When Food Brings Back Memories
I am Mara Rodrigues, the creator of CucaChef. I love cooking and turning simple ingredients into colorful, flavorful dishes. I believe that food is one of the most beautiful ways to create memories and connect with people. Here you will find recipes from many parts of the world with Brazilian and Mediterranean inspiration, so that anyone can cook, feel inspired, and create special moments around the table.
Why CucaChef Exists
CucaChef was born in 2017 from a desire to bring together two passions: cooking and creating. What started as simple videos on social media has grown into a brand known for sharing easy recipes, inspiring photos, and flavors that feel like home.
Behind the project it is me, Mara Rodrigues, bringing each recipe to life, and Paulo Sampaio, who takes care of the visuals and content management. Together, we look after every detail so that what reaches you feels authentic, simple, and heartfelt. In this way, every piece of content reflects the love and dedication we put into CucaChef every day.
Over the years, we have learned that cooking well does not have to be complicated. On the contrary, we believe that great food comes from the right mix of flavor and affection. For this reason, our goal is to create simple, accessible, and flavorful recipes that turn everyday moments into something special. After all, every dish has a story to tell.
At CucaChef, cooking is simple, fun, and full of moments that turn into lasting memories.
