HAVING WORKED WITH DEER VALLEY RESORT FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS, KRISTINE THORSLUND, 36, KNOWS THE THOUGHT AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL THAT IS PRODUCED BY THE RESORT AND EXPECTED BY GUESTS. SO, WHEN SHE WORKED ON A BREAKFAST GIFT TO LEAVE WITH ATTENDEES AT A DINNER THAT THE RESORT PREPARED FOR THE JAMES BEARD HOUSE, SHE WENT ALL OUT. THE EXECUTIVE CHEF AND GENERAL MANAGER OF DEER VALLEY GROCERY~CAFÉ MADE A YOGURT-ANDGRANOLA PARFAIT THAT WOULD LEAVE DINERS TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT WAS BEST — THE ACTUAL DINNER OR BREAKFAST THE NEXT DAY! For the last six years, Thorslund has been perfecting the breakfast, lunch and takeaway dishes the cafe has become famous for. Whether it is their over-the-top avocado toast or a plate of fish tacos, the restaurant is a favorite among locals and visitors all year long. We sat down with Thorslund to find out how to make her ultimate, rich, creamy oat yogurt, which she crafts for special events at the resort.
