Hi Julia,
Thanks for your reply!
I can imagine that your problem is more the other way round *lol*
As far as I can tell, the US have a very lively and active cookier community, and I am very grateful that with this site you offer the opportunity to partake at least virtually. Germany seems to be more or less a cookie-free-zone so far. I could only find one single person who is offering classes, way down in Munich. I suppose that classes would be a great way to find some personal contact and help cure my cookie-loneliness, alas, Munich is a little too far.
BTW, I have noticed that you will come to Copenhagen. Do you have any plans on visiting Germany sometime in the future? That would be so cool!
