How do you keep coming up with new and exciting ideas and find rare and exotic ingredients well some work with socalled food scouts over in the u. S. Food scouts have been around for a while but its a new profession here in germany. Is one of the 1st. What does it take to be a food scout do you need to be armed to the teeth always on the hunt hardly much more important our sight smell and taste. As food scouts or from scouts i look for extraordinary projects here in franconia of area for us to use in our goal my restaurant alexander hamilton. Youre the asphalt will sometimes travel several 100 kilometers a day to scout we 1st followed him to visit sebastian solomon who breed sturgeons and produces caviar. If you disobey but it would be more possible it was tasting a very special version of this delicacy whites to golden caviar from albino sturgeons. The food scout was impressed. Circulars at 3 euros per gram albino caviar is about 3 times as expensive as black caviar. That its pretty rare which is why im very happy it works so well by sebastians and or and it means we can offer these regional caviar in a restaurant and thats very special to. Us. Next the food scott went to sebastian leader miles farm and bam back in southern germany it wasnt a restful visit to the pair dug up one metre long roots from the soil trying not to damage them that weve now got lots of juice in them and the more you damage them the more juice comes out thats a sign of quality and if i want to follow that and poll them out but i rip them that i need to stop from the beginning again of the old and the only extraordinary specialties warrant this much work what the 2 men are after are licorice roots these are usually found in west asia and are used for making licorice. But how does licorice root fit into gourmet cooking your brought his freshly secured treasures to the restaurant to head chef to b. S. Bates for tasting and Quality Assessment 1st the albino caviar. But. It doesnt have much flavor yet because its so fresh. Both agree that the sturgeon rose still needs to develop its full flavor so should be left a few more days. Next the food scout and head chef brainstorm ideas for including licorice on their menu. Brutus series holds its i can see the licorice featuring in some type of dessert there is time it may be combined with chocolate and fruit. And thats exactly how it was served licorice and chocolate were combined in a black truffle which was finally shaved onto a plum sorbet. The team in the gourmet restaurant has already won 2 michelin stars. There is also a fine a star kitchen which serves carefully composed dishes. Scouts and finds ingredients for both bistro and restaurant. Exotic fruits tend to lose a lot of flavor on long haul flights so the food scout gets them locally at cline eden palm house and. A fruit safari for star cuisine woman ill be there on an answer but today the hunch is for spice with some a fire in the air weve got to leave you and while chilly and down there is a type of china each as little as a tie to the know your god isnt only here for the chilis hes also after their leaves. At 1st the head chef is baffled. As all floods have been the greens are often just cut off without some mistake here with the chilly foliage it makes sense to keep them with. Well you say you again saw something no one else word here is the good and the leaves ships hippies trips to vegas nicely all those by sea tributes are truly chips the leaves are tossed in temper a batter and then deep fried in hot oil. Next to b. S. Baits coats the green chips with a fiery chili paste. Branch as it spies into. The suburb of spicy but sensational you really come up with Something Special here. Caviar from the albino sturgeon licorice roots from a farm in bam back and spicy chips made from chile leaves. And with that food scout your cost filed heads off on a new journey theres still a lot more to discover. Designing and building churches has probably always been one of the most challenging faiths in architecture to vote for the a is from france and hes a devoted churchgoer of those not so much because hes religious he visits them as a traveling photographer and hes always on the lookout for new subjects. For me its definitely the architecture and the power of this modern architecture through the 20th century. They always have a Central Point of view in that the churches are always empty. So my goal is really just to create the sort of. Feeling so that people can you know immerse themselves in the architecture. Book for years seeks out modern churches around the world for his photo series sacred spaces. Like notre dame to try in paris its original its different from anything you could have seen and also it has this visual impact with the difference of materials with you know the wood the steel the lighting is very very interesting and it. You know the workers of that era so it also has a very emotional. Impact i think on the whole neighborhood. This perspective presents the architecture in the best possible light. And yeah you see in this one whats really beautiful is that the pillars are you know all aligned so you really want them to be you know popping out of the photo so in that way you know the architecture speaks for itself there is no destructions its always the same the same angle and when you put them all you know next to each other theyre all very different but you get a cohesive. Feeling of you know all the different churches. Lives in paris he discovered his passion for modern churches 4 years ago and since then hes photographed 36 of them in europe and asia. The most difficult part is finding them. Because. When you start the series basically you start from 0 and there is a few that are kind of famous but most of them are not so its its mainly finding all the all the churches in the remote spaces so you would maybe never passed by and you would actually not imagine what this is like maybe offices but not really. Maybe a museum one this is no tour done to lash to learn youngs a cube shaped church on the outskirts of paris what the church is can very very radically and i think the reinterpreted what a church is. With the architecture because the. Church is fairly basic and its huge theres. The central part thats always there and then basically people sit around it. She goes approach is always the. Same he looks around chooses a point of view and takes a single shot. Thats it. At home he makes only minor corrections to the image most of the work is already done to mow is actually an interior designer and for him photography is just a hobby because his photo series have attracted attention around the globe. Like his project sleeping venice from 2018 he was able to capture almost surreal looking images of the city on the venetian lagoon. Venice without the madding crowds. Since 2015 probably has also been taking pictures of libraries around the world this photo series is his most famous work to date. Its a specific space that everybody understands you know libraries or churches everybodys been there at least once in their lives. And they were made for a specific reason and so what i really find interesting how these architects have you know created. You know these different buildings but with the say the same purpose. One of his favorite churches is notre dame do not sell it in paris he feels that the round concrete structure emanates a sense of tranquility d. I guess im a pretty cool guy i mean i like it when im alone in these places because you actually get to experience the architecture in a very different way you know. Its just for it seems like its been built just for you when youre there and you can witness it for you know how are you perceive it. And in the photos people can imagine themselves in in the picture. For his photo series of sacred spaces a testament to faith in the power of modern architecture.

Striving for artistic perfection is not the only challenge the canvas face the temperature inside the hole is about minus 10 degrees celsius so its hard to stay warm the blocks of ice are up to 2 metres tall and its a tough job to sculpt them using sharp chisels and chainsaws. Its hard to go work at the end of the day everybody if you have the shoulder or arm was. Detained and their preferred mode of danger the good work that you.
