In Part 2, Eylin tells you about other popular eating styles she’s tried – and what she ultimately decided was healthiest for her.

Back in the 1970s, vegetarianism in Germany was considered pretty radical. When Eylin’s parents became vegetarian back then – and cooked only vegetarian food for their children – it led to a lot of heated discussion among her extended family.

Many different herbs grow in Eylin's garden – including sage, rosemary, and lavender! Use them for cooking or aromatherapy, or make some delicious medicinal teas.

In Part II of this video about Hesse, Cettina and Sabine tell us all about the geographical location of this German federal state. We also get to learn all about Frankfurt am Main, one of the most significant cities in Germany and a major European transport hub.

Today, Cettina and Sabine are making "Pfälzer Fläschknepp,” a regional dish from the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate. “Fläschknepp” means “meatballs” in the local dialect. These flavorful, savory meatballs are made from fresh ingredients, and are served with a pungent horseradish sauce. Enjoy!
