I opened a Café / Bakery in 2004 in a small quaint town in the Austrian Alps and I really fell in love with this recipe because it is not at all like a traditional cheesecake, but rather a much lighter and not so sweet afternoon treat.  I especially liked that you could make it a seasonal recipe just by changing the fruit.  My all-time favorite is with Fresh Figs,so I thought I would share this recipe that I used at my Bakery in Austria.  It is a little complicated, but totally worth it.

I first had savory oats this past February, when I was spending my time in London. I instantly became obsessed with the concept and dreamed about it ever since. The warm creamy oats, with savory roasted veg, poached or fried egg… it’s literally everything I crave out of a meal. When Nicole and I were discussing our favorite fall flavors and recipes we wanted to test out, I instantly knew that savory oats were one of them. So here it is, our fall take on a savory perfect brunch item.

Leeks and okra both may not be on your weekly shopping list, but maybe they should be. They are both sweet and flavorful vegetables that pair nicely with many seasons. These grilled leek and okra are a great starter or side dish and are a great late summer into early fall dish.

Late September in the green house studio is humid but the faint winds of fall begin to sweep through. The pallet changes from bright summer sunshine to muted oranges and reds — and the terracotta house shop is just about to open.

With summer on it’s way out and fall on the horizon, we will begin to loose evening light and the warmth of the summer. Many of us will begin to prepare for the coming months of cold air and testy weather for winter is only a season away.

For as long as I can remember, I have been driven by art. First by painting and playing in clay, then by the art of sound and performance. These days I am driven by the art of all things visual.
