Story

The kingdom of CooKingdom is a place responsible to all the cuisine in multiple worlds. However the kingdom's precious treasure, the Recipe-Bon is stolen by a bunch of phantom thieves named the "Phantom Bundle Gang" whose aim is to monopolize all the cooking of the world for themselves by capturing the Recipepe, small cooking fairies that represent every dish in the world. As a result, three Energy Fairies from the kingdom were sent to the human world in the town of Oishiina Town, where they meet Yui Nagomi and her friends, Kokone Fuwa and Ran Hanamichi. Together they become Pretty Cures in order to stop the Phantom Bundle Gang from capturing all the Recipepe and bring the Recipe-bon back from their clutches.

Through this work, the motto Yui Kazumi cherishes: "Meals bring smiling faces" will surely be an important word for everyone." Toei Animation producer Yasumi Kaori also said that "Warm feelings will surely make you smile. The happiness and joy of "sharing" smiles also opens up new smiles... With that in mind, I chose "gratitude" and "sharing" as the main theme, and "Food" as the center of the story."[29]

The series also marks the debut role for Hana Hishikawa, in which she debuted her voice acting career back in 2020.[30]
