    Hallo, I'm Sophie!

    When I first moved from Germany to the United States in 2009, I started to terribly miss the German way of eating! I still miss a nice weekend brunch with crusty Brötchen and pastries, Döner Kebab and German cake and coffee time at 3 p.m.!

    So in 2012, I decided to educate my fellow Germany-hungry friends by writing about German customs and food with easy-to-follow German recipes! I hope you stay a while and decide to cook and bake with me! Stick a while and HIT SUBSCRIBE here.

    Mit viel Liebe

    Hallo, I'm Sophie!

    I am so happy that you are here at my German food and recipe blog named dirndl kitchen! Let's cook and bake authentic German recipes to help us feel closer to Germany!

    I moved from Germany to the United States in 2009 and soon started to terribly miss the German food (okay, my family, too)! I still miss a nice weekend brunch with crusty Brötchen (rolls) and Teilchen (pastries), Döner Kebab and German cake and coffee time at 15 o'clock! So I decided to educate my fellow Germany-missing friends by writing about German food and traditions. I do so in a fun way with easy-to-follow recipes! I hope you stay a while and bookmark some recipes, so we can cook and bake together.

    Mit viel Liebe (with much love)
