New Suite Meals by Club Wyndham Culinary Series Inspires Travelers to Get Cooking with Recipes Created by Favorite Local Chefs
Club Wyndham, the world’s largest vacation club with more than 100 resorts around the world, has partnered with renowned chefs from around the U.S. to create Suite Meals by Club Wyndham™, a digital culinary series featuring destination-inspired recipes that travelers can recreate while exploring a new city. The series features simple and delicious recipes that families can prepare right in their vacation club suite, crafted by James Beard Award nominated chef Julie Petrakis from Orlando, Florida; Portland’s Chef of the Year Karl Holl from Oregon, and junior chef Gabriel Paredes from Austin, Texas.
Having a fully-equipped kitchen is one of the top amenities guests enjoy about their vacation club membership, in fact, sixty-five per cent of club members cook while on vacation. With a dedicated, mobile-first website featuring the chefs’ recipes, how-to videos and gorgeous photography of the final dishes, along with in-suite recipe cards, guests will be able to recreate the featured dishes at Club Wyndham Austin, WorldMark – Portland Waterfront Park and Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort. Vacation club suites at Club Wyndham resorts offer spacious condo-style accommodations, featuring separate living and dining areas, bedrooms, and kitchens or kitchenettes, equipped with all the tools needed to whip up a quick meal before setting out to explore. The Suite Meals by Club Wyndham recipes were crafted using local ingredients and all of the kitchen tools that are available in vacation club suites, ensuring travelers have everything needed to create a chef-approved dish.
“Club Wyndham is all about inspiring families to live their travel bucket list, and trying new flavors is a big part of discovering a new city,” said Lori Gustafson, SVP of Brand Strategy for Wyndham Destinations. “This new culinary series combines the first-hand, local experiences our vacation club members crave when exploring a new destination, while embracing the digital-first environment our travelers live in.”
