a range of lifestyle news from around europe including some wonderful recipes for you to try if you are looking for a sweet treat over the weekend that we have a recipe coming up now that you might find hard to resist it's a traditional strudel from slovenia and it's probably the most decadent strudel i've ever seen but it is very often enjoyed as one of the country's national debt. of ennius capital look beyond. the banks of the look again it's a river aligned with restaurants and cafes. a cafe restaurant concentrates on regional speciality is from slovenia's northeast . among them is the traditional deep i need some white cheese pastry familiar

throughout the balkans. there's a version includes cooking apples chef your sheets are closed prefers the h. the red variety you have often the people we create the whole apple with the peeling the curtain tains the vitamins. concert cheese poppy seeds and finally gram will not stop for essential ingredients in the filling the basis is shawcross pastry and strudel that both can be bought in sheets ready made. dumbell of each cause of the first to shake the happy sad feeling onto the pastry and struggled out and spread it even muck with it but only on half of it as we have to repeat this step then we will on our cream sauce it's made of sa cream an x. of the foundation is to dry and then we have to use more. but as the planning maslow now we spoon melted butter evarist. in the car now comes the next layer of shawcross and. got this then it's time for the cottage cheese dressing. that has to be spread evenly as well because some cream sauce grows on top bankers

the next layer of pastry and already know it's time for the end almost filling with another sugar more sour cream sauces drizzled over that. and finally the great apple is spread on top of the next pastry and. with the i'll book on that once again drizzle foundation with the sun cream sauce and butter mole of both and then repeat all the layers in the same order and the veto alternating with poppy saying that out of cheese will not add outlets. so the whole thing is topped off with a sour cream sauce. and now. of course in the know that he believes it goes because. even if it's a fake it for an hour and a half the one hundred sixty two hundred eighty degree celsius. slovenian has a fruity juicy flavor and it's rich and after all my service

a full meal the traditional dessert from the pragmatic you know region in slovenia's northeastern tip has spread throughout the republic and beyond. what i need now is the magic to bring that right here in the studio maybe harry potter get help what do you think that's where we're off to now the hari potter experience is base just outside of london and allows visitors to immerse themselves in the story you can walk around whole walks creep through the forbidden forest if you dare and even try out a magic want one of other studios produced eight harry potter films in toto and although the last one was eight years ago now tickets for the experience are still high on demand. if. there is some hocus pocus going on at hogwarts muggles are writing broomsticks.

even non-magical beings can enter the world of the harry potter films on the making of harry potter tour at warner brothers studios near london. here you can encounter the spiders from harry potter and the chamber of secrets and in the forbidden forest exhibit visitors remove harry's frightening experience. it's pretty spectacular out of the spot on the big chains pretty much the actual forest and part of the setting i like is we took the life i mean our eyes it's really impressive i mean the scale of it is bad when you inside i said little creepy but in a good way that. once the films were completed the forbidden forest was put in storage but now visitors can experience the set for themselves with its huge trees

and electronically controlled animals they can even control the weather conditions just like the filmmakers didn't. tour guides explain how the forest was recreated in the studio and how the special effects work. that we got the challenge was to be able to create a real life forest something that looks photo realistic in the confines of us sound studio i guess so we had all the original crew from the set so we had a cradle production manager a production designer was a pole his own construction manager and i was up to them to be able to get all the same techniques all the same materials that i would use for filming as well yes such as you know the trays to be able to get real molds of real trays and make it look as realistic as it would look in a world far step. visitors get to discover hogwarts just the way harry potter did when he first arrived at the school and. doors to the great hall opened. as many as five thousand people come to the warner brothers studios for the harry potter experience each day. so we get absolutely

every kind of is the magic we get you know everyone from the biggest hard part of fans in the wilds so you know maybe more casual hard part of fans who i guess big fans of cinema and big fans of films and they want to know i guess how stuff was created and all the behind the scenes secrets so it's really interesting to talk to a very big variety of people as to kind of what they are interested in i guess to do with films. the hunger to express stands ready to depart on platform nine and three quarters. is there a love potion brewing the studio tour leads visitors down dian gun alley the wizarding shopping street. all the way to number four privet drive where harry lived with the durst lease the tour makers had a wealth of materials that are disposable. to every set every prop ever costing you say is from hard part of the main reason being that as the films went along we

put a lot of stuff in archives just in case we would need it later so i guess one of us felt that we'd be able to make a really cool exhibit from these facts i guess. but not everything is just for show visitors are allowed to touch things and try stuff out to one of the highlights is getting a lesson in how to wave a magic wand. it's an inch in to experience and not just for kids. it's so i don't show cane and released it too and i i feel that i. incite you cited the movie harry potter it is close to my heart. now it's embarrassing let's go to the big here it's nearly the theme of all the films were part of my childhood. up with harry so the time was right to come here and i just had to do it. must have. been years after the films were made fans are

still thrilled to get a look behind the scenes and although it is still strictly off limits to hogwarts students fans can take a walk through the forbidden forest if they dare. and the whole go as experience and as an event to theme parks this week but the competition is still running for another two weeks yes you can send us a picture of yourself or your favorite emmys park in your name will be entered into a prize draw to win how your imax what she can see all of the details on the link to submit your paycheck is on our website any issues you may have had any of this week napping kid ups or do you send them and best of luck to you all and i'll see you next time on your macs now though from all of the team here in the studio by. next time on zero max the light show. at the greek national drink is mainly to.
