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 school world heritage sites you don't have to travel very far here in berlin to experience international cuisine to day for ongoing series fifty kitchens one city where fifty featuring indian food from a british chef enjoy. ten years and i have to say i feel increasingly less connected to britain i feel much more strongly european than i do british but of course you never leave your country of birth behind it's always it's always there in there in the same way . 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
11:48 am
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. because that's what a supper club is when 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 as 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 nice to new people. the software club idea originally invented in cuba and 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

11:50 am
many even consider it their new national dish preferring instead 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 really or 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 am
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 their own third culture for the tastes of the native british people. her restaurant news is located in the east. berlin district of times 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 am
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 to. carolyn and to be of service international british cuisine and their supper club lives on to once a month food lovers gather in their restaurant for this unique color a tradition. today i've prepared to can take for you one of britain's new national dish is i hope you enjoy it you know. 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
