Sophie Sadler moved from Germany to the United States in 2009 and soon started to terribly miss the German food! She still longs for a nice weekend brunch with crusty Brötchen (rolls), Teilchen (pastries), Döner Kebab, and German cake and coffee time at 15 o’clock. So she decided to educate other Germany-missing friends by writing about German food and traditions in a fun way with easy-to-follow recipes.
