During this season of social distancing and staying safe at home, the Utah Office of Tourism has created a host of very Utahan recipes from signature chef’s dishes to Utah classics to some great cocktail recipes for your next Zoom catch up with friends.

Whether with kids, pets or solo, future visitors to Utah can experience the state virtually, feeling that jolt of Utah-inspiration run wild inside.

Breakfast
Who doesn’t love a good weekend breakfast or brunch at home with family and friends?

Hub and Spoke Diner in Salt Lake City is a small, local, family-owned business committed to preserving the American-Diner legacy through forward thinking culinary excellence. Serving creative riffs on classic diner food through high-quality ingredients sourced from local Utah farmers and artisans.

Their dish: Francesinha (Portuguese breakfast) – Ham, sausage & short rib on toasted sourdough with Swiss cheese, sunny side up egg & tomato beer sauce. Recipe here

Dinner
A kitchen is a special place — large or quaint, remodeled or retro. No matter the size, any cooking-space has the power to yield creativity, experimentation and a great deal of “mmmmm’s.”

We recently reached out to Utah culinary artists and asked for their recipes that all chefs (yes — you!) can recreate from your homes. These dinner recipes are simple to create and designed to give you a piece of #UtahFromHome.

The staff at Goulding’s Stagecoach Restaurant, located in Goulding’s Lodge in Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park, are 100% Navajo. Each staff member has a family fry bread recipe that was handed down from great-great grandmas, to great-grandmas, to grandma, to mothers and so on. When you visit Goulding’s Lodge next time, be sure to order the Fry bread/Navajo Tacos. They are yummo. Recipe here

Dessert
A homemade dessert is one of the finer things in life, and perhaps you’ve found yourself needing a bite of something sweet (+ a touch of salt).

Utah is the Craft Chocolate Capital of America and home to eight bean-to-bar chocolate makers so the next time you are in Utah be sure to check them out.

In the meantime, try baking one of Salt Lake City’s favourite chocolate chip cookies:
Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies by Marian McKenney of Caputo’s Market & Deli. Recipe here.

Happy Hour
The business and craft of distilling has been booming in Utah, ever since High West Distillery opened its doors in Park City in 2006.

We reached out to Utah mixologists for a recipe that can be recreated from home. Cheers to a sip of #UtahFromHome until your local happy hours resume.
