Feel Close to Germany - Every Single Day
Welcome to The German Connection
Â
You know it too well. That warm, comforting feeling that washes over you while get to eat a real German meal in Germany. Maybe it's a slice of homemade Apfelkuchen at Oma’s kitchen table? Or maybe a bowl of comforting Kartoffelsuppe in a cozy Gasthaus? That feeling of belonging?
Skip forward to today and you're able to feel that same way... right from your own kitchen. That’s exactly what The German Connection is here to help you create.
This community is full of expats, heritage speakers, Germany-lovers, and curious souls who are making the German way of living a natural part of everyday life, no matter where in the world they live. You learn to live your connection to Germany. You are making it part of who you are.
You already know something is missing.
Â
Maybe it's the food that transports you back to childhood.
Maybe it's the rhythm of German seasons and traditions.
Maybe it's the deep longing to not just visit Germany, but to feel at home in it again.
You don’t want to feel like Germany is only available to you when travel allows.
You crave that sense of belonging on a Tuesday morning while the smell of fresh-baked Brötchen is in the air (possibly the best smell ever!)
...or on a Sunday afternoon with your kids as you bake Marmorkuchen for Kaffee und Kuchen.
You’re ready to stop missing Germany and start bringing it to life in your home.
You just need someone to show you the way.
Â
That’s where I come in.
Hi, I’m Sophie, German expat, cookbook author, food blogger at dirndl kitchen, and your new guide inside The German Connection.
Â
When I moved to the U.S., I felt the distance from my family and culture deeply. Cooking and baking traditional German food became my lifeline. But it wasn’t always easy. I had to figure out how to recreate those tastes and textures using the ingredients, tools, and ovens I had here, without needing a suitcase full of hard-to-find imports.
Over the years, I cracked the code. And now I want to pass that on to you!
This membership is not just about recipes (though you’ll get plenty of those). It’s about helping you become your ownhero. The one who recognizes what they miss, what they need, and takes steps to grow those skills and deepen that connection. And I am here to help you get there.
Here’s what you’ll find inside:
✨ Authentic German Recipes
🫶 Live Interactive Meetups
🌍 Monthly Cultural Extras
đź’¬ A Private Community
Picture joining a community where every member is as passionate about living a life closer to Germany as you are.
This is for you if...
- You’re tired of feeling like Germany is something you have to miss
- You want to pass down your heritage to your children in tangible, delicious ways
- You’ve tried German recipes before but they never tasted quite right
- You’re ready to feel proud, connected, and aligned with your roots
- You want more comfort, culture, and belonging in your everyday life
You're exactly where you are supposed to be.
You already have what it takes to build that connection. You just need the tools, the recipes, and a guide who’s walked the path.
Let me show you how to turn your home into a place that feels like Germany, where memories are made, heritage is honored, and every bite brings you closer to who you really are.
Come join us inside The German Connection and become the person who doesn’t just long for Germany… but lives it.
We can’t wait to welcome you!
❤️ Sophie
I want in, Sophie!
