The Kooky Cook (料理好きの女性, Ryōrizuki no Josei, lit. "Lady Who Likes Cooking") is a cook and acquaintance of Chi-Chi who lives in Keilin Village in the Southeast Mountains Area in Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.

As her moniker would suggest, she is somewhat of a kooky oddball and can often be heard laughing and is quite jovial. She seems to admire both Chi-Chi and Gohan for their strength and insists on rewarding them for saving her and she gives Gohan food in addition to the recipes as she says she'd feel guilty if she gave them anything less. Oddly she rejects help from Piccolo or Vegeta if they are the party leader, apparently preferring she be rescued by Chi-Chi or her son despite the danger she was in though this may be another example of her oddball personality. Though she is good natured and travels long distances to acquire ingredients shoeing dedication, she has a habit of attracting dangerous beasts due to the food she carries. As a result, she tends to be a damsel in distress.

She is apparently a decent cook as she is the source of a few Full-course recipes that Chi-Chi uses implying she too can make full-courses using said recipes provided she has the ingredients to make the single dishes that act as ingredients for the full-course recipes thus requiring her to leaving her village to acquire them. The fact that she continuously has to deal with being attacked while making said trips shows her dedication to her craft.

The Kooky Cook lives in Keilin Village, a small village located in the Southeast Mountains Area of Earth. Due to its rural isolated location, she often has to make shopping trips to Orange City or the farm located down the road from Goku's House. However, the ingredients she carries back home often attract wolves and other wild beasts leading her to being attacked by them. Fortunately, she often gets rescued by the intervention of Goku's wife Chi-Chi who has no trouble handling wild beasts thanks to her martial arts skills. As a result, the two have become friends and she even rewards Chi-Chi with recipes for helping her.

The Kooky Cook is your average female Earthling and is relatively weak to the point even wolves pose a dangerous threat to her (it should be noted that wolves despite being predatory animal will like deer and gazelle flee from the Dragon Team as the only wildlife that will attack them are dinosaurs) due to them being attracted by the ingredients she often carries as she travels back to her village.

However despite her physical weakness she is athletic enough to actually make the journey from her mountain village to either the farm down the road from Goku's House and to Orange City apparently on foot which is difficult for a normal human who lacks the superhuman abilities of the Dragon Team who even without the advantage of flight can still run fast and jump high enough to easily cut down the travel time showing that while she lacks superhuman abilities she is still able to make the long journey by herself (provided she isn't attacked along the way).
