Hallo, I'm Sophie Sadler!
I am an internationally bestselling cookbook author of my first cookbook 'German Home Kitchen'. Since 2015, I share authentic German recipes at my German food blog 'dirndl kitchen.' I am so 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.
