michelin star chef served their creations high above the ground for dinner in the sky and it's like this one. it's amazing it's the best there it is. in a beautiful experience. but it takes more than the average preparation time before guests can sit down to their dinner in the sky experience. three hours earlier. the kitchen personnel are putting the meal together. everything has to be perfect the pressure is on but. he's been staging this epicurean experience ten years now thirteen years ago i didn't find anyone to. go for me that's a good idea everybody let's be crazy. so that

2:35 am
a few i think we need to do because it's a very exclusive affair to obtain one of the coveted places at the table guest must book six weeks in advance and pay around two hundred eighty five euros and is it worth it. to get there if they're here and it's really nice i'm going to ask them is amazing i love the city and spirit so. delicious and amazing view. and it doesn't get more cruising than this. now to an instagram star who is gonna get a huge number of followers documenting food and foot web todd spiegel is a graphic designer and pastry enthusiastic living in france on his instagram page he up fully combines his two favorite things the most creative pastries in paris with fantastic footwear he has

a part of your daily life here originally from israel town used to be a graphic design a bit retrained as a pastry chef when he first came to paris a couple of years ago he was fascinated by the colors textures and geometric patterns of the design today he's looking for a pink pastry. and this muck around is filled with rose petal cream leaching and fresh raspberries fish. towel usually takes these photos right outside shops he tries to get in neutral background so the entire focus is on the pastry. uploads the photo to his instagram account deserted in paris i think the idea for dessert paris started by accident when i was exploring the world but this one paris and i really wanted to remember each. try so i took a photo and just one day i discovered that the cake that i bought was
2:38 am
a natural i shoes i tried to take a photo people really liked it and from there on it it's all history. almost every day. it's a new shoe pastry. sometimes it looks like a snapshot it looks like something very easy but actually there's a lot of work behind photos creating the photos in visiting the chefs and visiting places but i always make sure that there is like a variety of places of colors of creation so each day will be different it will give you a totally different aspect an experience of ours. no easy task especially as he needs new shoes he now has over two hundred pairs and he's constantly buying more each pair needs to be especially colorful he's a regular at this paris boutique and they know exactly what he's looking for.
2:39 am
my love for shoes started way before where i was living in tel aviv. as a graphic designer i always had this appeal for very graphic uncalled for shoes so i was collecting them and when i came to paris i discovered there's like more colors in worse shape so it's just group with dessert in paris his latest purchase is immediately turned into a photo. you know knows lots of pastry chefs in paris who provide him with cakes blanche is one of them a child used to bake his own pastries but now he focuses solely on creating photos for instagram that's where our first saw his work. for the so that you guys smart you know. we were thinking he is doing something new long because he's not only thinking peach of cake and get the idea to. take with the scent a lot through it and i said yeah like you know his first mango pastry soon
2:40 am
appears on towns instagram account matched with yet another new terror shoes. recently published his own patisseries book featuring the best of the seven hundred plus fun times. i think the cakes there are always more graphic or more different would get more attention. for example. i had to. buy the phone and that one went like crazy or the rubik's cube bites illegally so it's always like you for a shift create something that's a little different and something that people are not used to see if you go through the roof but they think like a usually people are so happy to see creations from paris so i can say that most picture are considered successful. pastries and shoes clearly a winning combination.
2:41 am

mr brown star chef often adds an oriental touch to the dishes she creates. a fascination with our culture and cuisine began when she was a child which was not so long ago given that she's now just twenty. m. in him well if we've not always gone to the orient on holiday perhaps i wouldn't be so interested in all these countries perhaps i would have trained to be a chef who knows that man is what i saw there is that grandmothers and mothers were dried chillies on the roofs of their houses and grind them and invest a lot of love that's what we do in our kitchen we cook with love otherwise we could not survive and that's what sensitised treaties and a few. car work that the restaurant in the fifteenth century list will cost the west of cologne she became a chef almost by chance. yes but i used

to go with my grandparents to nice hotels and i really liked it there so i did an internship at one i wasn't so keen on waiting tables and the girls were often catty but the kitchen was really cool i could try my hand it everything they liked me i'd only been interested in food and whenever they sent me into the cold room i always came back with the right stuff it was fun that was my. last year out of the blue she was appointed head chef at liz felt she was recommended by her predecessor within her first year there she cooked away. to mission on florrie yet as is done with the first star was a huge surprise my biggest wish had come true since the day i started training i had been dreaming of that and working toward it always pushing myself has come out when i heard the news it was like a huge weight off my shoulders. i was teaching this for the first time in my life i couldn't say a word to him before people asked me how i felt not
2:44 am
a word about it and. she's created a friendly atmosphere in the kitchen. so it's like ok you got your ph but i want to live here but. it's common knowledge i'm often chaffed on a lot depends on the head chef it's always called here of course i can also occasionally get man but rarely were more friends than colleagues but if i do have to be tough it is hard harder than if i had a team of thirty we're not everybody just does his or her thing is for you doesn't . do your comp is i'm fictious and relishes a challenge one of her again just to get younger people to appreciate really fine food she works long hours and has a little free time. i'm expected to go to the hard work is the daily job at midday like i plug you can switch off and think about things but afterwards you feel free and refresh. at the rate you'll be

2:49 am
that so many people different kind of people from different kind of layers of society enjoy your work so they're. just created on the computer acting talent has also called for. many of their videos come up in use motion capture a technique that captures human movements and portrays them three dimensionally on the computer. then place the figures in the virtual scenes and process them. the special thing about the cocktail factory project is a fact that it's projected onto a hand-made three d. landscape. i mean we're really we love to experiment with every new project we're doing and i learn something new and i find a new technique and at the end of the day tell a story in a in a new way. three d. video and come on there highlights not improved it's
