About Paula & Katharina
Together, we have over 15 years of experience in the areas of nutrition, women's health, and child development. Our journey includes a broad foundation of in-depth studies, training, and specialized continuing education, as well as intensive scientific research and practical work with families at various stages of life.
Through our clear specialization in fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and complementary feeding, we are now among the leading experts – both nationally and internationally.
Our knowledge is based not only on theory but also on years of practical application. That is precisely why our books are so practical, understandable, and suitable for everyday life.
In the extensive bibliography and list of references at the end of our books, you will find numerous scientific studies as well as an overview of selected training and continuing education programs that we have completed ourselves or highly recommend.
Questions about our books
If you're completely new to traditional eating, Nourished Through the Seasons is the perfect introduction. It forms the basis of all our work – real food, traditional preparation methods, and seasonal family recipes for the whole year. This book is our foundation and belongs in every kitchen.
If you're trying to conceive, are pregnant, postpartum, or breastfeeding, Nourished Mama is your most important companion. It delves into everything women truly need during these sensitive life stages: nutritional knowledge, holistic perspectives and approaches to common ailments, hormonal connections, regeneration, breastfeeding-friendly nutrition, and over 100 nutrient-rich recipes – but also incredibly valuable for other life stages.
Nourished Baby is the next installment: a comprehensive guide to complementary feeding, gut building, allergen introduction, toddler nutrition, and a large chapter on natural home remedies. Plus many simple family recipes that babies and toddlers can also eat. If you love the first two books, this one is a valuable addition.
All three books contain their own unique recipes – apart from a few basic recipes like broths, there are no repetitions. This creates a continuously building series with maximum added value.
All books are suitable for the whole family.
Our books combine profound nutritional and health knowledge with practical recipes for everyday life. They are like a compact online course + cookbook in one – focusing on traditional, nutrient-rich nutrition, gut health, and family-friendly implementation.
Our books are not classic cookbooks, but comprehensive works of knowledge that are more akin to a high-quality online course in terms of content. They combine over 15 years of expert knowledge, study, and practical experience – with a depth and clarity that cannot be found bundled anywhere else. With well over 100 recipes, some up to 600 pages long, and sound nutritional knowledge, they accompany families often for many years.
We deliberately produce in small print runs at a family-owned printing house in Bavaria. This allows us to ensure the highest quality, fair working conditions, and sustainable materials. At the same time, we avoid large publishers and intermediaries to remain independent and not have to compromise on content or production.
The price therefore reflects not only the high-quality production but also the enormous amount of knowledge and added value contained in each book. Our customers report that the investment has paid for itself many times over in a short period – because the books become a valuable, daily companion for the entire family.
No – quite the opposite. While Nourished Baby is a comprehensive guide to complementary feeding and toddler nutrition, its content goes far beyond that. The recipes are deliberately developed to be suitable for older children and the whole family – for shared meals right from the start.
The book also contains valuable basics on gut health, which can also be wonderfully applied to adults. As in all our books, the focus is on nutrient-rich, easily digestible, and practical nutrition – which is why it is universally applicable.
In addition, you'll find an entire chapter on a natural herbal home pharmacy that is helpful for every family – regardless of the child's age.
Yes. The recipes were developed to use few, high-quality ingredients and be easy to succeed with. Our readers cook from them several times a week because they are uncomplicated, delicious, and family-friendly.
Yes. On each product page, you'll find a PDF preview with the first few pages, so you can get an idea of the content, style, and design.
Our nutritional philosophy is not based on a plant-based diet – primarily because animal foods play a crucial role in sensitive life phases such as trying to conceive, pregnancy, the postpartum period, and complementary feeding. They provide nutrients in a form and quantity that is often difficult or impossible to achieve with plant-based foods alone.
However, we understand very well that some families live vegetarian – we ourselves were in this situation for a long time. That's precisely why our books are structured in such a way that they can still support you optimally.
You will receive well-founded knowledge that will help you to consciously and nutritiously plan your diet, and many recipes can be flexibly adapted so that you can prepare them according to your preferences.
Even though we consider animal foods to be central, you will find numerous vegetarian dishes, nutrient-rich basics, many options for individual modification – and above all: real added value for your health and that of your family.

Access is for you alone – redistribution or reproduction is not permitted, so that we can continue to make our work and fair production possible.
No – our books are exclusively available through our own online shop.
This is a very deliberate decision.
The production of our books is high-quality and very costly. Through large platforms like Amazon or traditional booksellers, we would have to pay high fees and margins – at the expense of quality, fair pay, and the development of new projects.
Through direct sales, we can:
- ensure fair prices and fair pay for everyone involved
- guarantee the highest quality in content, design, and production
- remain independent and develop new projects for you
- maintain personal interaction with our community
- personally oversee, pack, and ship each book
A few selected small shops carry our books – but not regular booksellers.
