he's been called a next generation leader when it comes to his collin airy creations. the 29 year old chef mores taco is making headlines and france with a cooking style that combines japanese french and african cuisine. in addition to his successful michelin star restaurant in paris, soco has now opened a 2nd establishment in central pay on the french riviera. were using his west african influence. he is changing the flavors of french cuisine. becky van is actually typically japanese, but top french chef maury, sacco is turning it into an international dish with influences from all over the world. he wants to bring new taste experiences to french cuisine. well, don't good job. we have something here that is part japanese part african was for example, of course with homeless. so with chick piece is it brings to mind the middle east. and i want to go on a culinary journey from one bye to another. we quickly go from asia to the middle

east to africa just that's what i'm trying to do here in sandro pay. the 29 year old is one of frances youngest stashefsky. he's already been invited to cook for french president a minor when my com. sacco runs the michelin start restaurant most okay in paris. and he has his own cooking show on french television parties. since june 2022 mari seco has been busy in santa will pay to the city on the french coat as it is known as a playground for the rich and famous here. the chef has opened his 2nd restaurant in cooperation with luxury brand levy tall guests can expect a combination of international flavors. murray sucka wants to open up classic french cuisine to something new, but it is in mike was in, is largely influenced by my background and my passion. i bring it all together to create something unique in french cuisine. and i guess let me pull these especially

include japanese and african influences which characterize the meals at his restaurants. maurice sucka grew up with his parents of molly and senegalese origin, near paris. in addition to his classical training as a chef, he was also influenced by the food he knew from his childhood. because did you live when i opened my restaurant in paris? i was looking for all these traditional recipes. i asked my mother, how do you do this? how do you do that? i learned a lot in the process. you know what i used to eat whatever she cooked, but not actually care about how she prepared it with is about if it had mark on my live it guess in sample pay clearly like what maurice arcos new cuisine has to offer them. this is the val, it's a perfect. it's a little bit of everything. so many different flavors to discovery. given the temperatures here. it's nice and cool. the who? yeah. it tastes excellent. very interesting. the food was incredible. the presentation was excellent. and it's

a really nice setting to just enjoy maurice echoes. success is validation for his concept. the club is this roster. the secret to my success i think is that i am so passionate about what i do. i think the guests noticed that i really try to do what i know and what i feel more and do it as honestly as possible. if i maintain the sincerity, nothing should go wrong. yeah. that i think, yeah. for the way better for maury, sacco, creating new dishes and flavor combinations is always an emotional process that comes from the heart. he's no fan of strict rules, but what result of the most important thing is to be free to have the freedom to play with different inspirations and ingredients that you find and want to use it to be able to compose freely to enjoy yourself and have bought it even more, i think that if you have joy in your work than the guests will notice and will enjoy the flu, you with the probably damages of, of his eccentric creations and willingness to experiment had

made maurice echo one of the most popular chefs in france. and he's now dreaming of also opening a restaurant in africa. looks amazing. all right, well the mountain village of caribbean in switzerland is one of many alpine towns that has seen its population to wind. there are many reasons for this. it's too remote. it's hard to reach, and there are simply no jobs available. what now there is hope for caribbean because a young family has moved in, and they are working to attract visitors with a restaurant and a hotel. but their accommodation operates with a very special concept in mind. ah, nesta is 2 and a half years old. and the 1st child in this small swiss mountain village of cody

bowen, about 50 years. his parents threw everything overboard and came here a year ago. does it have auto and jeremy gary are helping turn curry po into a hotel village? they run in aust area and rent out rooms and some of the old abandoned stone houses . the village in the to chino region once had 300 inhabitants, but now there are just 9 counting her nest. oh and his parents do it for too long. yeah. you have to unhook was it? we heard about this project by chance, and we saw it as an opportunity to do something together. math. at 1st we had a lot of doubts if that, but we wanted to give it a shot more, but i'm in de la now. it really seems to be working from the netherland. we hope it stays that way. okay, i laura said i haven't been in the hotel has a total of 10 rooms so far, but they call it an hour better go to food. so a hotel that spread out across the village. the alley ways are the hallways and

corridors of the hotel. the austria is the main building and reception area. deseret bottle is trained in the hospitality branch, was jeremy gary is a gourmet chef. and most of us soon if you could, i'd then we're passionate about our work, the hotel, the cuisine, the choice of ingredients and hospitality. good. yeah, it's a tough job and, but we really enjoy it in the future to much diversity. morgan, molten. if i and i think, but we can't handle everything on our own, we have employees and that live ins, things up here, west on kit every day. crypto is a listed site, so they were only allowed to make minimal changes when restoring it. the rooms are named after the people who once lived here the residents left the village because it was no longer possible to make a living here through forestry or farming. a foundation tasked with saving cory bo from decay came up with the village hotel concept and bought 10 old buildings.

jeremy gary refers to use local products to cook in the hotel, austria like polenta from the village mill cripple lies to the north of lake, missouri. and the surrounding nature attracts many hikers and sport enthusiasts. it's the 1st season for the new out better go to who so. but already on the weekend it's fully booked. it's seen wholly the artifacts. it's a good idea to create jobs in remote valleys. i grew up in a mountain village myself. i was thus finish it. it's very innovative and a way to get people back into these valleys, to enjoy the peace and quiet, and the landscape, the awakening of the long term view locals labs hope the project will bring their village back to line. also assisted. it's okay with

me. the hotel doesn't bother us because otherwise the village would die out over time. because the few of us left here aren't young anymore. down middle nest sto, attends a kindergarten in the valley below. it's a 15 minute drive away. desi rave, watch l. as glad he's gotten used to village ly semen involve a multiple keep caught in this tiny place, every one knows every one and, and as to likes it. he says there is valentino, drinking a coffee, mac jato upon food, and when we go up stairs, he yells by max by savannah, russia. he knows every one and that's great, yada. soon another 2 rooms are due to be added to the alberto desousa because the hotel is doing so well, at least in summer. they want to stay open all year round. the french swiss couple aren't afraid of getting low lee in winter in invent physically in the winter of the austria will be more important. not so much the hotel and the people we need

time, but we're just getting started. but we're pretty competent about deseret blah til and her family had comfortable lives down in the valley before moving up to this remote mountain village. but they haven't regretted their decision for even one minute. anyone who wants to become a german citizen and receive a german passport must fulfill a series of requirements. and one of them is a citizenship test. and that is considered to be so difficult that even some germans have a hard time passing it well. with this in mind, my british colleague rachel stewart, sent out to create her own version of a citizenship test, and it certainly reveals some interesting things about germans and their way of life. ah,

anything. recall, welcome to your citizenship test. please take a seat. how do you wish them luck in german again? ah, yes, rachel rachel, i push you the solemn city dollars. question one. which values could you live by as a german? thou shalt grumble. thou shalt be brutally honest. thou shall care your rooms regularly. question to you're going to spend a typical german weekend 1st up breakfast, which of the following items do not belong on the table? g sliced meat, toast, bread. well, it's frowned upon. much better to have them fresh bread rolls, but up jam, coffee, measly yoga baked beans, egg. tea with milk. i don't know what they're missing. what should you

intricate hand woven carpets have long been on the wayne since machine manufacturing has replaced traditional weavers. however, there is one place in a small town in bulgaria that proudly sil makes persian style rugs by hand. following a centuries old technique, we went there to watch the process takes shape, ah, craftsmanship, natural dyes, mathematics, persian style carpets are the pride and joy of this bulgarian nino pod pool of his work has been in demand around the world for over 2 decades for its certificate physical dinner, we have gained a lot of experience over the years with dignity though, at the peak of our success in itself, i even met with the royal family in england. the cross to summer. prince charles

is among the admirers of nino pud pools carpets. the manufacture and bulgaria can meet the exacting standards set by the royals. he can produce exceptionally large, extravagant designs that are also true to the originals. these carpets in britain's royal palaces look exactly like their historical counterparts from centuries past. due me than a child, according to prince charles, we're the last people in the world who can reproduce things that belong to the historical and cultural heritage of europe rhona this one overall. these are the people preserving that cultural heritage, the weavers, their knowledge and skill passed down from generation to generation only. here is a priceless asset in your samples live at the curb. we are the last weavers of these carpets in europe. i think we should keep this tradition alive because it is something of great value sim. among the special qualities of these new carpets,

faithful to historical originals, are the vibrant colors. these called rooms are used to infuse the natural pigments into the wall. it takes mathematical precision to achieve just the right color tones. that is nino power pool of responsibility. his immense knowledge, the secrets of the formulas are preserved and a hand written note book. he asked my opinion, i have to make sure that the colors of the carpet are exactly what the customer ordered. but that's why i work with 6500 pigments which are then used to create the many colors for new searches during. it's a good me no more little crowd. ah, the homeless carpet manufacture is located about 150 kilometers from the bulgarian capital. sophia, in the little village of co, stunned of time seems to have stood still here. the clock seemed to take more

slowly than in the big city. the carpet weavers also come from costano. val, depending on how big a carpet is and how many colors are needed. it can take up to 10 months to create one carpet. another secret of persian style carpets are there ingenious knots? the thread forms the pattern on both sides. persian carpets got their name from the region where this method of weaving originated persia in what is now iran. a grid system is used to divide the pattern into small squares. precision is key. quality checks are made for every few centimeters. single mistakes can destroy a whole carpet and put the family business in jeopardy. the weaver is bare a lot of responsibility. so the big new in an ordinary weaver working here

wouldn't be able to handle this many colors. there are up to $240.00 colors in a single carpet and vista status itself. it is this magnificent variety that distinguishes handmade person style carpets, industrially produced goods have only a few colors. in cos, thunderbolt, however, each piece gets its own pattern and color combination and thus its own price. a carpet can cost several tens of thousands of euros for each new pattern. the weavers have to have extra training with you have to be patient, you have to be attentive. you have to focus on the carpet all the time. persian carpets became popular in europe in the early 16th century. back then, they decorated european palaces with animal tree and flower motifs. they

have become an integral part of european culture, also developing their own motifs. here in cust under vall, this culture and tradition is being kept alive. as you know, walking is one of the best forms of exercise and it's become trendy to count how many steps you've taken. well d, w reporter, axle primavera. he took counting steps to another level when he decided to climb up over $4000.00 wooden steps in norway. $4444.00 to be exact and now was just one way. or we went along to see if he really made it to the top. this is the news. it's around 6

o'clock in the morning. i want to fairy a very foss, fairy. and i'm on my way to my next adventure. it's all about only $4444.00. it's the allegedly highest wooden staircase in the world. this slowly stance on one of norway's many fjords and to find out of europe. the ferry departs from star vonda. it's the only way to reach the wooden staircase. ah, young lateness is my guy today. she's been showing hackers around the region for years. the staircase begins at the bottom near the big white building, the old hydro electric turned it offense to a mountain over 700 meters high action. now you listen to me and you do in my temple, because then you're going to feel it's going to be a great trip ticket though, like this. ah,

the staircase was built along with a raised and pipes for the hydro electric plant in the early 19 hundreds can take so far as the steps they are really narrow. so you have to be really careful with each single step. and for me it's quite hard to keep the pe so being so slow, but i think yan is probably really right, is taking it slow is the right choice if you really want to make it a bare oh, he's i, are you kidding me? i it started. oh yes, this is going to be okay. it easy?

ah. they say that it has been toughest. pardon me? sometimes the hydro electric plant workers had to climb these stairs every day. okay. this is exhausting and what i learned looking down is not a good idea at all. but something special is also that, that, that the steps, they all not the same height so you don't get used to okay. steps have that. no, you have to really be cautious with every step your tech has to happen. yes. hope if you want her that data and hands.
