We celebrate Epiphany when the Three Kings followed the star to the stable, on the 6th January here in the UK. What a lovely idea that the children bring the stickers to each house.
Yes, it's even a public holiday in the area where Joerg comes from. We love that they bless the house, before Covid they even used chalk to write it above the door but the stickers have made things easier and it lasts better.
I sometimes make 3 Kings Cake for Epiphany. I’ve done it with almond icing, and also with Turkish candy floss (not the more generally available American kind).
OMG Luca!! How wonderful. He is so cute, adorable, charming, handsome, intelligent, and kind. I love seeing him again since the last time you both cooked together. This video warmed my heart so much! I wish you could make more videos with your lovely family. Thank you for the lovely 40 minutes of smiles on my face.
What a lovely video! Luca is such a personable young man and you both thoroughly enjoyed yourselves cooking this delicious looking dish. I can see the family resemblance, you & Luca have the same smile when you laugh! Well done to both of you, cheers ❤
Good looks and wonderful personalities must be a wonderful family trait! Enjoyed cooking with you both, looks delicious! Looking forward to next time. Take care!
I just love seeing your posts. My grandfather came from Ohringen to England in 1889 at the age of 17. I just love seeing your posts of the beautiful German food that I remember growing up with. I am almost 70 and love my German roots. Happy New Year to you and Joerg and of course your nephew. X
Aw this is such a sweet family time with your very handsome and fun nephew! Brought all the Christmas cheer back and loved the car ride and shopping especially at the little shop along the road. I must say your nephew sure keeps a clean place and very well fit out. Loved the church bells ringing we used to have that in so many of our towns and cities years ago but people complained about them. So sad.
We had this also at our mum's home. It looks lovely, but can be dangerous. I remember when i was a child, the tree burnt down and my grandpa had to put out the fire :-)) But i think here in Northern Europe is it still common to have real candles on the tree.
That was an interesting German meal. Although I am half German, living in the U.S., I don’t know too much about German culture and food. Thank you for sharing. You have a nice relationship with your nephew. ❤
And Lotte is absolutely precious... she looks so beautiful and cuddly! ❤ I try to speak what little German I know to my dachshund once in a while, and even though he was born here in Florida, I swear he minds better, haha. "Kommen Sie, schnell!"
I remember Luca cooking with you two years ago. It was wonderful to have him back. He cooks well, Kirsten and the two of you get on so well. I really liked hearing the church bells and seeing Luca's Christmas tree. Happy new year to you both.
I'm American and yes, I thought all Germans eat sauerkraut daily. I am very surprised! We eat more sauerkraut than you all, wow! Your nephew is delightful, and it would be nice for you all to take a road trip in England together.
So so delightful. Another cherishable vid from Kirsten sharing her tradition. The bonus feature is having her nephew sharing. I'm loving it. It's only proper to say 'we miss you too Joerg' Thank you Kirsten & Luca.
Das war ein tolles Video und es machte Spass, euch beim Kochen zuzuschauen! Sowieso mag ich alle Einblicke, die ihr mir aus eurem Leben in England gebt! Ihr seid so natürlich und begeisterungsfähig, einfach eine Bereicherung ❤ Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz 😊
My mum use to love Sauerkraut she would eat by the jar lol and were from Manchester, i use potato starch insted of corn starch and is great on roast potatoes, and the food looks lovely 😍
Kirsten you are so sweet and kind❤ I always enjoy your videos! Well done for all the good work, the music you choose, the beautiful scenery, your calm talking👌👌👌 love from Greece❤
The very first video I watched on your channel was the one in Devon with Luca! How nice to see him again! You two work well together and the love is sweet to see. Thanks for sharing the time spent with him with us!😊
Your video was delightful with your nephew Lucca. Kirsten I love hearing you speak German your voice is sweet and full of personality. Thank you for a lovely 2024 full of videos. Wishing you and yours a lovely 2025.
What a terrific video. Your nephew seems like a very charming young man. I grew up learning how to make sauerkraut. I’ll have to make some again this year. I’m tempted to try making this dish. If I do I’ll let you know. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤❤🇨🇦
I began watching your TH-cam all those years ago when Luca joined you in England. I've so enjoyed watching you all these years since. So nice to see you and Luca together again. I have a very fond relationship with my nephew as well so sweet to see that you have the same.
We cannot stress enough how much that means to us, thank you so so much for sticking around, it's so amazing! Hope you had a wonderful start into 2025!
Beautiful d memories Kirsten, listening to the church bells, very similar to the ones I heard at my uncles' house in Zurich....also in Geneve where I studied, here in Buenos Aires, I hear those of St Patrick chuch, because it is a silent neighborhood.thank you for that also 😊💕
That was such a fun video, it’s nice to see the bits and pieces of Germany you share. And oh my goodness, your nephew certainly looks like you! I have a daughter that looks like her aunt much more than she looks like me! After watching the food prep, I was wishing I was there to have a sample.
Bonjour Kristen, une vidéo très sympathique pleine de joie et d'énergie....Merci pour ce très bon moment passé avec vous ....La recette à l'air délicieuse.....A bientôt ! 🙂
This was so, so much fun! Your nephew, Luca, is a total delight! And how I wish I were there to take a big bite of your delicious dumplings! Happy New Year to alllllll in Germany! From California…
Wonderful you were able to stay a little longer with family. Love the Lotta ♥ video, so full of fun and energy... I got my wish that you and Luca would cook together again. The dumplings turned out well. Glad they tasted good too!!! 🥔🔪🥣
Great video. Your Nephew is a very handsome young man.
That you so so much for watching!
@@KirstenJoerg I love your videos . Happy new year to you and yours.
Your nephew has a lot of Joergs mannerisms. Such a lovely family
What a lovely smile Luca has.I'm not surprised he is taken..he cooks,his home is spotless,stylish,welcoming
And what a lovely voice!❤
Hello! I am a deaf American man. Your video is great. Your young nephew is so nice to help you prepare dinner. He is a talented cook. 🧑🍳 Have fun! ❤
I see the resemblance Kristen, Luka looks a bit like his auntie, he even smiles like you. Such handsome young gentleman.
Handsome nephew & he seems so sweet just like you! Love the bells and the 3 kings blessing tradition 🕊️💕
Thank you so much!

@@KirstenJoerg Yes, we do that too. Chalk is blessed. Written above the door is 20+C+M+B+25. Also singing and saying prayers.
This was just super. Loved hearing you speak German, meeting Luca and seeing Lotta in action!!! See you when you get home! Cheers!
I love hearing you speak German. Although I'm UK born, my ancestors came from Schleswig-Holstein. My father spoke German, sadly I don't.
You and Luca were a joy to watch. Nothing better than a family recipe cooked with love and laughter. Well done.
I thought.
The tree was real. It is beautiful. I love the ornaments.
OMG Luca!! How wonderful. He is so cute, adorable, charming, handsome, intelligent, and kind. I love seeing him again since the last time you both cooked together. This video warmed my heart so much! I wish you could make more videos with your lovely family. Thank you for the lovely 40 minutes of smiles on my face.
Thank you so very much, this makes us so very happy!
Isn’t it funny our baby nephews turned into men and are now such unique human beings that are lovely to get to know.
Traditions have a lifetime of memories. Always reminiscing keeps our hearts & minds ALIVE.
Thank you for sharing your family time with us with Luca and the cooking.
What a lovely video! Luca is such a personable young man and you both thoroughly enjoyed yourselves cooking this delicious looking dish. I can see the family resemblance, you & Luca have the same smile when you laugh! Well done to both of you, cheers ❤

Funny, Luca has Joerge's mannerisms. I loved hearing the three languages.
I love when you both speak German ❤

That was lovey to see you both cooking and enjoying your shopping trip for supplies. Lotta is beautiful. Food looked delicious.

Thanks so much! Oh no, that's really sad! We simply love hearing the church bells and could never ever complain about it.
Your father's dog is precious.It looks like She has a smile on her Face when you were playing with youfabulous video, thank you.
Happy New Year Kirsten! I love when you speak German. Such a nice video. Thank you and thanks to Luca.
Thank you so much Doug - wishing you just the best for 2025!
What fun to see you cooking with your nephew. You're the fun Auntie😊
It looks like you had so much fun with your nephew.😊
What great fun you had with your nephew. Cooking is a great shared experience. Lotta is so beautiful. ❤
I think you have a wonderful chef for a nephew!!! What a wonderful guy!
So so glad you think so - he really is a lovely young man!
He has candles on his tree! I grew up in America and my Danish Mom would put candles on our trees also.!
He has the same candle lights on his tree as us, they are electric but look lovely.
We had this also at our mum's home. It looks lovely, but can be dangerous. I remember when i was a child, the tree burnt down and my grandpa had to put out the fire :-)) But i think here in Northern Europe is it still common to have real candles on the tree.
Recipe looks yummy. Luca is giving young Colin Firth vibes...so cute and sweet-natured.
Oh my, someone else said that too! Now that you're saying it, he will be thrilled I think.
Luca is such a handsome and nice young man. And I love Lotta. She is adorable. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a lovely young man your nephew is. I look forward to seeing him in England soon. Happy and healthy New year you and your family xxx
Thanks so much - Happy New Year to you as well!

The family resemblance between you and your nephew is adorable!! Blessings upon blessings to you and your loved ones throughout the new year! ♥️
Hallo dears!so sweet video!yamy! what a tasty food!your nephew looks a lot of Joerg!bless him!
They used to ring the bells at noon in the European town I grew up in, in Wakefield, Massachusetts, USA.
It looks delicious for a winter dish. I want to add that Kirsten makes German sound soft and delicate ¨̮
Luca is adorable and I see a family resemblance with the two of you
Lovely video. The meal looked delicious. Your nephew is charming.
This was so fun! I loved every minute of it! You make a great team! Handsome, beautiful and fun! Your laugh is the best, Kirstin. Thank you

Great video with your nephew - your comfort level and joy in each other’s company is so heartwarming!❤
That was an interesting German meal. Although I am half German, living in the U.S., I don’t know too much about German culture and food. Thank you for sharing. You have a nice relationship with your nephew. ❤
What a lovely young man, Luca is!! I would like to see more of him😍
He is lovely! It would be amazing to film more with him but sadly not possible as he lives in Germany but we hope we can see him in England this year.

Thank you for sharing very helpful and very nice your nephew 😊😊😊😊
Food looks yum. I must cook one of these dishes. Luca is such a good sport. His kitchen is about perfect for filming in I would say.👍
Happy New Year Kirsten and Luca from Florida. Luca is so cute. How fun to get to cook together. Looks delicious.
Wonderful you were able to stay a little longer with family. Love the Lotta ♥ video, so full of fun and energy... I got my wish that you and Luca would cook together again. The dumplings turned out well. Glad they tasted good too!!! 🥔🔪🥣
Thank you so much!
I love It's sauerkraut😊. It is so delicious. I remember eating it as a child. And I still do love cabbage.
That looks sooo good. Maybe I'll get to taste it one day! Hope Luka is able to visit UK.
Try cutting the onions under cold running water, it helps prevent the tears
I hope that Luca and his girlfriend will visit you soon in England. It was so nice to see him again!😃
We really hope so too!
I just put the 20 + C + M + B + 25 on my door last night. Im Anglican in Canada and this is a tradition for us too.
Oh wie schön deinen Neffen wieder in einem Video zu sehen. Schönen Gruß aus Österreich 😊
Vielen herzlichen Dank! Ganz liebe Grüße
