A cook in your kitchen, every week

Imagine a personal chef arriving on the day you picked and taking over your kitchen while you lie down. Meals, desserts, snacks you can eat one-handed, and the warm infusions you’ll want at 3am. She leaves herbs by the tub so you can run yourself a bath while she cooks, and everything goes into your fridge labelled and ready. Every Pura Mama cook holds a Safe Food Handling certificate.

Reheating notesWhat is in the freezer and how to warm it, in your app

From $349A visit, plus your groceries on your own account

Your restrictions are set once, and carried everywhere

They live in one place and reach every surface: your plan, your grocery list, your cook's checklist, a kitchen's production sheet.

  1. Set once, in the appRestrictions filter the recipe library before a plan is generated, so banned foods never reach your week.
  2. Carried onto the orderThe grocery list and your cook's checklist are built from the same flags.
  3. Substitutions get checkedWhen a store swaps an item, your cook checks the substitute against your restrictions before cooking it.

Most chef services handle allergies as a note on the booking.

Three small things, every visit

The 3am stash

A week of one-handed snacks, left by the feeding chair for the hours when nobody else is awake.

A cafecito before she goes

She sits down with you for ten minutes and asks how your week went.

A thermos that stays warm

Filled before she leaves and within reach all day. Confinement nannies have done this for centuries.

Your check-ins shape what she brings and does that week. She sees what would help, never what you wrote.

Before you book

Which cities can a cook come to?

Calgary and Miami. Elsewhere, the app is free and partner kitchens deliver where they operate. Tell us your city and we will let you know when a cook is working near you.

What does $349 per visit include?

The visit itself: cooking your week's plan, checking every delivered ingredient against your restrictions, then labelling, portioning and storing the food with reheating notes in your app. Groceries are separate and charged to your own account.

Do I have to plan the meals myself?

No. Your plan is generated for the stage you are in and lands as a draft four days before your Cook Day. You can swap anything until the menu locks three days before. If you never open the app, the generated plan is the plan.

What if I have allergies or restrictions?

You set them once in the app. They filter the recipe library before a plan is generated, they follow the grocery order and your cook's checklist, and any item the store substitutes is checked against them before it is cooked.

Can I change my Cook Day?

Yes. You choose it when you book and the rest of the week counts back from it. Write to us and we will move it.

Does my cook read my check-ins?

No. She gets your first name, address, plan and restriction flags. Your check-ins shape what she brings, but she does not see them.
