Winter Recipes
Winter in Germany isn't the same without all the German comfort foods, bundled up walks and sledding, then warming up with a glass of Glühwein and a hot pot of soup.
Hallo, I'm Sophie!
When I first moved from Germany to the United States in 2009, I terribly missed authentic German food! I still miss a nice weekend brunch with crusty Brötchen and pastries, Döner Kebab and German cake and coffee time at 3 p.m.
In 2015, it was time for me to help my fellow German food craving friends out! I started cooking, baking and writing about German customs and food with easy-to-follow German recipes. Recreating those foods as authentically as possible at our home in Kansas City has helped me feel closer to Germany and my family.
I hope you stay a while, bookmark some recipes and cook and bake with me! HIT SUBSCRIBE here for my weekly free email newsletter.
Mit viel Liebe (with much love)
