Book tip of the week: Cooking at last

Paula Bründl whets the appetite for life

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.
