Sophie Sadler Title: Allrecipes Allstar Sophie Sadler is a home cook passionate about sharing her love of German cuisine. Born in Germany and now living in Kansas City, she started her blog, Dirndl Kitchen, to share delicious recipes and stories of German culture. Her greatest joy has been bringing a community of German foodies together. Sophie received her bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Finance from Kansas University. After graduating, she decided to launch Dirndl Kitchen to educate her fellow American friends about German customs and food. This involved a lot of cooking, converting grams to ounces and cups, and drinking Paulaner Hefeweizen! Sophie credits her Oma Sieghilde’s (Oma is German for grandma) cooking and baking for her love of all things German. About Allrecipes Home cooks are our heroes; it's as simple as that.
