11:47 pm
a much poorer place without them. and just as you don't have to travel very far to see all of those wonderful you know sco world heritage sites you don't have to travel very far here in berlin to experience international cuisine today for our ongoing series fifty kitchens one city we are featuring indian food from a british chef enjoy. i've been in ten years and i have to say i feel increasingly less connected to. feel much more strongly european than i do. but of course you know country behind it's always it's always very very nice. grinstead is head chef at berlin's news a restaurant for her cooking used to be a hobby now almost by coincidence it's become her profession when she moved to
11:48 pm
berlin in two thousand and nine with her german partner to be a stellar they didn't know anyone. and both missed sharing meals with friends. so they started what they called the supper club. you know that's what a supper club is for you cook for people whom you don't know in your home and typically they make a voluntary contribution towards the costs at the end of the night but it's not something that is fun for profit it's not a business i think a lot of people do start supper clubs is a bit of a test to see if they want to run a restaurant but for us that was not the case we were really just love to cook and entertain people and we wanted to get to new people. the software club idea originally invented in cuba here in earth soon there was even a waiting list with diners eager to sample their food their small flat head space for just twenty guests so when the premises of
11:49 pm
a formal restaurant became available in the neighborhood they jumped at the chance . they spent four weeks renovating building much of the furniture and interior decorator themselves. they opened in august twenty third team ninety guests came on opening night. i have never trained as a chef professionally my mother is actually very good but i did not learn from her when i was a child. i was more interested in eating i guess than cooking but then i moved away when i went to university and it was to be honest a bit of a shock to realise that get fit doesn't appear automatically on the table at the end of every day so i started cooking because i wanted to feed myself but i found that i really enjoyed. tricking tikka masala is one of the most popular dishes in britain today. many even consider it their new national
11:50 pm
dish prefer it to the famous fish and chips. chicken tikka masala is a popular dish with indian roots but ordering the dish in a restaurant in india would be met with bafflement the meal was invented in britain . after world war two indians and bangladeshis opened restaurants in britain serving up specialties from their home countries. i think what makes chicken tikka masala so british is that it's an adaptation of a food culture that has been brought to us by immigrants what we've always done in
11:51 pm
the in britain is we've adapted things that have arrived in our country from other cultures and we've made them into law so this dish was created in an indian restaurant by indian share who took british citizenship and became british citizens and their to their own third culture for the tastes of the native british people. her restaurant news is located in the east. berlin district of plans lower back. it's a laid back area with many young families the restaurants cozy flair is perfectly suited to this district. carolyn was born in the english city of bristol in one nine hundred seventy eight she grew up with two older sisters and a younger brother. as a child she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian later she studied philosophy a cambridge university. then she worked as an event manager in london and now she's running a restaurant in berlin. i sometimes feel like i'm
11:52 pm
a bit of an ambassador for british food i can't tell you how many people post pulled a face when they told when they walk in the british and you can see that they're expecting something to result so i hope very much that i feel it's a new perception of british food and modern british culture. carol and to be as served up international british cuisine and their supper club lives on two once a month food lovers gather in the restaurant for this unique culture in our tradition. today i prepared to compete for you want to britain's new national basis i hope you enjoy you. fashion is cyclical even for socks socks but your bunch up and combined with high heeled shoes are back in fashion it's a throwback to the style of the nineteen eighties well as you can see i'm not

11:54 pm
purchased on the net or in stores you can even get your tennis socks for a measly ninety euro's for a single pair that is. so maybe a more down to earth sock will have to do what explains this tennis sock hype anyway. he tends to slow so i'm going to i think his socks are an easy way of getting attention on via mainstream crowd prefers wearing the lame socks with dark side was drunk or stoned is so tender socks are a good way to make a statement with a look at me i'm different statements that's been done to us meanwhile tennis socks are just as popular with the ladies influencer chiara fair on you and pop star katy perry spork them. and social media starlets car adele or even combines them with high heels maybe that makes the shoes more comfortable either way tennis socks are back in style. all right we'll see how long that last before we go we want to
