Then i think. Exciting isnt it. Both originally from israel they met while studying. There a couple professionally and in private they founded raw edges in 2009 products are a folding chair and a folding lamp for leave a ton decor for vittra and the stock drawer system 1st stablished and sons. I have a very strong interest in 3 dimensional unfolding and. She has a very particular interest in. Interest in cut us so its very its very blaring their ways but its.

Draw on a large scale of paper and. Then we had like humans and then we took form and we filled the form and then this hollow paper that cannot hold the weight of a person then after it was. The word of a person. The design of the county chair for italian label moreau so its also based on a simple idea that looks a bit like a toothpaste tube cut in half. Colors of materials plate equally important roles for raw edges. The designers experiment with various techniques such as boiling wood. That gets die all through the grain and makes the color more durable and longer lasting. Shy uncle a likes to work with wood of different colors thats cut across instead of with the grain as usual.

There are very few go mission if who specialize completely in meatless dishes here in europe there are currently only 5 vegetarian restaurants that have been awarded in michelin star the 1st shift to cook at this level using only vegeta is paul even if he runs the team in vienna and he is able to create and you mazing dish just from something as simple as a bunch of carrots and as we are about to see he uses the green bits to. This chef knows how to make vegetables the priming gradient of gourmet cuisine. Hello my name is paul and today ill show you how to prepare a wonderful vegetarian cuisine sustainably. This dish is an almost to the humble character. Ringback different from the us all of the carers this is one of things and thats one of the main principles of my cuisine we include the green bits medicines and i can make a salad out of that or as ive done here we can dry and mix and powder them. I was to cope and so i sliced the carrots themselves and braise the mental side by extract the water so there countries in this. Group then we marinate the carrot slices in a little polish vinegar and give us more modern you to be slim then we cook up the carrot shells a little and dry them because of his loss.

In Northern Europe thank you terry increasing can be a challenge especially in winter when mostly tubers or types of cabbages are the only fresh ones available but vegetables dont necessarily have to be flown injuring winter the city farm is experimenting with the rides of lettuce and cabbage the can survive even freezing temperatures and the as yes without the asians lettuces are really the hardest against frost they can thrive in the winter and survive temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees celsius even on open ground and another one that can stand frost is when. Personally tonia it can withstand if least as much cold as the asian lettuces. Can also feel. It it likes to draw inspiration from the city farm is especially keen on flower sprouts a cross between brussels sprouts and kale. One of my favorite vegetables. Were going to try to use the stems and the trunk and. The trunks very better. We tried to freeze it with the rest to loosen up a cell structure a little bit. And the pit inside has a very exciting taste but were still experimenting. Back at the restaurant if each starts preparing the Fresh Flowers sprouts he braces some likely and deep fries others didnt say into the sun i think its very interesting to play with the textures of vegetables and such created by the different cooking process that bring out different flavors so we have a whole new wealth of nuances and more guns on the full 2nd that i know thats whats so important to me personally and vegetable cuisine a certain size of. A barley mash compliments the nutty flavor of the flower sprouts its garnished with flowering cabbage leaves and a burger mart sauce and the concept of the team on restaurant is dispense with meat save energy while cooking use locally grown produce and avoid waste. This kind of sustainability can be tried at home too. In the thought of in fact self we very often have a bad conscience been sick of this for we should free ourselves about the little ones and from the pressure and remember the school that this is by think about it its far better for every one of us to save 25 percent of them for one individual to save 100 percent on the port side. But it would be a shame if people only went to the restaurant to ease their conscience above all its a place for gourmets who are keen to experiment. Ever since 985. 00 the e. U.
