White Asparagus

White asparagus (Spargelzeit) is a German 'season' running from April through June, when the 'white gold' is harvested in Germany. Celebrate it at home with my creamy white asparagus soup, Spargelcrêpes and white asparagus Flammkuchen!

Hallo! I'm Sophie Sadler, cookbook author of 'The German Home Kitchen', coming this September, and 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 pretzel s! So, I started sharing my love for German food and traditions with fun, easy-to-follow recipes. Stay a while, bookmark some recipes, and let’s cook together!
