salary stocks, and finally chop ginger. then we read the goose with salt and pepper inside and out . add the stuffing and put it in the oven to bake for at least 3 hours. in the meantime, we chopped the red cabbage called blau code in southern germany and mix it with apples. we great the potatoes for the dumplings. this type of dumpling is typical of northern bavaria. only a quarter of the mixture is made of boiled potatoes. the rest of the potatoes are stirred in wrong, then it's rolled into dumplings and boiled in salted water to keep the goods from drying out while in the oven, it has to be repeatedly base it in stock. this dish is in season, mainly in december. guns isn't binda always get with goose reaches full size in winter. the potatoes are harvested, and red cabbages a winter bench simpleton loosely. so these 3 things go together wonderfully during this season. i just wonder about this. 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 that it got the high me if they have a special flavor. my. we also have sweet pillowcase with poppy seeds raisins and knocking at a time. you. there's a time just right for the holiday season are parole 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 crowd,

and mushroom powder are briefly roasted and mixed. well, now they corrode. these can be pinched together by hand and boiling water. no more than 3 or 4 minutes, so they don't get soggy. the, you don't get the pillowcase or something you don't forget. you have a ship, a rest of the stuff on lunch, but they simply make people happy. same, or you specialist. you have a sort of an eyeball. now 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 the unifying, get the christmas time included in the ross with the pickles him are funny, and studied with close bailey's and white pepper. depending on the size, it can take about an hour and a half to bake to

a temperature inside the home of $72.00 degrees celsius. the bay 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 the home. i always do some bread crumbs before the cold because otherwise it wants the traditionally, the use 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 fund, 2 forks and done some in the melted cheese. you'll need choose from the l. y wine,

corn starch, lemon, garlic, cherry, brandy, and pepper for a classic cheese phone. 2. first, it's a good idea to great the cheese. this recipe calls for various kinds. i know it's not that it doesn't make one is from the in gardena valleys and all the cheese is on test drive to outline chains from cal milk. the blend makes for the right fund 200. the pod is coated with garlic, to give it some extra flavor. next, the corn starch wipe, wine and lemon juice, or mix together and poured onto the grated cheese. which gave little bit to the shots, and now we add a little black pepper. and the final ingredient is to send to leaders of cherry brandy was the family i started the cheese found do over medium heat is not too hot too high. this consistencies me uniform window. save was

the christmas case 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 kind of tony in a 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. god said that's what i'm paying for what i did back in 20082010 though. i used to have some real issues. so for 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 speech, eddie, 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 on the murders fios he 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 pony 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 dependents on it, depending on their taste and we make 1400 a day. their shift begins at 4 in the morning. it takes 3 days before the pony tony is done and in its typical paper wrapping. once they're out of the oven, said, and his fellow baker's hang the cakes upside down. we turned 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

a year starting at 30 euros apiece. plus each of the a 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, each other. yeah. to sit young 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 to u. d. w. fill in for us, discover one of the most vibrant cities in your experience was hot in buildings. clubbing st. explode, the city's hidden gen, ed, learned to understand some peculiar german habits. pals create is a here for you to join us now at the w underscore building, press on tick tock, certainly seen in germany a christmas time. the handbook styles, a note over the wells. they come from

a small town called handbook in eastern germany, but they have a long history. we went there to find out more about god's play. i just loved driving through the towns before christmas and seeing all the stars hanging like this down. and 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 learned how to make these kinds of stars in school. and i think it's a really big part of our identity size. moving, tighten 30 pets. the stars named after the small town and 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.

or this view, at least this is what is the, the most difficult part of the folding. that's what it's the folding that really counts. getting that perfect cone with a beautiful tip, the kind of, you know and making the edges fit together. exactly. so that the star hasn't even shakes done. plasma is 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. hood schools dates back to 1810. now think about was seemingly as a part of teaching geometry to children. come up on this. and when i, myself was a student at hand hook school in clinic said we also learned this an our math class down this down simple, easy x,

truancy is of the star symbolizes jesus christ. to actually 50 says it's actually our most important symbol invite not just a hint and but really a sign of god's light shining into the darkness and jesus christ coming to us. this happened to him stands that big guy worked on the star myself. i would, 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 a patent for the 25 pointed star. and it's occurring 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 stars 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 star system, of 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 law. at least y'all in this number slips and i used to work in the streets and mocked and dressed and for many years. and i could see the tower of the file and choose the 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. this one transports off with or large or small. for many people around the world, the christmas spirit arrives with a glow of a hand hoot star. slack

dogs at the very resent you into animals. and we stand 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 fled race like holland otc. the system as well as mine, man is one of $66.00 musters taking 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 a 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. a good system, a ride from yellow in norway with 12 european sled dogs. she loves her dogs, and that even one her a special award. as the master 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 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 then 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. somebody was the one simple reason you just look at the dogs, they get all excited and play around together until they run really fast at the beginning and give it, they're all good. they just want to run best. you can always to get it 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. cisco and her assistants are harnessing the excited dogs, the

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. ok, no problem. so nothing. so it's nice to have a clean teen run. no problem. after the race, the dogs are sent 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,
