Slow Living🌿 | A Quiet Week in the Alps: Gluten-Free Baking Tarts, Making Art, Mountain Music & Cows

Hello and welcome! 🌿🤍I’m Iryna, a watercolor artist living in Tyrol, Austria. Welcome to another quiet week in my life, filled with art, cozy moments, and the magic of the Alps. In this video, I’m sharing: Baking at Home: Making delicious gluten-free sweet cheese and pear tarts from scratch. Kaisertal Farm Visit: Walking through the serene valley and meeting friendly farm animals. Plein Air Painting on Kaisergebirge: Taking the Kaiserlift up into the mountains to paint outdoors (plein air) surrounded by nature. Soft music was echoing through the peaks, making the atmosphere truly magical. A Surprise Guest: An inquisitive cow decided to keep me company while I was painting my watercolor piece! A New Creative Project: On the ride back down, inspiration struck — starting my very own handmade recipe book to collect cozy home recipes. Thank you so much for watching and spending this peaceful time with me.

Combine the rice flour, corn flour, and baking powder, then add them to the wet mixture. Mix well into a soft dough and set aside for 10–15 minutes to rest. Make the Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the smooth cheese, egg yolk, sugar, and vanilla sugar until creamy. Shape the Tarts: Divide the dough into equal portions and form round disks with a slight indentation in the center for the filling. Fill & Decorate: Spoon the cheese filling into the center of each dough disk and top with fresh pear slices. Egg Wash & Bake: Beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and brush the edges generously to hold the shape and get a nice golden color. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25–30 minutes until golden brown. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00:00 — Intro & Cozy Ambience 00:00:50 — ASMR Baking Gluten-Free & Lactose-Free Tarts 00:08:05 — Visiting a Farm in Kaisertal 00:12:05 — Riding the Kaiserlift 00:08:29 — Visiting the Farm 00:15:47 — Plein Air Painting in the Wilder Kaiser 00:17:38 — Alpine Cows & Mountain Plein Air 00:19:44 — Making My Handmade Recipe Book 🎵 Music Credit (All tracks from the YouTube Audio Library): Seventh Heaven - E's Jammy Jams Once In A While I Dream - Tama Shutts Swaying Silhouettes - Nathan Moore
