now he's a jazz musician who has been playing on ice instruments for some twenty years and is about to embark on a world tour we caught up with him in munich. it's like music from a dream or a. cherry easten set plays instruments crafted from ice they're almost too cold for his lips but produce a curiously warm sound kind of warm and gentler than some low frequent bass sound studies amazing. sushi inspiration to go into our universe or other sounds. or three are used to. cheery easten safe hails from norway. the well known jazz musician and composer also plays more conventional music but he

loves to experiment. if his ice instruments begin to melt his tour would in. the musician will only play on natural ice no artificial substitute will do he says. it has no sustain no songs it's just. not like this this is going to take some. he says instruments using a knife and new instruments are exclusively sourced from scandinavian lakes during the deepest of winter even though i go through the same there is no guarantee of a good sound the best sound i ever had was from north of sweden two thousand and three that's a really good year on the very interested in buying that. it takes about an hour to tunisian every frozen instrument and after each song the instruments go straight back into the freezer. he discovered his passion for music in one nine hundred

only the most outstanding testimonies of human in natural history can carry the title you know esko world heritage site one thousand and seventy three sites worldwide are protected under this designation in forty two of them are in germany while to visit them all would take quite a while but thanks to this new way the coffee book you don't have to go visit them so let's take a look inside. germany currently has forty two sites on unesco's world heritage list they include the pilgrimage church of venus in stein garden of area. yasmin national park under reagan with its chalk cliffs in beech forests. cologne cathedral. and the caves in ice age art in this way be enjoyed some of the world's oldest figurative art a statuette of a woman. and a lion man figurine were found here near there some forty thousand years old

stretched on from this is simply the beginning of our culture yes. they're the first known artworks to have been produced in europe. and it is one of the main researchers whose members code says he's always searching elsewhere to find something older one of them already never finds anything so maybe at some point you just have to accept the fact that they're the old little sister. korean hina visited all of germany's world heritage sites and wrote the texts for the coffee table book which weighs in at five kilos. based photographer going to a bio took the pictures the two men spent three years travelling around germany for the project. i can assure you that tired of taking photos of nice weather in bloom skies a cloudy day can also be very interesting and the central thought inside the prehistoric

of entire towns like bamberg is also inscribed on unesco's list but there's one thing all these sites have in common the world would be 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 free featuring indian food from a british chef enjoy. ten years and i have to say i feel increasingly less connected. and feel much more strongly european than i do british but of course you know country behind it's always it's always very very nice i was. carlin 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 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. that's what a supper club is when you cook for people whom you don't know in your home and typically they 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 as i think a lot of people do start up a club says 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 new people. the supper club idea originally

invented in cuba and in our 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 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 a very good cook but i did not learn from her when i was a child. i was more interested in him 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 the thai really enjoyed. tricking tikka masala is one of the most popular dishes in

britain today. many even consider it their new national 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 in bangladesh used open restaurants in britain serving up specialties from their home countries.

i think what makes chicken tikka masala so pretty is that it's an adaptation of a food culture that has been brought to us by immigrants what we've always done in the in britain is we've adapted things that have arrived in our country from other cultures and we've made them into our so this dish was created in an indian restaurant by indian chair who took british citizenship and became to his citizens and their to their own third culture for the tastes of the native british people. restaurant music is located in the east. berlin district of plains 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 at 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 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 all from the story itself so i hope very much that i feel it's a new perception of british food and modern british culture to. carolyn and to be as served up in international british cuisine and their supper club lives on to once a month for food lovers gather in their restaurant for this unique color a tradition. today i prepared to can take for you one of britain's new national dish is i hope you enjoy you know you. fashion

is cyclical even for socks socks that you 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 exactly sure if it's my cup of tea but you know what we ladies try to just about anything. white sox are back to the roar of gents and this is how their sport in this day and age there combined with a casual. here. longer versions are back to pop star justin bieber done such a pair at a gig. musician t.v. host russell brand seems to like the new look as well jenna socks have definitely made a comeback. would you wear them home why no it's not my style isn't so comfortable i always wear tennis so. they made me think of squares i can't imagine wearing them. if i can combine them with. the time i

love them and that style they're so retro and such a modern look when you're older. these retro socks can be purchased on the net or in stores you can even get 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. so i'm going to i think tennis socks are an easy way of getting attention on via mainstream crowd prefers wearing the latest socks with dark side. 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 fed on you and pop star katy perry support them. and social media starlet car adele or even combines them with

high heels maybe that makes the shoes more comfortable you know a tennis socks are back in style. all right with the how long that lasts before we go we want to announce the winner of this week's quiz now in the spirit of carnival in venice we wanted to know what your favorite carnival costume is and thank you to all of you who sent in photos but there can be only one winner and that is jim oral pays off from caracas in venezuela so congratulations jim you have won yourself a euro max watch we will get that off to you right away and with that we are out of time but join us again tomorrow for our highlights edition and the best picks of the week thanks for tuning in. the next time on your own max the highlights of the week our photographer own a coal mine in illuminates holy places. ours was
