Autumn Leaves
We love every season in the LunaCafe OtherWorldly Kitchen. Each season has its own cornucopia of ingredients, traditions, and holidays to enjoy and celebrate. This said, autumn is our favorite season of all--as it merges ingredients from both summer and fall.

About Susan S. Bradley
In retrospect, my career path was set when at 8 years old Gramma Mary (numero uno cook extraordinaire in an extended family of German Mennonite immigrant farmers) told the entire family that "Soozi makes the best pie crust I've ever eaten." She had taught me how of course. But she felt my cold hands were a gift from the gods and held the secret to my exceptionally flaky crust.
And so from there I travelled a circuitous career path in and around Seattle, Washington that included the following: Sunshine Kitchen Cooking School (director/instructor), Yankee Kitchen Cooking School (director/instructor), Bellevue Journal American (columnist/restaurant critic) Northwest Culinary Alliance (founder/president), Northwest Culinary Academy (owner/director/instructor), Pacific Northwest Palate: Four Seasons of Great Cooking (author; IACP TasteMaker Award nominee), Cooking Light Magazine (writer), Oxmoor House Publications (writer). And now, finally, this blog and a new home in the beautiful hill country outside Portland, Oregon.
