Welcome to the 2018/2019 season!
A Message From
T h e M em b er sh ip D ir ec to r s we continue to advance our technologies into the 21st century, we are making several adjustments as a 21st Century Club. First and foremost, the US Mail has become a less-than-ideal method of communication. Car stickers, dues, renewals and birthday cards, to name just a few items, have not made it to their intended targets. Over the last few years, the number of missed mailings has increased rather dramatically. As a result, we are stepping forward and shifting to communications via electronic methods.
A
We have a Members-only Facebook page, email, and our Newsletter as methods of electronic communication. Our Weekly Newsletter is a centerpiece to knowing what is going on around the Club. You are given the opportunity to register for events via quick links, know what specials are going on around our 500+ acres of activity, get notified of important Club developments, etc.. If you are not receiving the Newsletter, please contact the Membership Office as soon as possible. Our Member-only website has been a fantastic addition in enhancing membership communications. The website tool is key to maximizing your enjoyment level around the island. You now have the ability to register your Unaccompanied Guests, sign up for events, make tee times, reserve a tennis court, fill out an event survey, and register your cars to receive the stickers to get you through the gates – all through our Website. We are maximizing Member access to Club facilities by restricting access to qualified guests and members via the website and our guest pass registration system. As a result, you may have noticed we are associating each vehicle to a Membership and distributing stickers out of the Membership Office to ensure that only Members have access to the service.
This year, we have adjusted some of our Rules & Regulations in order to protect the value of your Membership. The adjustments are in areas such as; Unaccompanied Guest Passes, Gate Passes, photography rules as well as a section pertaining to Member Code of Conduct. As with any Club, we must maintain the integrity of the Longboat Key Club’s Rules & Regulations and enforc them. The obligation of enforcing these Rules and Regulations for the good of all Members is placed primarily in the hands of a carefully selected and trained staff. Their principal responsibility is to assure you of all the courtesies, comforts, and service to which you, as a Member of a fine club, are entitled. We are looking forward to this next season with excitement and anticipation and we sincerely hope you are too. Now go out and have fantastic experiences on our beautiful island and we will see you around the Club! Yours in hospitality,
Jonathan Lester
Director of Membership

nspired by our very own Executive Chef Ed Geyfman, The Tavern and Whiskey Bar takes on a sustainable and seasonal menu in order to bring the freshest ingredients to the table. Chef Ed’s long-standing relationships with local farmers, ranchers, dairymen, and producers allow for the choice ingredients for our menu. Along with Ariel Macaulay, the two culinarians have teamed to create a gastronomic delight.

Ariel Macaulay | Supervisor Supervisor Ariel Macaulay helps to continue developing the fresh and sustainable menu at The Tavern. Ariel joins us from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where she began her cooking career at Hoss’s Steak and Sea House as a Back of the House Supervisor and remained there for four years. Ariel built upon her career as the Lead Line Cook at the Skybox Sports Bar at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course. After three years, she made the transition to Sarasota to join the team at The Ritz-Carlton as a Line Cook for two and a half years. Ariel came on board at The Resort at Longboat Key Club a little over five years ago and has now become Supervisor at The Tavern.

PORK BELLY KRAUT WHAT YOU’LL NEED 6 cups 6 ½ gal. 12 1 cup ¼ cup ¼ cup
Phil Maguire | The Tavern Bar Tender Bartending has been in Phil Maguire’s blood since his days in Dublin, Ireland twenty-two years ago. While living in Grand Cayman he broadened his horizons in food & beverage. For the past eleven years, Members have been enjoying Phil’s quick wit and conversation at The Tavern & Whiskey Bar. Phil’s main goal is to elicit a “WOW” from each guest by recommending a new concoction.
raw pork belly, diced yellow onions, diced cider vinegar garlic cloves, sliced white sugar dry thyme dry coriander salt and pepper to taste
In a heavy bottom pot, cook onions and pork belly until soft and rendered. Add cabbage, vinegar, and seasonings. Let cook at medium heat for 1 hour. Add sugar and bring to a boil. Let cool and set aside.
ROTISSERIE PORK CHOP
The Tavern Bar hosts a range upwards of one hundred thirty whiskeys. Phil typically recommends an uncommon French whiskey, The Bastille 1789 which is finished in a limousine cask containing Cognac. Phil describes it as “having a beautiful sweet finish.”
WHAT YOU’LL NEED 7 oz 1 oz 3 oz 1 oz 1 oz ½ cup 1 oz 1 oz 3 heads 1 scoop
Most popular among our whiskey lovers is the Barrel Aged Manhattan. Phil ages a select whiskey with vermouth and bitters for three to four days in a barrique containing oak chips. If Whiskey is not your pleasure, try Phil’s classic Hickory Smoked Martini — a combination of Ultimat Polish vodka, Carpano Antica Formula sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters combined and infused with smoke from hickory wood. The concoction is chilled and served up with a rosemary skewer of prosciutto di Parma.
bone in porkchop pork belly kraut apple-fig chutney cider gastrique white wine garlic, chopped shallots, chopped cabbage mash potatoes
In a rotisserie oven, cook brined and seasoned pork rack for 20 minutes on sear, then 20 minutes on roast. Let cool, then cut the racks into chops. Sear pork chop and cook to temperature. In the same pan, add the pork belly, garlic, and chopped shallots. Cook for 2 minutes. Add white wine and kraut. Reduce wine by half, then add 3 oz of chicken stock. Finish with butter.
Stop in The Tavern and try one of Phil’s libations and don’t be surprised if a story ensues!
Serve with your favorite mash potato recipe, top with pork belly kraut and pork chop. Top with apple-fig chutney and sauce plate with cider gastrique, top with shaved Parmesan, and garnish with chopped chives. 18

Bring to a boil, cover, and transfer to the oven. Cook until short ribs are tender, 2-2 ½ hours. Transfer short ribs to a platter and strain the sauce from the pot into a measuring cup. Spoon fat from the surface of the sauce and discard. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over mashed potatoes with sauce spooned over.

Flourless Chocolate Cake What You’ll Need 8 oz 5 oz 8 oz 3 oz 9 oz 6 3 oz
100% unsweetened chocolate semi-sweet chocolate (suggested Ghiradelli or Callebaut) unsalted butter water sugar whole eggs sugar
“Something on the stove, something in the oven, es,” something in the mixer at all tim –Chef Lori Desorcie
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray inside of a muffin tin for 12 individual cakes, or inside a nine inch cake pan for one cake. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl, in 30 second intervals. Stir between each melt, just until warm enough to stir out the lumps. Make a simple syrup with the water and nine ounces of sugar by bringing it just to a boil to dissolve the sugar. Whisk the hot syrup into the melted chocolate. Whip the eggs and 3 ounces of sugar until frothy, about one minute. Gently fold into the chocolate mixture. Scoop half cup batter into the muffin pan or pour into the cake pan. Bake in a water bath, 12-14 minutes for muffin size or 30 minutes for round pan. The center should just be set, with a little jiggle, similar to a pumpkin pie. Chill completely. Loosen edges with a small knife and flip out onto a plate.
Praline Crunch What You’ll Need 8 oz 8 oz 6 oz
Nutella milk chocolate rice cereal
Cut parchment or wax paper to fit inside a jelly roll pan. Spray pan with pan spray, stick paper to the pan and spray a light coating on top. Melt the chocolate and Nutella in 30 second increments in the microwave, stirring between each time. When there are only a few lumps of chocolate left, stir to melt. Fold in cereal. Spread the mixture into a jelly roll pan, pressing and smoothing down with a metal spatula or back of a spoon until very flat and even to all sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cut into three inch squares or trace nine inch cake pan for a large circle.
Nutella Ganache What You’ll Need 8 oz 2 oz 8 oz
heavy cream Nutella semi-sweet chocolate
Place nutella and chocolate in a small bowl. In a small pot, heat cream just until it starts to simmer up the sides and quickly pour over the chocolate to melt. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and let melt for one minute. Whisk gently until smooth and shiny. Pour over the chocolate torte, over a wire rack. Refrigerate just until set. Use a spatula to move onto the praline crunch.
Lori Desorcie | Pastry Chef At The Longboat Key Club, the craft of the pastry chef is being redefined. Executive Pastry Chef Lori Desorcie and her small yet talented team of four, Hannah Breidt, Lydia Cruz and Haylee Goranson, couple together their strengths and backgrounds to bring fresh pastries, baked goods, and confections of all kinds to the resort and its members each day. The team consists of an artist with a savory background, a cake decorator and sculptor, and a mass-production Supervisor from Disney and Executive Pastry Chef Lori Desorcie. Chef Lori’s initial interest in the pastry field began with making children’s birthday cakes. This interest inspired her to attend the Art Institute of New York City. She then went on to attend The Culinary Institute of America. Lori completed her culinary externship in Maui at Bev Gannon’s Hali’maile General Store. After returning to New York, she worked at How Sweet It Is, a boutique pastry shop, and then Alice’s Tea Cup on the Upper East Side. Lori joined the team at The Sagamore Resort where she grew into the role of Executive Pastry Chef. She spent one year at the Ritz-Carlton in St. Louis and then returned to The Sagamore. Chef Lori’s then joined our team at Longboat Key Club in October of 2016. Growing demands for gluten-free, dairy-free, or sugar-free or any dietary need has challenged Chef Lori’s team to be more creative and innovative when modifying recipes like the classic chocolate cake. This season, Executive Pastry Chef Lori created a Flourless Chocolate Torte for Sands Pointe Restaurant. There are three main components to the recipe; flourless chocolate cake, praline crunch, and Nutella ganache. “Something on the stove, something in the oven, something in the mixer at all times,” says Lori and this recipe is no exception!

style event between eight teams. Teams will consist of six members and two tennis professionals and each member will play with the Tennis Pro’s during the event. Each team will play the other seven teams for bragging rights and prizes that are awarded to the top two teams. This is a great chance for our members to watch our tennis pros in action! Geared more towards the social side are monthly events like Matches and Mimosas. This specific event is a round robin where players can meet new opponents, improve their skills and then grab a bite and drinks with some new friends. Members and guests will also have the opportunity to learn about the exciting new events that Amy has in store. One particularly interesting event that Amy has planned is an Old School Tennis Night. Players get to see if they have what it takes to play with original equipment. Throwing it back to the days of wooden racquets, those attending the event are encouraged to wear old school tennis attire. In the background people will hear 70’s music accompanied by some fun tennis trivia.

With the plethora of events planned, Amy states “Our goal is to provide members and resort guests with the opportunity to meet new people, share their passion for the sport and visit the award-winning Tennis Gardens more often.” Her enthusiasm when describing all that she has in store for the tennis community has us ready to pick up a racquet and get out on the court!

TEEING OFF WITH
We are pl you to o eased to introd uc ur professi newest teachin e onal, St eve Arn g old!
By Alexis Cohen | Photography by _
Steve uses technology such as SAM Puttlab and Trackman to analyze and better measure success. SAM Puttlab employs an ultrasound system to measure one’s putting stroke while Trackman uses Doppler radar to track the club and the ball to measure one’s full swing and is useful for club fitting. Steve has found that this technology helps golfers to gain a better focus on what aspects of their game they need to work on as well as see the progress they are making through measurable data. Steve Arnold and Barry Cheeseman are working together to present a four-week Ladies Clinic. This clinic takes a focus of four specific areas of golfing: putting, short game, iron play, and driving. Twice a week, the clinic group will meet to work on one of these four main areas, working from the green back to the tee to develop every aspect of a woman’s game. Each four-week series will follow this structure but will focus on different tactics so a player can continuously improve her game and technique. Steve and Barry also plan to roll out a clinic formatted in a similar way for men that will run once a week. A group setting like this will provide players the opportunity to collaborate on technique and tips while working with our golf professionals.
Since he was young, Steve knew he had a passion for golf but it was in high school and college where he had the determination to develop a skill set that led him to go pro in 2008. Switching gears in 2010, Steve entered the world of golf management as an assistant professional at Lakewood Ranch Country Club. He eventually found his niche in teaching in 2012 and ever since has enjoyed interacting with students and seeing their progress. Steve’s calm demeanor and patient attitude allow him to work well with students to develop lesson plans and progress in the sport. His main focus when working with a student is to establish goals, analyze his or her current skill level, and create a plan of how to improve.

Alex embraced the challenge to make a profound impact on the culinary operation. His philosophy was to “create a culture and family bond which is represented in every single dish we make.” Says Alex. This culturistic, family bond flares out between Chef Alex and Chef Farah Hamdan who masters the in-house stone pizza oven, where she crafts amazing pizza from the Portofino's menu. “I can say that everything I cook has a story behind it. My team is my family and the food we prepare go together.”

A
lex joined the Longboat Key Club family just eight years ago. While cooking wasn't always at the forefront of Alex’s career path, he has become passionate in the culinary field. Alex grew up in Lima, Peru where he studied English and sought a systems engineering degree for a little over two years. Alex then ventured to America where he started at Paradiso Italian Restaurant in Northern Virginia. From that time, Alex’s career continued to flourish and growth opportunities were provided. After years of developing his culinary style at various businesses, he moved to Florida and joined The Resort at Longboat Key Club team. Alex quickly found his mentors, Executive Chef, Ed Geyfman and Director of Food and Beverage, Bob Weil, that would help him continue to grow in his career as Chef de Cuisine at Portofino Ristorante.
