conditions from his travels. he finds his remarkable niche in some of the remotest places on the planet. easer in the nevada desert at new moon. red sea stacks of the coast of new zealand the colorado river in the grand canyon and this view taken from a. in iceland. again the least risky thing in that you have to remember that this place you know is moving at a rate of one meter per day so once you're inside you're surrounded by these constant tracking and crunching sounds. in commercial abortion and it's an incredibly eerie but at the same time magical environment. has combines his in-depth knowledge of how the earth evolved with the first nation for its being. willing to write still at the ranch. i had an idea of photographing dr she survey

the trendy berlin restaurant called a michelle bagger now the original b.l.t. comes from the west but michelle burger irish chef makes a different version of it. i think people are warmer and. strangers are kind of friendly through each other which. berliners neither the called sometimes it's it was hard to use the when i first moved there but. it's ok now it. makes hal's from limerick ireland he grew up dreaming of becoming a football player at a holiday job in a restaurant as a schoolboy if found his true calling and trained as a chef. he moved to berlin in twenty fourteen and was recruited that same year i shifted cuisine at the restaurant michele bagga in her head friedrich sign neighborhood. bread here is baked in house by the chef himself based on

a german recipe. bodies are a shrewd stew come through his specially on the fish front. once he's country up a new calendar a creation he resents it to his kitchen crew. he places great value on good working relations and he knows his suppliers personally. i think it's important for a lot of people. in modern times that they want to know where the food is coming from an opel in a city that. demands our gannett food and has to be built for some people especially in this neighborhood. the michelle bag around strong belongs to the hotel of the same name that opened in two thousand and nine is a former industrial building that in the one nine hundred forty s. housed repair shops from machines. it's now a restaurant with seating for eighty people. in the morning serving bread first to

seafood is served in every restaurant. traditional irish cuisine tends to be a hearty meat and potatoes affair not dissimilar to german food. thanks gives it a modern twist. macro also features regularly in the restaurants on trays. as the chef in some sense if you go fishing and don't catch a micro then you've had a bad day. and the best time to catch magro is apparently between may and september. yeah i think everybody out and knows what mackerel is and every household with a test from chips of course and a b.l.t. is it's
