How do you live?

What do you like to cook?

Sybille Beckenbauer: That depends on the season. In winter, there is also a lentil soup with sausages, in the summer a lot of fish and fried. I am a good eater and often download recipes from the internet, try something new.

If you needed a lonely island, what three things would be guaranteed in your luggage?

Friends are important?
