Chef Andrew Dunning started his culinary journey at the age of 10 after being served the classic “Bananas Foster” dessert at the Sun Valley Lodge. The flaming dessert confirmed that not only was good food fun to eat, it was exciting to make. With the encouragement of his grandparents, he visited the kitchen after the meal, and the chef personally taught him how to prepare the dish. Today, Chef Andrew finds the same focus in cooking that he does in his athletic disciplines, combining his passions for adventure, travel and culinary exploration. Andrew currently resides in Sun Valley, Idaho with his partner and sous-chef, Mallory. Together they enjoy cooking and adventuring in this world-class mountain community.
