Project Angel Food meals are not only medically tailored; they are delicious. Project Angel Foodie Friday is our way of sharing some of the goodness. We convinced Executive Chef John Gordon and the team to spill some of their tasty secrets and over the next several weeks recipes from actual meals our clients love.

First up: Tasty Turkeyroni! It’s a favorite recipe of both chefs in the Project Angel Food kitchen and clients.

Head chef Daniel Clavel, who’s worked for Project Angel Food for 20 years, loves it’s home-cooked vibe. “It’s amazing how everyone here works together on one recipe, from the prepping to the packaging. The best is how you feel when you receive a thank you from a client. I love it.”
