Wilhelm Gahabka is a native of Germany, where he trained at Nürnberg’s Culinary Institute, and honed his culinary skills under the direction of many lauded European Chef s in St. Moritz, Munich, Milan, and Monte Carlo.

Entitled The Bay Colony Golf Club Cookbook, the book’s broad range of recipes includes everything form entrees to desserts, each of which is beautifully photographed and presented in step-by-step, easy to follow instructions.  The book was inspired by last Season’s popular cooking classes hosted by Chef Gahabka at Bay Colony Golf Club, and the book features the subjects of last season’s hands-on coursework.

Bay Colony Golf Club General Manager Jerry Thirion offers in the forward: “Congratulations to Chef Wilhelm for producing the first ‘The Bay Colony Golf Club Cookbook,’ yet another example of the professionalism he brings to the club. I’ve worked with him for more than twenty years and know those who read and prepare the book’s recipes will learn to enjoy food to the fullest.”
