Named for its proximity to the Continental Divide, Atlantic City in 1868 was one of the westernmost U.S. settlements where water flowed east.The Rocky Mountain Dutch Oven Cooking Company offers you the chance to spend a weekend learning Dutch oven cooking May 17-18 at the Miner's Delight Inn Bed & Breakfast. Jack Schmidt, wilderness cook and student of heritage cooking methods, has teamed with Atlantic City innkeepers Barbara and Bob Townsend to put on the class. Using a variety of woods and other fuels, including cow chips, you'll learn as you prepare four meals and an appetizer.Dive into Four Corners culturesThe 1,500 square foot space will include a retail area with high-end utensils, bakeware and gadgets, some not found anywhere else in Utah, and a food section with olive oils, truffles, crackers, breads and pastas, as well as cake mixes and other non-perishable items, said Tiffany Spegar, who owns Lorken Fine Foods with her husband, Marty.Lorken Fine Foods will also offer daily samples, one food item and one beverage item from the store, which will be available any time during store hours.The remainder of the space is currently being remodeled into a kitchen area where local chefs will offer classes ranging from Dutch oven cooking to slow food preparation to pastry and bread making instruction.
