German Fall Recipes
Fall in Germany means celebrating seasonal highlights like the grape harvest and Zwiebelkuchen, Saint Martin with Martinsbrezeln and I can't not add a little pumpkin in there. Adding in German food to celebrate Thanksgiving is one of my favorite things to do!

Hallo, I'm Sophie Sadler!
I am the internationally bestselling cookbook author of 'German Home Kitchen'. Since 2015, I share authentic German recipes at my German food blog 'dirndl kitchen.' I amso happy you’re here! 🥨
When I moved from Trier, Germany to the U.S. in 2009, I soon terribly missed the flavors of home. Crusty German bread, flaky pastries, afternoon Kaffee & Kuchen, and, of course, Döner Kebab and pretzels! After finally succeeding at getting the flavors just right, I had to let you in on my secrets! I started sharing my love for German food and traditions with fun, easy-to-follow recipes, inspired by my Oma Sieghilde's cooking and favorites we love as our family of 5.
