For this initiative, a different private country club chef in the Golf Kitchen family is curating a Golf Kitchen Chef’s Garden plant-based dinner box, complete with recipe and fine plating instructions for you to create that magical fine dining experience in your home. “Working with The Chef’s Garden ingredients is a true pleasure,” Chef Ruggiero shares. “When you work with the best ingredients that have clean, crisp, flavors as Mother Nature intended, you only need to accentuate, and a dedicated chef of his craft enjoys letting the food speak for itself. No doubt Farmer Lee has tapped a personal relationship with the Earth!” Although each recipe is deliciously unique, they all have one thing in common: they’ve been inspired by The Chef’s Garden vegetables that have been regeneratively farmed in harmony with Mother Nature for the maximum in nutrient-rich flavor. The farm’s vegetables are hand harvested, picked to order, and shipped overnight to ensure that you receive the freshest, most vibrant, and flavorful produce available. This is the farm’s efficiently shipped Earth to Table® promise that ensures ultimate freshness, incredible flavor, and prolonged shelf-life. “From our farm to your table,” says Lee Jones of The Chef’s Garden. “We are all in this together.” Jones greatly appreciates Golf Kitchen and Domaine de la Rivière Wines, adding that “This collaboration shows how connected we all are to one another and how, together, we can use our talents to make a difference in the world as we navigate challenging times.”  “During these challenging times,” continues Golf Kitchen Producer Diana DeLucia, “your club’s members, residents, guests, staff and their families need the highest possible nutrition to help boost immunity. With my background in both the fine dining industry and the finest of Private Golf and Country Club culinary teams, I know all too well how important nutrition is in this current climate. These recipes will be paired with a carefully selected wine by Domaine Riviera. “I am pleased to announce this partnership with Domain de la Riviere in Sonoma County in this collaboration,” DeLucia adds. “Marla Bedrosian has personally prepared some wine selections that will pair well with our Chef’s recipes for your further enjoyment.” Domaine de la Rivière Wines is a limited production winery from the Russian River Valley, Sonoma County. When approached with this collaboration, Vintner Marla Bedrosian never hesitated. “One of our goals,” she said, “has been to have our wines connect the dots between family and friends. When Diana DeLucia with Golf Kitchen approached us about partnering to help The Chef’s Garden during this unprecedented time, we immediately joined her team. The opportunity to connect golf club members to their own community by sharing our handcrafted wines paired with their own Chef’s recipes spoke to us in volumes. We are thrilled to work with the team at Golf Kitchen, The Chef’s Garden, and the individual Golf Club Chefs in creating a sense of community at a moment in time where we are all separated.” To order our vegetable boxes – https://www.chefs-garden.com/products/swing-into-action For our wine match – https://domaineriviere.com/  Farmer Lee Jones and Jamie Simpson, The Chef's Garden, Huron, Ohio, USA About The Chef’s Garden
