feature trial if you're 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 crisis. of india's capital look beyond. the banks of the look here needs a river aligned with restaurants and cafes. the cafe restaurant concentrates on regional speciality is from slovenia's northeast. among them is the traditional deep i need something a white cheese pastry familiar throughout the bowl comes. this version includes

cooking apples chef your sheets are close prefers the h. the red variety you have often the people we call it the whole apple with the peeling the certain trains the vitamins. contra cheese poppy seeds and finally ground walmart's all essential ingredients in the filling the basis is shawcross pastry and strudel that both can be bought in sheets ready made. the more pull of each cause of the cursor shape the poppyseed filling on to the pastry and strudel dough and spread it even up to 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 soccer in the next if the foundation has to dry then we have to use more. but also planning maslow now we spin melted butter over it. in the uk and then comes the next layer of short crossed and. got the stuff then it's time for the cottage cheese dressing. that has to be spread evenly as well with some cream sauce goes on top then comes

the next layer of pastry and already now it's time for they will not be filling with another sugar all sour cream sauces drizzled over that. and finally the great apple is spread on top of the next lap of pastry and. put the album on the freeways again drizzle mandation with the south korean songs and. then repeat all the layers of. alternating with poppy snakes get out of cheese woman and out that's. so the whole thing is topped off with a sour cream sauce. and now a korean i know that people need to go study up on that because. even if it's a fake it for an hour and a half of one hundred sixty two hundred ninety degree celsius. slovenian has a fruity juicy flavor and it's rich and after all my service a full meal the traditional desert from the crack more of your region in slovenia's

northeastern tip has spread throughout the republic and beyond. what i need now is the magic to bring out right here in the studio maybe harry potter get help what do you think that's where we're off to now the harry 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 wand 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 still high on demand. there's 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 renewed harry's frightening experience. it's pretty spectacular out of the spot in front of the chains pretty much the actual force the part of the setting i like to suite i feel like i made up artist it's really impressive i mean the scale of it is when you inside it's a little creepy but in a good way that way. 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 was 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. 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 sighing techniques all the same materials that i would use for filming as well yes such as you know the trees to be able get real molds of real trays and make it look as realistic as it would look in a world forest at. 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 commotion we get you know everyone from the biggest hard part of fans in the well it's 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 hogwarts express stands ready to depart on platform nine and three quarters. is that a love potion brewing the studio tour leads visitors down di a 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 had their disposal. 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 really stick to and i i feel that tiny. inside inside. the movie harry potter disclosed to my heart. now it's just embarrassing lesson. being here it's nearly the theme of all the films were part of my childhood terry i do. up with harry so the time was right to come here i just had to do it as well as the odds. 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
