The Swabian Alb is a plateau in the south of Germany - it is the highest part of the foothills of the Jura Mountains. Alongside the "Alb-lentil", the area is known for its pastries, “Laugenbrezeln” and "Maultaschen". Spätzle with lentils are the Schwabian national dish. The local Alblentils are cooked with a lot of dishes and can even being eaten in a cake.
What's cookin' is about traditional culinary recipes from different European regions.

What is the name of the farmer family?.
Every member of the family seems to be doing his/her job. A very heart-warming video.
I just came here to see a lentil dessert, but this video was SO much more than that. Beautiful family and great story! God Bless!
I did felt sorry for the 16 y.o. when she explained that the job she was doing was fun until her mother criticizes her, than it is no longer a joy to do it. If we parents would only realize what damage we do by criticizing, we would never do it. Criticism is not teaching nor instructing. It is quite the opposite. It takes all joy out of learning.
What a beautiful family. What a beautiful community. Big is not better. We all should go back to smaller communities who rely and trust on each others word. Where we work together for the common good instead of being crooked and for ourselves. I wish this family would adopt me.
Loved the family unique lentils recipes and their diligent simple lifestyle is awesome
I love to see how the entire family is involved in the farm work . It must help them all bond with each other all the more .
Kümmel is not cumin in English, it's caraway. Cumin is Kreuzkümmel (completely different plant).
sort of different plant.
But what she is using on her bread is cumin not caraway
@@shumailaansari24 No. She says Kümmel, which is caraway seeds. Swabians would never use cumin.
@@blondecat666 100% True! ;) Both spices belong to the umbellifera family and are botanically closely related. But even if the name suggests, cumin is not a subspecies of the caraway. ... The difference in taste between cumin and caraway is very large
Its so good to see how you solve the problem of drying with organic grain and lentils. Here in the USA even organic garbanzos and lentils are allowed to be sprayed with round up to dry the husk for harvest. We have found a local co-op that buys from an organic farmer who does not use roundup. Its very rare and hard to find this way in the US and Canada.
I am really appalled to hear that organic crops can be sprayed with roundup.
I love all your videos but this one touched me more, with the down-to-earth parents instilling principles in their children and those great beauties, the daughters with their clear eyes and modest demeanour and the hard-working son.... 😍😍😍
It was especially moving to hear that the traditional lentils that the family grows in this video, almost a lost crop, were recovered in recent years from the Vavilov Institute in Russia. If you don't know the story of Vavilov's collection, look it up. This tremendous seed bank was protected by dedicated staff members during the Siege of Leningrad in WWII, during a time when the people in the city were starving and without fuel, and several of the staff members actually died of starvation while preserving (and never eating) the precious seeds and grains in the collection. Whether or not these particular lentils were among the crops saved in the war, it shows how our seeds are the among the greatest treasures we have.
Thank you for this information, I'll definitely have to research further.
That dedication to the end touches my heart and brings tears to my eyes.
Beautiful family! Thank you for the wonderful movie!
So nice to see the little girl sitting on her papa's lap . Fathers and daughters always have such a beautiful relation worldwide .
I’ve never seen grass brought in for cows to feed on. I usually associate grass-fed with pasture grazing. This is a really amazing vid on organic farming.
Then you need to watch what farmers in India do, as they too bring fodder for their animals, grind it up and give them to the cows.
Thank you very much. A wonderful show. Danke.
Beautiful country, beautiful family, as it should be.
What a wonderful familia. Pure joy watching this video.
That bread! Just like when I was growing up, my grandmother used to bake once a week. Wonderful video!♥️🥧♥️
this is so beautiful..a loving,harwork family,helping each othet
Thank you for making this documentary. I am an Indigenous person in America and told my friend in Germany how we used to grow corn, beans, and squash together (like lentils and spelt) and when eaten together they made a complete protein. He mentioned to me about this traditional food - lentils and spaetzle. When I heard this as well in your documentary it made me think our ancient cultures knew what they were doing. I hope to try this meal one day.
Swabian here (Unterland). Current inventory of Alb-Leisa: 4 boxes. So glad that a local Rewe store keeps them in stock. Especially in autum and winter times Lentils and Spätzle are served once a week. And a little flatulence once in a while keeps your bowels fit for duty.
Beautiful people, beautiful culture 😘
I remember a Sprichwort (adage) said to encapsulate some Schwabish values from when I lived in Baden-Wurttemburg: "Schaffe, schaffe, Haeusle baue!" It means, "Work, work! Build a little house!" Diligence, hard work, and thrift will enable you to be secure in your own home, if I was told correctly. And Haeusle [I don't know how to make an umlaut over the "a", instead of "ae"], the family's name, is pronounced the same!
That potato salad omg!,,
How do you make your potato salat
Its being rediscovered that cows also benefit from browsing on low growing natural shrubs. Forest browsing cows are actually healthier than purely pastured cows.
k8eekatt pasteurized cows were meant to eat grass not grains but it's just the demand by the population that makes it impossible. Look at how gorgeous these cows look, the cows here in Washington are very nice compared to Californian cows that I've seen but are not as pretty and shiny or as healthy looking as these beauties.
At Christmas I was gathering long trailing ivy to decorate my home ( with holly) and found all the ivy I had seen previously growing and hanging from the trees had been stripped completely of leaves, and saw a small herd if cattle brought in to overwinter in this sheltered field munching greedily on the trailing ivy !!!! Cheek !! Eating my ivy !! Lol
I loved this story! Thank you.
the daughter has the universe shining in her eyes
3 years ago I found this channel and I immediately fell on love with it 🥰 I watched nearly all the videos , this year I remembered it and i wanted it so bad , I kept searching for it but I couldn’t find it , but here it is all of a sudden in front of me 😍😍

A beautiful glimpse into their lives.
Thanks for sharing video I have no idea how lentil grow.. amazing family’s so much love ❤️
What a beautiful video. Is this a TV show in Germany? I really like it and thanks for the subtitles.
I havent seen that over here on TV! I guess it is not german!
@@danielstrobel3832 It is a ZDF production from 2014.
It is in south - west Germany !!!!
Baden - Württemberg/ Schwäbische Alb !!!!!!!
Show the Begin !!!!! of this show !!!!
23:00 ".....God's little bullshitters".
Hilarious!
And they are delicious😊😊😊
You are sooooo blessed..
What a beautiful family and farm. Wishing you only the best
What a life.
Community and communal singing.
Heartwarming song at the end !! Hope everyone is safe during this pandemic.
What a beautiful and skilled family.
What a beautiful and informative video. I felt great peace watching this wonderful family, God Bless
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode.
Great show. You can tell that both Dad and Mum are dedicated. They are a beautiful family.
This video changed my mind about Germany!
What was your opinion about Germany before? 😊
God bless your farm and your family
Lentils are the easiest bean to sprout. The sprouted lentils are nuttier in texture and have a different nutritional profile than unsprouted.
LaCelestia Thanks for sharing this information. I'm inspired to try it.
I love lentils. I regularly make a Balkan lentil soup (no-one makes it as well as my mum) and use lentils in salads. They're so nutritious. I only recently discovered that lentils are a common ingredient in many near east, middle eastern and Indian sweets and they taste delicious. I believe Turks also use red lentils for a vegetarian kofte. So many recipes, so little time!
Its nice to see women who like to cook for their men
I grow the berry's too, so I'd love the recipe here to try it. This is a great story, great family, and I'd love to visit their farm and see those cows !! :) and smell that bread....
Found the recipes and tried the 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗮̈𝘁𝘇𝗹𝗲 tonight, everyone had 2 servings and loved it. Delicioso !!! Thank you for dinner tonight !!!
Beautiful family
Vielen dank
These are my people and they make me proud.
wouldnt it be nice to marry a farmers daughter in europe.
Respect to the whole video production team, I haven't seen such well done classical editing in a long time. No "modern" shenanigans, just pure storytelling. The family is awesome, too - and I'm not just saying that because I'm from the same region :)
Beautiful place!!!! Well done! I'm getting sooooo hungry watching this...lol
Absolutely Awsome...we love lentils cooked with tomatoes...and other recipes.....Ann from Georgia 💕 🙋
Try a german lentil soup! Great!
Such joy!
Ha, I have a spätzlehobel bought in a thrift store.
I can't say that my kids liked it when I cooked them,
but they are (not being from that part of Europe) not used to them.
I've been to Swabia many times as a guest, and they have never offered me anything with lentils. I'm disappointed now. I love lentils.
Nice film. It's a nice part of the country.
A really good (German) lentil soup is the best there is. I already liked it as a child and my girlfriend still makes it for me (I don't get it so good...) so that I can freeze it and eat it whenever I have an appetite for it.
I would certainly try this if I had recipe....Ann from Georgia 💕 🙋
This is a lovely story and an excellent video.
Wow ! Humbling and a window into real family vaues completely lost in my part of the world. No wonder I'm so miserable !
WOW! That was interesting. Enjoyed watching this.
Ahh, that potatoe salad is the best! And Spätzle with Lentils ... one of the best simple meals.
The times I´ve been to Stuttgart, I´ve never witnessed a widespread consumption of lentils, so this for me is a revelation.
Very interesting and informative!! Being of german descent it felt close to home.
Absolutely love the family ❤
Excellent film! Thank you for sharing.😊
Would love to have the recipe of the dishes prepared
Great watch.
Beautiful, as always, thank you!!
Actually, it looks as if she is sprinkling the breads with caraway seeds
(not that the difference is that big visually).
Caraway is a spice that is commonly found in inland Europe,
while cumin is found mostly around the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
This being the Schäbische Alb, it is more likely to be caraway than cumin.
Beautiful family’s work well together God lord Jesus bless them.
Ich mag die leute
watching this while eating lentils with rice instead of spätzle
American farmers should watch this. Treat your animals well, feed them well. Enough with the wasteful mass production and cruelty for the sake of profit.
great video. healthy living. amazing.
Loved this ❤️
4:47 Kümmel is not cumin, it's caraway. Kreuzkümmel is cumin. So, that bread is being topped with caraway seeds, not cumin seeds.
Family is lovely, terrific people and great promotion for Serbia.
Barley . Spelt , wheat , cumin , milk - all from the land
It's caraway, not cumin.
Caraway seeds not cumin.
What a healthy life wish were here too. Everything is processed and killing us slowly 🙁🙁
People as to lentils as an analogy is quite interesting 🤔
It is not cumin, it is caraway
Nice 👍

Absolutely loved this... but preparing pasta dough with flies??
I wonder how are they doing now.... weather can be so unpredictable now with global warming and all
❤
I'd love to try making that warm potato salad at the end, can anyone tell me how they cooked the thinly sliced potatoes? It must be thin sliced when raw right? How do you cook such delicate slices? I also love the idea of the spaetzle with lentils, sounds so good!
Use a slicer, and gently lower them into boiling water with a flat mesh spoon. Only leave them in the boiling water for a few minutes, then drain them - basically like you would cook pasta.
No, you can boil the potatoes first, then remove skins and slice or cut thinly with a knife.

Caraway not cumin!
I like this video but the food does not look appetizing. Lentils in cake? Interesting

Oh my goodness. You can't even get the name right? Swabian Alp!
its the alb. the alps are the high mountains more in the south. --> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swabian_Jura
I live without lentils just fine, yuk! 🙂
How is it possible to make a living out of so few cows, comfortable enough to have a modern milking shed, and all this without feeding them any grains? Cows would produce less than half of the expected. Something's fishy......
As the video goes into, they are also growing and selling barley, ie. to the local brewery. It's not just the cows, they talk about 'many different pieces' keeping the farm going. Who knows? Maybe the son even works repairing other farmer's machinery. In such a short video, it's not possible to go into great depth but most farms have several income streams.
they don't make a living out of the cows. Not to mention it is a 2nd or 3rd generation farm. Please don't be suspicious on something good like this beautiful family.
You are mistaken, you forget the agricultural part of the farm.
Government support, probably, since they're part of a small group of organic farmers growing a specialty crop. And it's not like the episode shows the full extent of their farm operation and other sources of income.
Τάνια Μακαρώνα from the crops, baked goods, small milk they sell and maybe selling some calls for meat that are probably more expensive anyhow
