the Mormon culture, says Neil Wilkinson, Temple SquareHospitality's marketing director.
"No matter where they travel, guests want to come and experiencethe food of the area," said Wilkinson. "When you are in Amishcountry, you want an Amish experience. And when you are in Mormoncountry, you want a Mormon experience."
Mormon food. While Texas is synonymous with barbecue and Louisianais famous for gumbo, Mormon cuisine is more difficult to define. Itrequires an understanding of the people and their history.
Members of the LDS faith typically have large extended families,all of whom devote significant amounts of time to church callings.Often only one spouse works and 10 percent of that lone income istithed to the LDS church.
While members today come from all over the world, the pioneers thatsettled Utah were mostly from Scandinavian countries, notnecessarily known for their use of exotic spices or ingredients.
All combined, that means Mormon meals - whether it is a weeknightdinner or a church pot luck - must be easy to prepare, economicaland feed the multitudes. While that can include any number of foodsfrom baked ham to spaghetti and meatballs, two foods have come torepresent Utah culinary culture - Jell-O and cheesy "funeral"potatoes.
Those stereotypes often overlook the baking skills of Mormon cooks.Many parents - mostly mothers - teach their children at an earlyage how to bake bread, rolls, cakes, cookies and pies, often usingold-fashioned recipes that link them to their pioneer heritage.
At a Temple Square restaurant, that means a gourmand will bedisappointed. But for those who yearn for pot roast with mashedpotatoes and gravy, turkey pot pie or homemade rolls, this is theplace.
Tourist favorite. Wilkinson said Temple Square Hospitality's busyseason starts in April with LDS General Conference and continuesthrough September, when dining peaks.
