We have something here that is part japanese part african was for example, of course with homeless. So with chic piece, it brings to mind the middle east. And i want to go on a culinary journey from one bye to another. We quickly go from asia to the middle east to africa, just thats what im trying to do here. And sandra pay the 29 year old is one of frances youngest stashefsky. Hes already been invited to cook for french president amana, when my com seco runs the michelin start restaurant most okay in paris, and he has his own cooking show on french television. Since june 2022 mari seco has been busy in south hill pay to the city on the french coat as it is known as a playground for the rich and famous here. The chef has opened his 2nd restaurant in cooperation with luxury brand louis veto. Guests can expect a combination of international flavors. Maury suck a wants to open up classic french cuisine to something new. But i could do that, mike was in, is largely influenced by my background and my passion. I bring it all together to create something unique and french cuisine. And i guess let me pull these especially include japanese and african influences which characterize the meals at his restaurants. Maurie sucka grew up with his parents of molly and senegalese origin, near paris. In addition to his classical training as a chef, he was also influenced by the food he knew from his childhood. Because did you live when i opened my restaurant in paris . I was looking for all these traditional recipes. I asked my mother, how do you do this . How do you do that . I learned a lot in the process. Well, what i used to eat, whatever she cooked, but not actually care about how she prepared it. That is about that if it had marco, my live it guess in sample pay, clearly like what maury psychos, new cuisine has to offer them. This is the value her fact. Its a little bit of everything. So many different flavors to discover if given the temperatures here. Its nice and cool. The ruin it tastes excellent. Very interesting. The food was incredible. The presentation was excellent and its a really nice setting to just enjoy murray psychos success is validation for his concept. The club is, is foster. The secret to my success, i think is that i am so passionate about what i do up the guests noticed that i really try to do what i know and what i feel more and do it as honestly as possible. If i maintain the sincerity, nothing should go wrong. Yeah, that i sit there for the webinar for maury, soco, creating new dishes and flavor combinations is always an emotional process that comes from the heart. Hes no fan of strict rules, but what result of the most important thing is to be free to have the freedom to play with different inspirations and ingredients that you find and want to use it to be able to compose freely to enjoy yourself and have bought it even more, i think that if you have joy in your work than the guests will notice and will enjoy the flu, the probably damages in his eccentric creations and willingness to experiment had made maurice circle one of the most popular shafts in france. And shes now dreaming of also opening a restaurant in africa. Looks amazing. All right, well the Mountain Village of careers in switzerland is one of many alpine towns that has seen its population dwindle. There are many reasons for this. Its too remote. Its hard to reach. And there are simply no jobs available. What now there is hope for career because a young family has moved in, and they are working to attract visitors with a restaurant and a hotel. But their accommodation operates with a very special concept in mind. Ah nesta is 2 and a half years old and the 1st child in this small swiss Mountain Village of cody po and about 50 years. His parents threw everything overboard and came here a year ago. Does it have auto and jeremy gary are helping turn curry po into a Hotel Village . They run in australia and rent out rooms and some of the old abandoned stone houses. The village in the to chino region once had 300 inhabitants, but now there are just 9 counting her nest. Oh, and his parents with daddy battle and book was it we heard about this project by chance and we saw it as an opportunity to do something together. Math. At 1st we had a lot of doubts if that but we wanted to give it a shot. More of it. I mean, they love it. Now. It really seems to be working from another and we hope it stays that way. Okay i laura said i havent been in the hotel has a total of 10 rooms so far, but they call it an hour better go to food. So a hotel that spread out across the village. The alley ways are the hallways and corridors of the hotel. The austria is the Main Building and reception area. Desert wattle is trained in the Hospitality Branch laws. Jeremy gary is a gourmet chef and most of us soon if you go out, then were passionate about our work, the hotel, the cuisine, the choice of ingredients and hospitality. Good. Yeah, its a tough job, but we really enjoy it and more that he should a Much Development model if i and i think, but we cant handle everything on our own. We have employees and that live ins, things up here. Glassed on kit ivy. Griego is a listed site, so they were only allowed to make minimal changes when restoring it. The rooms are named after the people who once lived here. The residents left the village because it was no longer possible to make a living here through forestry or farming. A foundation tasked with saving cory bo from decay came up with the Village Hotel concept and bought 10 old buildings. Jeremy gary refers to use local products to cook in the hotel, austria like polenta from the village mil. Horrible lies to the north of lake missouri and the surrounding nature attracts many hikers and sport enthusiasts. Its the 1st season for the new out better go to who so. But already on the weekend its fully booked. Its seen wholly the artifacts. Its a good idea to create jobs in remote valleys. I grew up in a Mountain Village myself. I was thus finish it in its very innovative and a way to get people back into these valleys to enjoy the peace and quiet and the landscape. The awakening of the long term view locals labs hope the project will bring their village back to line. Also, i suspect its ok with me. The hotel doesnt bother us because otherwise the village would die out over time. Because the few of us left here arent young anymore. Down middle nesta attends a kindergarten in the valley below. Its a 15 minute drive away. Desi rave. Waffle is glad hes gotten used to village live salmon involved multiple keep caught in this tiny place. Every one knows every one and, and as to likes it. He says theres valentino, drinking a coffee, mac jato up until. And when we go up stairs he yells by max by savannah shout. He knows every one and its great yada. Soon another 2 rooms are due to be added to the alberta go to through. So because the hotel is doing so well, at least in summer, they want to stay open all year round. The french swiss couple arent afraid of getting only in winter in invent physically in the winter, the aust urrea will be more important. Not so much the hotel and you think, well, we need time but were just getting started, but were pretty competent. Do shut down. Does your a block to let her family had comfortable lives down in the valley before moving up to this remote Mountain Village . But they havent regretted their decision for even one minute. Anyone who wants to become a german citizen and receive a german passport must fulfill a series of requirements. And one of them is a citizenship test. And that is considered to be so difficult that even some germans have a hard time passing it well. With this in mind, my british colleague rachel stewart, sent out to create her own version of a citizenship test, and it certainly reveals some interesting things about germans and their way of life. Ah, click on welcome to your citizenship test. Please take seat. How do you wish them luck in german again . Ah, yes, rachel rachel, i pushed you the thumb city down. Question one.

After on your mars, get so after you go to the hubbard, i say, thanks you too. Okay. Laugh one. Turn over the page and stare at it for one minute without crying. Yes. Whats this points will be deducted for incorrectly marked answers. The germans there tick. When can i get the result . 10 weeks . I love jem and bureaucracy vis. Handmade rugs are symbolic of the far east. Many of them produced in iran or afghanistan. But here in europe, intricate hand woven carpets have long been on the wayne. Since Machine Manufacturing has replaced traditional weavers, however, there is one place in a small town in bulgaria that proudly sil makes persian style rugs by hand. Following a centuries old technique. But we went there to watch the process takes shape, ah, craftsmanship, natural dyes, mathematics, persian style carpets are the pride and joy of this bulgarian nino pod pool of his work has been in demand around the world for over 2 decades for its certificate physical dinner. We have gained a lot of experience over the years with dig nadeau at the peak of our success in itself. I even met with the royal family in england. I crossed the summer. Prince charles is among the admirers of mino, pud pools carpets the manufacturer and bulgaria can meet the exacting standards set by the royals. He can produce exceptionally large, extravagant designs that are also true to the originals. These carpets in britains wild palaces look exactly like their historical counterparts from centuries past due me than a child, according to prince charles, were the last people in the world who can reproduce things that belong to the historical and Cultural Heritage of europe barone. Of this one overall these are the people preserving that Cultural Heritage, the weavers. Their knowledge and skill passed down from generation to generation only. Here is a priceless asset. In years it was live is of the curb. We are the last weavers of these carpets in europe. I think we should keep this tradition alive because it is something of great value. Its in among the special qualities of these new carpets, faithful to historical originals, are the vibrant colors. These cauldron are used to infuse the natural pigment into the wall. It takes mathematical precision to achieve just the right color tones. That is nino pud pool of responsibility. His immense knowledge, the secrets of the formulas are preserved in a hand written note book. He us my opinion, i have to make sure that the colors of the carpet are exactly what the customer ordered, but thats why i work with 6500 pigments which are then used to create the many colors consultants thought youd get a few more little prob, ah, the homeless carpet manufacturer is located about 150 kilometers from the bulgarian capital. Sophia, in the Little Village of costano time seems to have stood still here. The clock seemed to take more slowly than in the big city. The carpet weavers also come from costano val, depending on how big a carpet is and how many colors are needed, it can take up to 10 months to create one carpet. Another secret of persian style carpets. Are there ingenious knots . The thread forms the pattern on both sides. Persian carpets got their name from the region where this method of weaving originated persia in what is now iran a grid system is used to divide the pattern into small squares. Precision is key. Quality checks are made for every few centimeters. Single mistakes can destroy a whole carpet and put the Family Business in jeopardy. The weaver is bare a lot of responsibility. So the big new in an ordinary weaver working here wouldnt be able to handle this many colors. There are up to 240. 00 colors in a single carpet and vestige did as if it is this magnificent variety that distinguishes hand made persian style carpets, industrially produced goods have only a few colors in cos, thunderbolt, however, each piece gets its own pattern and color combination and thus its own price. A carpet can cost several tens of thousands of euros for each new pattern, the weavers have to have extra training. With you have to be patient, you have to be attentive. You have to focus on the carpet all the time. Persian carpets became popular in europe in the early 16th century. Back then, they decorated european palaces with animal tree and flower motifs. They have become an integral part of european culture, also developing their own motifs. Here and co, stunned over this culture and tradition is being kept alive.
