Book tip of the week: Cooking at last
Editorial team
This book has no subtitle – and doesn’t need one. Because “Endlich kochen” by Paula Bründl is a declaration of love for cooking itself. To eating together. To life. And to what really counts: the little big moments around the kitchen table.
In this very personal cookbook, the 25-year-old from Salzburg, known from her own ServusTV show “Paula kocht”, combines alpine roots with modern esprit, down-to-earthness with vision and precision craftsmanship with a good pinch of joie de vivre. Endlich kochen is not a classic recipe book. It is a narrative, inspiring, almost philosophical work about cooking as a school of life.

Culinary delights with character
In eleven chapters - with melodious titles such as “Zomkemma”, “Owakeamma” or “Söbamoch'n” - Paula Bründl guides us through her world of taste. Sometimes it's about childhood memories and home cooking, sometimes about longing and new horizons. Each chapter is dedicated to a feeling, a moment in life, an inner attitude - and there are always recipes to match.
Whether it's pancakes with Vinschgau apricot jam, spinach pancakes or a quick and easy salad: the dishes are not complicated, but full of soul. They reflect Paula's philosophy that cooking is not about perfection, but about dedication. About thinking with your hands. And about constantly reinventing yourself - with a smile, with flour on your hands and with an appetite for life.
Between hearth and heart
Paula's personal stories are particularly touching. How she sorely missed eating together during her time in Colombia. Or how she learned that mistakes are part of learning - in cooking as in life. She calls it beginner's mind. And this runs like a common thread through the book. The design is high quality, the pictures atmospheric and honest at the same time. Not glossy, but real life - just like Paula herself.
Our conclusion
“Endlich kochen” is a cookbook for gourmets, for those seeking meaning and for anyone who believes that food is more than just a source of nutrients. It invites you to cook, to think - and to zomkemma. A book that you not only read, but feel. And which perhaps provides the most beautiful ingredient of all: the desire to finally cook (again).
