keep the goose from drying out while in the oven, it has to be repeatedly base it in stock. this dish is in season, mainly in december to kansas and binda always give a goose reaches full size in winter in the potatoes are harvested and red cabbages a winter bench. simple. so these 3 things go together wonderfully. during this season, i just wonder about this of the roast goose is best when served as soon as it comes out of the of the in poland. it's all about bureau keys. there an unofficial symbol of polish cuisine. the serena irena restaurant in warsaw specializes in the stuff dumpling to the center here at the restaurant. we serve 15 different kinds of people, these goals. we have put all these in wild garlic in the cottage stuff and put in

the cheese and not got the info just hi me. if they have a special flavor. we also have sweet pillowcase with poppy seeds raisins and not asking you at a time you there's a honey just right for the holiday season. our payroll gaze with mushrooms and sauerkraut. the dough is made of flour, eggs, oil and water. to achieve a more intense flavor, some of the dr. mushrooms are ground to a fine powder to mushrooms, sour, crowed, and mushroom powder are briefly roasted and mix well now they produce can be pinched together by hand and boiling water. no more than 3 or 4 minutes, so they don't get soggy. you don't get the keys or something. you don't forget, you know the ship over the phone lines, but they simply make people happy. same. are you fish? my? yeah my, there's the bible that we move on to sweden where

a juicy christmas time is an essential part of the christmas buffet called the us board. the christmas table is the most important thing for the swedish christmas. we herring's we solomon, and of course we use cream get the christmas time. included in the ross with the pickles him are onions, studded with clothes, bailey and white pepper. depending on the size, it can take about an hour and a half to back to a temperature inside the home of $72.00 degrees celsius. the big term has to cool for an hour or 2 before it can be coated with a mixture of sweet and so a mustard and sugar. but 1st, the outermost layers of fat has to be cut away from him. i always do some bread crumbs before the coating because otherwise it wants the traditionally, the you wink carved in thin slices is the main event of every swedish christmas

buffet. a gloss of piping had good cheated spiced wine, goes best with it. the cold out, the swiss, warm up with a cheese fondue. traditionally, it served in a candle a pot. usually a ceramic one that's kept heated. the diners spear ryan wheat bread on lawn from 2 forks and done some in the melted cheese. you'll need choose from the lifeline corn starch, lemon, garlic, cherry, brandy and pepper for a classic cheese. going to 1st, it's a good idea to great the cheese. this recipe calls for various kinds. i know that it doesn't make one is from the in gardena valleys and all the cheese is on past dry into alpine chains from cal milk. the blend makes for the right fund 200. the pot is coated with garlic to give it some extra flavor. next, the cornstarch wipe,

wine and lemon juice, or mix together and poured onto the grated cheese. it's getting rid of it to the shots and now we add a little black pepper. and the final ingredient is to send to leaders of cherry brandy. the family i started the cheese found due over medium heat. it is not too hot too high. this consistencies and the uniform window save while a swiss cheese on the phone. we top it off with a dessert from britain christmas putting no holiday dinner is complete. without it you'll need flour, so it shows up x and then before and we have a fruits you're going to want. and then i'll hope traditionally just pointing brandy, both ineligible brandy, some spouts. and pedro jimenez,

which is the chevy. many families with up the christmas pudding, weeks in advance. so it will be well state the best uh, it's most often from june. so yeah, each pressing the family would get ones that would space clockwise. the christmas pudding is steve and then sunday, and brandy. so what kinds of dishes will you have for your holiday dinners? for christmas k, kind of tony has a long tradition in italy. it comes in different shapes and sizes, but did you know that some of the best part of tony in the country is made in a prison? behind these bars in the city of patio in northern italy, prisoners craft exquisite big treats. the bakers are hardened criminals with long

prison sentences. we aren't allowed to share their names or crimes because i've been in this prison for 14 years. so i'm paying for what i did back in 20082010 though i used to have some real issues or support. i mean those, i definitely made a big mistake, but i've changed and i just keep learning your story. for now, they're mostly baking penny. tony, a traditional italian christmas. kate, the punny tony from his teacher. he a jump to in the prison or some of the best in italy. even po francis has ordered some said, which is not his real name is proud of his success. he's worked here for 3 and a half years. we make great products and i'm honored to be able to do this work. it does me good to put myself into my work here,

murders, mafioso and others who have committed serious crimes are imprisoned here. only those with good conduct, but still facing long sentences can work is baker's. otherwise, it's not worth it to train them. the head, pastry chef counts the knives at the end of each day, just to be on the safe side. here they also learn to follow defined rules and schedules and to respect their superiors. you need to be humble, patient and ready to learn, or you won't make it far in here. and penny, tony does require patience. it takes 72 hours to make the sto, traditionally candied orange peels and raisins are added, but also chocolate ginger fix, and lavender. my favorite type is with, i'm a retina and new get. everyone has their favorite pen to tony, depending on their change. and i think we make 1400

a day their shift begins at 4 in the morning. it takes 3 days before the pony tony is done and it's typical paper wrapping. once they're out of the oven, said and his fellow bakers hang the cakes upside down. we turn them over fresh out of the oven, that helps them keep their round shape while cooling as well. for them of the inmates send their finished pony, tony all over the world, $100000.00 a year starting at 30 euros apiece. plus the chevy of giotto has even been hosting a cafe for a year. now, in the center of pod why the company is making a profit, almost everything here is from the prisons. pastry shop. many customers have no idea these fine trees were baked by criminals. really nice. are they really, are they good faith for this? so i know the cakes were made in prison that makes them all the better and

hopefully helps the people. and besides, they're excellent qualities. the inmate bakers do actually have regular employment contracts and they receive a proper salary. my way just don't just help me but also my family. they need the money. many of the prisoners send a pony tony home for christmas on days. when i get out and i can work as a pastry baker in the past the jetting. yeah. yeah, and i'm studying at a hotel management school so i can enter that profession later. and it's not just a dream force. i need very few of the former prison bakers end up returning to a life of crime. one has even opened his own pastry shop. straight from the street at bowie and t, u. d. w. failing for us,

discover one of the most vibrant cities in your experience was hot in boeing's clubbing st. explode the cities hidden gems, and learned to understand some peculiar german habits. pals create is a here for you to join us now at the w underscore. buildings fresh on take talks certainly seen in germany a christmas time town, which styles a note over the wells. they come from a small town called hans woods in eastern germany, but they have a long history. we went there to find out more, the distance of cuts play i just loved driving through the towns before christmas and seeing all the stars hanging like this down there. so i can give you this job. i put up the big paper star every layer and then place the little ones on the window around christmas time. is that stuff? and just i learned how to make these kinds of stars in school. and i think it's

a really big part of our identity size that we've had. the stars named after the small town hand, who in the very east of germany, saxony region are shipped all over the world as christmas decorations. around 700000 are created every year old by hand. it takes you on a bod, around one and a half hours to make one of her limited edition small stars. the this yearly, this is what the most difficult part. the folding decimal gets the folding that really counts. getting that perfect cone with a beautiful tip, the kind of thing you know and making the edges fit together exactly so that the star hasn't even shakes done flies maces. the stars originated in the moravian church of the brethren. one of the oldest protestant denominations in

christianity are from the office, and the oldest record of the stars being made in hand hooked schools, dates back to 1810. now think about what was seemingly as a part of teaching geometry to children. come up on this and, and when i, myself was a student that handled school and clinic said we also learned this an our math class now dish downs and bodies yet. so it wasn't to use of the star symbolizes jesus christ to i can be reached. he says it's actually our most important symbol. invite not just a hand, but really a sign of god's lives shining into the darkness and jesus christ. i'm coming to us . it's happened to him, sounds that big guy worked on the star myself out and we made it in our congregation with a large group of 40 people and cut out the individual points and glued them together. always be significant. there are a lot of wonderful memories associated with it. you know, when you have a 1925 business man peter hensley

could be filed of happens for the 25 pointed star and its current shape nearly a century later. the hand who'd factory greets more than $60000.00 star lovers each year for a behind the scenes look at how the stores come together or to crap their own doesn't need to complete. it's not that hard once you get the hang of it and get it . yeah, they're just wonderful to look at the house and you get a warm welcome when you come home, so to speak. spanish. i think that's the beauty of the stars, from the professionals. also custom make stars in different sizes for churches, christmas, markets, or shopping malls. these are made from plastics for longer durability, like this one, measuring almost 2 meters across wall. at least the young and this number slips. and while i used to work in the streets unmarked and dressed and for many years, and i could see the tower of the file and kills you church from our sales booth and

click and at the top of the church, there was of course, a large yellow a 19 type star hanging there, which i helped to make. boy, that always may be proud. now this does help. one off this one change starts off with or large or small. for many people around the world, the christmas spirit it arrives with a glow of a hand hoot star. snapped off at the very resilient animals, they can withstand sub 0 temperatures and to live at the top performance in the middle of ice and snow. only the past competes in the don't sled race nicole or the se, in the west of friends. in the french out, the region of civil house, the dogs lead race like holland otc. the system as well as mine, man is one of $66.00 musters taken part. she and her team of dogs are competing in

the open category. the race spans nearly 400 kilometers, split up into 10 stages. the . this is kevin, he is 4 years old. he goes as the leader, he's not the fastest leader, but he's a very safe leader. and there is a very difficult route that we're going. so it's nice to have a, a safe one. they get born always in my living room. this is a ride from the a little in norway, with 12 european sled dogs. she loves her dogs, and that even one her a special award as the musher who took the best care of her team during one of the stages. before racing off. the dogs always get a little something to eat, mostly protein. the real feast comes after the race.

the flood dog race is may still often be considered a male domain. but women one, several of the top places in the 1st stages of this year's edition. it's generally dominated by man, especially the in the big clauses on top level, there is still more man, but there's more women coming. i just have to trust your team and the team. so you have to trust me and then it doesn't matter which gender you are really. the critics often deem sled dog races to be harmful to the animals health. but at lego hondo. the say a 12 person veterinary team takes care of the dogs. the staff examines them before each stage and if there's the slightest health concern, the dogs are not allowed to race full way. yeah. oh, don't seem to, i don't see any signs of animal cruelty in this discipline. some pretty one for one

simple reason on this. did you just look at the dogs? they get all excited and play around together until they run really fast at the beginning. i'm give it there. all. that's good. i just want to run, you know, easy getting here in the winter sport resort. p z mom to the stage 6 is about to get started. the looped route spends 30 kilometers with the starting and finish line in the same place. cecil and her assistants are harnessing the excited dogs, the hand off they go. there is no holding back. these dogs that belong to the sea is considered an extremely tough race covering a difference in altitude of 12000 meters. the sport is also physically demanding for the measures. they have to stick to the

defined route and late into the curves with their dogs. when they go up hill, the most use for the dogs on going down hill, they break it takes. this will about 2 hours to finish this stage. coming in 6. i very happy. yeah, we're running good. so yeah, i have a problem that they're going a little bit slow in the field, but they just need training that because i have a very young team, so they need to learn type push a little bit harder in the appeals. they were born in very strong, downhill, and i had to really work to keep the slides where it's supposed to be. but yes, hello, good. no problem. so nothing. so it's nice to have a clean teen run, no problem. after the race, the dogs are fed and enjoy a good dose of penny. this is linda and ended up coming in for us overall. and if all goes to plan,

she and her hands will compete again next year the and i'd say for now from your max, they're all even more exciting stories from europe on our social media channels. we wish you very happy holidays by and see you next time the, the,
