    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!
