You love authentic German food like I do and that's why you're here! Many of my German recipes have taken me years to perfect and are inspired by my Oma Sieghilde's German cooking that I grew up with in Germany.

German Spring Recipes
Spring in Germany means it's finally Spargelzeit (white asparagus season) again (you must try Spargel Flammkuchen!) and Easter is right around the corner. Rhubarb and strawberries have their annual comeback and my favorite rhubarb recipe must be my mom's rhubarb streusel cake.

Hallo, I'm Sophie Sadler!
I am a cookbook author of 'The German Home Kitchen', coming this September, and a German food blogger at dirndl kitchen since 2015. I am so happy you’re here! 🥨
I moved from Trier, Germany to the U.S. in 2009 and soon terribly missed the flavors of home. Crusty German bread, flaky pastries, afternoon Kaffee & Kuchen, and, of course, Döner Kebab and pretzels! So, I started sharing my love for German food and traditions with fun, easy-to-follow recipes, inspired by my Oma Sieghilde's cooking. Stay a while, bookmark some recipes, and let’s cook together!
