he states in the pantheon of the great tenets certainly he's one for the ages. of. ten or for the. stars december twenty second g.w. . however i want to welcome to another exciting edition of euro max i'm your host meghan lee here's a look at what we've put together for you today. race against time how to whip up a christmas meal in minutes. norwegian would pay a visit to the town lot all so you. can use merry

christmas eve on white paper decorations for the festive season. but we start off the show with a blast from the past can you say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious that's right mary poppins the world's most famous nanny is returning to cinemas just in time for christmas the story picks up about twenty years after the first part ended during the great depression in london this is not a remake of the original story but instead a sequel based on several books that were never filmed well several hollywood stars are part of the cast so this is sure to be a hit for the holidays. fans had to wait fifty four long years now at last the magical mary poppins returns to the silver screen the star studded motion picture had its european premiere in london on wednesday. she has

a lot of relevance for people around the world when things feel rather fragile i think that she's a great unifier and we love the first film like so many people general it was something that was definitely a labor of love this. mary poppins returns picks up on the story from the one nine hundred sixty four original a long break between a film and its sequel. this time around emily blunt plays the extraordinary nanny. my goodness and bill have you done to please you can grow god not that much so and john is just as fit the fourteen are in names because she's mary poppins cope's sheen just a lapse off the page at me she is so sick and bassy and funny and they and rude and almost sickness. so delightful to play. like

the original the sequel is loosely based on the mary poppins novels by australian born writer pamela linden travers in the midst of the great depression mary drops in on jane and michael banks now fully grown and living in the house on london's cherry tree lane michael now has children of his own. troops who now he's michael b. are still not a caught fish. after michael's wife dies his family is in danger of losing their home. and her mary poppins to build a house on cherry tree lane with confidence and joy again. best thing about the character of mary poppins is that she she does this but without sort of doing it obviously you know she denies having any part of any of the adventures but

she has a master plan that takes us through the whole journey. again mary poppins spirits people off to magical places where anything seems possible. director rob marshall largely dispensed with computer generated effects some of the animations were drawn by hand the old fashioned way as a tribute to the original of one thousand nine hundred sixty four which combined cartoon drawings and mechanical effects. this was a completely you know practically done. big hollywood movie is such a throwback to those old movies where you don't have a lot of c.g.i. i think we barely have any green screen other than the animation sequence. and people are on why is we are floating around on why is. joining emily blunt are oscar winning actors meryl streep and collin firth. dick van dyke originally played

mary poppins best friend burt now age ninety three he's returning as well in a new role. and marries found a new friend in the person of jack the lamplighter marriage so you know lovely is what. you really think so nice to see you jeff good to see you too mary poppins there is something magical about you know bringing light to london and i think jack does that as well i mean he sort of he he gets to go on these incredible adventures with mary poppins and the children he brings light to to the world the one. as mary poppins emily blunt has some quite impressive shoes to fill. apparently she's a hit with both animated and real audiences she's already nominated for a golden globe as best actress mary poppins will be returning to cinemas around the world starting december nineteenth.

where you turn now to our special series this week where top chef robin peat cooks up yummy christmas dishes in just under five minutes today he's going to prepare spice more wine with a traditional snack involving goose fat now if he goes too fast you can always see his videos again on our website. it is time i have a fast and delicious tip for a christmas treat for your family and friends when you have no time well be making mulled wine not the normal kind but white using a white wine instead of red. wine then there's white rum. make enough in case some unexpected guests drop in. mulled wine needs or enjoy the

oranges have to be blanched first to remove some of the bitterness then we toss in the whole oranges with the peel that adds a lot of flavor. then some christmas spices we have some cloves and some cinnamon. and since we don't have much time to bring everything to a boil and. turn on the home for maybe add a little honey you can make it a little sweeter but not too much and that's the first step. you can buy bread anywhere goose fat should be hard to find it's readily available you don't have to start making it yourself but you can refine it a bit. add a spoonful of dijon mustard. stir it up as well as you can hire him. you have to have the fat at room temperature right out of the refrigerator it's hard as batter comments muffins as myself. up to the top soup.

don't have to do a lot with the fat you know important is very good bread and i don't have time to make my own but there are lots of good bakeries you find out where you can buy the bread you really like. it doesn't have to be a special kind of bread like this. this is a coarse rye bread with vegetables and i think it's really cool. you can't do much wrong here really come on if you fight because this is the mulled wine let it steep a while. now for the fat spread it around a little on the bread with the mustard you can make it nice and thick and you see it sliding around a little so you should look kind of nice. it's not once a very important for mulled wine is a little rock can't leave it dissolves gradually along with the normal sugar.

we open sandwiches actually christmassy keep it simple and. now i'll chop some hazel nuts to sprinkle on top and now my little apple. i'll leave out the dill pickle on purpose another couple of apple slices on top. of. me as you see i don't have much time. it was probably intended that way so that when you do this at home you can take your time. now put some cress on top it doesn't matter where it's from or leave it out and you could chop some onions and you can add a couple because because that's really a classic. it's now a great a little not magic. and that cinnamon on top of our open sandwich. that'll give a truly christmassy taste so you might not believe it but it's true finally the almonds also chopped just a little toasting them all really develop their flavor now the whole thing on top

of. the first one is done. this is really delicious. so if that's so i don't know how much time i have but enough time to wash my hands . now the mulled wine. the what's important with mulled wine as with any dish is to be flexible i'm putting in some orange and spices because that's christmassy but some don't like certain things and others do so you should always experiment with your cooking. but i think that simply what makes a good chef. is food and for that matter what crucial. so now of course finally it is time to bore the mulled wine into the glass sure i hope i made enough. of you to have a slight note of aniseed and a little cinnamon. to be quite honest i'm glad i got done again before the time is up but once more i'll say you should take your time and now especially at christmas

you should spend some time with your loved ones with your family just enjoy it and know i'd like to finish by wishing you all a very merry christmas sanborn have a tea party it. looks good all right next up a trip and today we are headed to norway up in the far northern reaches of europe the capital city there is oslo and another good five hours further north you'll find the former mining town a rural us it was designated a you know asco world heritage site in one nine hundred eighty four it's characteristic wooden buildings ross was a prosperous mining town first centuries it's also been featured in the children's t.v. series pippi longstocking so time now to have a closer look around. you
