hi everyone and welcome to today's edition of euro max i'm max merrill thanks for joining me on my first show today we've got plenty to look forward to here's a selection of what's coming up in the next half hour. dream cuisine how tade took no has stirred up butlins restaurant scene. now in austrian culture bakes chez in this forest and. coasting along tripping by bike along slovenia's mediterranean show. now germany's capital berlin is known for its wide range of restaurants setting up color in every day lights from all over the world for the last twenty years the organization. has been crowning the best cooks in the region among twenty seven

teams win is no who came to the city as a refugee from vietnam when he was just five years old now he's the proud owner of eleven restaurants in the city and given his appetite for cross cultural christine it's unlikely that. the berlin master chef scaler dinner the most exciting names in the german capital's restaurant scene are honored here. among this year's winners is sebastian from berlin's master chef twenty seventeen he's garnered two michelin stars for his restaurant to. know is still working on his first michelin star he said no formal training as a chef yet he runs some of berlin's most popular restaurants and for that he's been named the city's coloring innovator. one of us. and my restaurants always add something new in the way we conceive and style them this is. why i see myself as

a colon area innovator it's a go to war and suits me for. his latest innovation is funky fish a portuguese fish restaurant with a japanese twist it's a typical no restaurant with a clear concept in both cuisine and design. yet when planning a new restaurant the concept isn't always set in stone. often he's inspired by the space itself. unfitness lots of leisure does mark first funky fish was supposed to be a chicken and beer place. but when we started cleaning the walls we discovered that we had a really nice room here. and suddenly the paneled ceiling stood out and this glass came at the forefront. of. the way it looked almost like an aquarium sitting inside here. so we said ok chicken and beer is out and we need to get

a bit more minor together and make it into a nice fish restaurant with. no was born in vietnam in one thousand nine hundred eighty four five years later his family fled to germany after finishing school he worked in a sushi restaurant and found his calling he opened his own sushi bar in one thousand nine hundred nine after that he created one three rio tape which serves up japanese peruvian fusion food and a french vietnamese establishment specializing in foal the traditional noodle soup of his homeland. doesn't like to restrict himself to a single type of cuisine. and i'm not really a trained chef but. i didn't do an apprenticeship. but i think that gives you more ambition because if you don't have such a sound education or training you can get really creative. i think there are many

self-taught people who are always really far ahead in different professions around the world precisely because they're so ambitious. and. his creativity and ambition helped him win the master chef colin arie innovator award but there's another ingredient to. god i know. he has a talent that you know others have. he can bring things to dishes that can't be explained. and which you simply can't learn to do either. but with all his talent for innovation to do no says there is still one restaurant he hasn't tried yet. when i was a big fan of german cuisine of down to earth german food i grew up with because i experienced all that in daycare when i came here. as a vietnamese immigrant it's always been my dream to give the berliners back good

a forest. these chairs are each unique and they weren't built by a carpenter they grew up in a forest in the austrian state of styria. they have a this is the world's first ever growing rocking chair he said i've never met anyone who's grown a rocking chair and. it's one of a kind. and they've got to have aches they've been growing for around twelve years and it'll need another two years before is finally ready and. then heard schmidt came up with the idea of growing these unusual tree creations in one thousand nine hundred six there and more than fifty seats growing here in this chair tree park at different stages of maturity the artist controls the shape using old chair frames that he hangs from the branches. of the branches get bent into shape when they're still thin and then they're held there until they get

a thing b.c. at the seams. schmidt also intervenes in the biorhythm of the treat depending on the design the chairs are mainly harvested in spring because that's the best time to remove the bark. then they need another two years to dry out schmidt experimented for years to perfect the shapes. of any good soft off because i've discovered if you do things for example how to regulate the flow of sound and how to specifically control how thick the branches grow. this x. redirects the cep so the branches form a heart i did it by me not all trees cooperate there are some that just don't want to like well known elm i found all this stuff out. there a few suitable times so i use maple and is on the hornbeam is good to know certain

trees are my friends the ones that are blind to find the deceased. chairs also grow on trees here in derbyshire the english countryside. gavin munro has been running a furniture farm for about ten years it requires a lot of patients he expects his first major chair harvest in twenty eighteen. and trained furniture designer he uses wire and plastic frames to get the trees mostly willows into shape. also makes wall mirrors and lamp shades. customers from all over the world by his furniture if you order now you'll get a chair in about seven years. it's really starting to become an actual manufacturing process and system that is repeatable in the sky level so it's. you know it's all of these things that's kind of. all mixed into one.

wants to expand his tree park in austria and bring new ideas to life. where they might like to grow bigger sculptures made from lots of eatery ones you can even go inside and sculptures you can climb with. growing furniture a game of creativity where the payoff only comes with patients. now for many musicians writing an album is a labor of love it takes time and inspiration to get the twelve or so tracks done but the front man of finished rock band sunrise avenue took an extreme measures to finalize. his band's fifty zero album summer harbor wrote over one hundred songs and shows the twelve best to form heartbreak century let's see if it was worth all that trouble.

there back melodic dynamic and guaranteed to get stuck in your head sunrise haven't you the pop rock stars from finland. singer sam harbor is especially proud of the new album heartbreak century he wrote more than one hundred songs and the best ones made the cut. it takes time it's not like easy just like your guitar and write a song that you call the guys this record this and that it's there you really need to. put your heart into it and you can do it in like over a week and it will be great like release the next album in december but doesn't work like that. the old gang feeling has returned to the studio explains. everyone's having a lot of fun they've left the new tracks a little rough not too overproduced like this but you know about the mistakes it's not mistakes it's like you're leaving the human touch in the songs because you can

do anything you want with music you can like fix every little detail. you know afterwards but i didn't want to we didn't want to do that. it's not easy to create good music says the finnish front man who shot to fame in two thousand and six with a hit fairytale gone bad the pressure got to him and he needed a break with guitar in hand he traveled the world writing songs he in the band worked on heartbreak century for a year. writing and producing the album it's a pretty. only thing you have to stay in your little bubble and you don't want to i don't know listen to any other like mainstream stuff. despite the stress of producing the forty one year old manage to quit smoking he's thrilled and likes to think he's setting a good example. always

tried quitting like for a really long time actually i always knew that it's bad for me and it's actually really bad for you. you don't need it and i'm really happy they just happened like i don't do this any more and just worked. on his music is enjoying the same success when it entered the german charts sunrise aves album shot straight to number one. well here at euro max we show you talented people all the time whether that's artists cooks or like in that previous report musicians but now we'd like to hear about your talents but it's no what you do best and you could win a euro max wristwatch well if photography is one of your fortes look no further than volved going till months the renowned photographer has had his work

a haphazard way. because it suddenly makes the photography same cell flat. it shows how little photography has to do with true reality photography is just an interpretation of reality. the exhibition attests to the scope of tillman's subjects and styles. the show encompasses not only photos but also videos sounds objects and light and dark rooms. uses space creatively to with an unexpected dimension time. it's all about the moment which in an instant has already become the past. time really being grasped at all. and. every moment is

a sum of infinite experiences taking place around the globe and these are not just infinite forwards and backwards in time. because now. is seen and experienced so differently by so many people that there's neither a starting point nor completeness. and in the exhibit i think i've tried to capture a feeling for time. in that composed a sound loop with his own vocals combined with the pictures it strikes a meditative almost sacred chord. the. the elemental force of the sea.
