Tastes from the German Home Kitchen with Sophie Sadler of Dirndl Kitchen

A good home-cooked meal has the ability to instantly transport you to a time and place. For Sophie Sadler of Dirndl Kitchen, German food brings her back to a childhood spent cooking and baking in her Oma’s kitchen.

When you arrive, you’ll sit down to Vesperplatte (German rustic snack boards) and pretzels. During class, Sophie will share tips, tricks, and traditions behind some of the authentic German recipes she grew up with, like Oma Sieghilde’s onion tart served with a green salad, crispy fried pork cutlets in a creamy mushroom sauce, and a red wine pear cake. Each course of the evening will be paired with a complementary wine. You’re invited to sit back, relax, and enjoy dinner as you hear about Sophie’s journey and why she spent years perfecting recipes to share a real taste of home.

About Sophie Sadler,

Sophie Sadler’s mission is to help everyone learn to love German food because it's so much more than pretzels and bratwurst (not that those aren't great foods to start with)! In 2015, after six years of living in the United States, she began her German food blog , where she shares many of her German recipes to connect with her upbringing, culture, and the food she grew up with. For those that want a deep dive in into German cuisine, she offers a membership with detailed monthly video tutorials, live meetings, and challenges. Sophie also creates seasonal handmade candles reminiscent of things she misses about Germany. Her first cookbook “German Home Kitchen” debuts in October of this year. She hopes that with her recipes you get to experience a bit of Germany the way she grew up with, tucked away between vineyards in the Mosel valley.
