    Hallo, I'm Sophie Sadler!

    I am an internationally bestselling cookbook author of 'German Home Kitchen'. Since 2015, I share authentic German recipes at my German food blog 'dirndl kitchen.' I amso 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.

    Stay a while, bookmark some recipes, and let’s cook and bake together!
