the two part documentary and new show will be available here on d w starting in january it's time now for our architecture and design series your mac still looks this week we travel to sweden to visit a man who designed and built his own family home the end result is pretty impressive any actually seems quite humble about it as if everyone builds their own houses all the time let's head over to stockholm for a closer look. welcome to. this is the home of alan spiegel his wife and their two children in san antonio a suburb of stockholm. it stands on a rocky hillside shaped by the last ice age did not first clear and flatten the site as many do here. it's more natural to adopt

a house or nature than nature to a new build houses so if we had to take everything away with it i don't want we have to refill it and then we have to try to make a new nature and first of all it's expensive and it's also quite ugly. is a furniture designer and interiors consultant he designed the house with his architect friends it's comprises cubes and of long stacked like shipping containers. and interesting him to try to build new things for instance in my daily work we produce for insurers and we always try to make some detail better or something thinner or stronger and if you build a normal wooden house in sweden. i can do it blind

it's easy for four of the four to most people if you know how to use a hammer and a saw. will build the house with his bare hands and some help. the ground floor is open plan designed to be a welcoming spanx where family and friends can come together. such gatherings often center on eating together so the long stainless steel kitchen counter is at the heart of it all. in sweden it's cold like six months per year so the house is it's a place where you meet your friends and if you compare to like spain you go out and eat dinner with your friends but you don't do that in sweden of course you go to restaurants but you don't go to restaurants three four days per week so in sweden

is very. i think it's very important to have a house where you can meet your invite your friends. stands at the bedrooms and bathrooms. i would not have the sliding doors if i may make this product one more time because you can hear lots of sounds so it's too little privacy for for the children and even for us and it works when the children are small but it doesn't work when the children are growing up and getting when they are becoming adults need privacy. alan beagle lost ten kilograms with the exercise he got carrying all the materials and building the house. it was a new experience not everything went quite according to plan. and color blind.

i always had one guy with me we were we were always to when we were building because we always made to be two and the house have four colors i don't really know it's like four brown different. colors and we were painting. the whole day were finished with this war in the afternoon my wife came and she said it's wrong color and i was angry with my friend because i said. and then he said yeah but. that clearly didn't prevent them from finishing the colorful villa. and you can find loads more delightful designs on our you tube channel d.w. interior design. now we bring you another installment of our quirky color in every series indulging experiments in the previous days we've shown you

a restaurant in amsterdam that serves nothing but avocados and ukrainian chefs preparing sculptures out of cure what pork fat but trust me this might be the strangest idea yet at the restaurant the more blunt the food the better chef to bust down funk love serving his dishes buns to the crisp sounds strange but it has won him two michelin stars so we thought it was worth a try. me tom cole is a flame thrower hay from mt past and a hot plate heated to five hundred degrees celsius it's got. some guests are really bowled over by it and they say they'll remember the dish in ten years' time but others simply send a plate back on touched and say they can't eat it this kind of this. cabbage blackened beat and scenario fish with a burnt crossed and

a gravy made from spray paint. oh yes and leaked you know this isn't the result of some kitchen design or a fancy new technique but an old southern european cooking method. there's a traditional roast cream we diced celeriac and carrots cooked them really slowly for over two hours almost letting them burn all the water had boiled off and the ingredients were almost black it was something completely new it no longer tasted of character celeriac we decided we wanted to pursue this technique for the best young conch has been working in the restaurant torvalds for some seven years as the austrian born chef took over the helm in twenty four team the fifty six year old has been awarded two michelin fellows but not only with burnt offerings. the barbecue enables me to reduce the air supply and the temperature. as i can put

a lid on it seal it tight and then i can cook what's on the grill for several hours in the remaining heat exposing it to smoky romas and the like it gives me a completely different result than briefly frying something in a pan it just puts a bomb in but what about a possible cause an agenda that can form during the roasting process. in my system if you kill for bond is my. i don't know how many kilos of burned food you'd have to consume for it to pose a serious danger. we're going to be exact about this the same thing happens with a fried egg it's protein forms harmful substances in the pan the crust is just millimeters thick and only accounts for two or three percent of the whole it's mainly serves as a protective shield for the taste inside which is intensified by three hours of cooking it's give your soul to start with this very slow cooking method it's all about removing water reduction intensifies the taste of the vegetables or the fruit

or in the case of the beets primarily the sweetness this contrasts with and beautifully compliments the smoky flavors. but when the burnt leak is concerned it's all about the way it feels in your mouth. you might have to bend some help to go for it so it's really interesting to say it feels dusty might sound a bit negative but i don't mean it that way it's not like biting into a slice of burnt toast at home that tastes different of course this does have that dark roast aroma but it's very tasty. it's like barbecued. chicken to foods that's very well done indeed. well next time you burn your toast you can call yourself a muscle chef now all this week we've been asking you to send us a picture of your favorite ingredient and one of the entries will win this great
