A STONE KNIFE

A Sun Valley Tradition Gets Reimagined For a New Era

 

A Sun Valley tradition gets reimagined for a new era under the masterful hands of Executive Chef John Murcko. The first restaurant at Sun Valley Resort to receive the Murcko treatment, the new Konditorei offers a fresh take on the classic alpine café experience for breakfast, lunch, and après ski.

Lunch dishes range from pumpkin spatzle with sausage and apples to roasted chicken crepes with spinach and spicy Liptauer cheese. To satisfy sweet tooth cravings or just to warm up on a chilly day, the café offers a full complement of artisanal coffee and hot chocolate drinks, plus house-baked European pastries. At any hour, the Konditorei maintains the heritage of Sun Valley with Austrian-influenced décor in a quaint, bustling café atmosphere.

Chef Derek's '310 Main' Chocolate Cake Recipe. Finally, Yours For The Taking!

This recipe goes back to 1990, when I worked at a place called Cafe Rude in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was printed on the canister of Hershey's cocoa- simple as that. I have since adjusted it for high altitude, as per the instructions of Rose Levy Berenbaum's Cake Bible, and now use Scarfenberger Natural non-alkalized cocoa powder. I figure I've made a little over 2,000 of these cakes in the past 20 years. In the photos below I serve it with my vanilla bean gelato (recipe forthcoming) and subject it to a blizzard of grated Scharfenberger 70% chocolate. Recipe below:
