★ Quick Answers ★

Yes, you're going to ask this.

I already have too many recipes saved. Why this?

Because saving recipes isn't the problem — deciding at 5:27 PM is. Mama's Manual decides for you. Open page 1, cook recipe 1. Day 2, recipe 2. No app, no algorithm, no Pinterest spiral.

My kid won't eat any of this.

The Bundle includes a Picky-Eater Toolkit with 12 KID SAYS / YOU SAY scripts ("eww green!" → "that's hulk power!"). Plus, every Core recipe has a kid-helper step so they're invested before they sit down.

Is this a physical book?

Instant PDF download. Save to your phone, print just the recipe you need, or pop the whole thing in a binder. No shipping, no waiting, no stuff piling up in your kitchen.

Why are prices in CHF?

Prices auto-convert to your local currency based on your country. Use the currency switcher in the top menu to change it manually.

What if I'm vegetarian / dairy-free / gluten-free?

Each of the 30 dinners has a swap line ("→ sub black beans for chicken"). About 10 are naturally veg, 6 are naturally GF. You'll find your week.

Can I share with my partner / co-parent?

Yes — one purchase, your whole household. Print two copies, AirDrop the PDF, stick it on the fridge. We trust you.

★ Last Thing ★

Stop choosing dinner.
Start cooking it.

Tomorrow at 5:30 PM, the kids will still be loud and the fridge will still look the same. The only thing that changes is whether you have a plan.
