Sidekick by Sorted Food

Consistency in how the packs and recipes are viewed is lacking, resulting in a bit of clicking around to find things. Also, being able to sort packs by name would be wonderful. The feature that would make me go from four stars to five would be a field for me to add recipe notes, like "Use half the amount of wine," "add salt," etc. That would be a complete win!

AMAZING. Such a good idea. And so much better than other meal plan subscriptions because you don’t have all the waste and packaging, and you don’t have to get more ingredients if you already have them. You can even swap out brands, ingredients, etc. Love it and highly recommend their YouTube channel too.

I’ve used this app for around 3 weeks now and have been having an issue where my meal packs for the week keep disappearing and i have to re add them each time i open the app. Other than this its been amazing and helped me save money

Hey guys. Love the app. Follow you guys on YouTube and love the content. Just got the app and been picking my recipes for the week. You guys don’t have an option to say “I don’t need a recipe that day” so you could add a button which says “I’m SORTED tonight” just cause hey, why not, free plug for yourself haha. Keep it up and can’t wait to see how tasty these recipes are Cheers, Tim from New Zealand

Awesome recipes, love the food and the one shop per week when shopping for one person (the 2 person meals give me 2 dinners and 2 lunches) Unfortunately I’ve had to unsubscribe twice and then re-subscribe twice now to actually be allowed to look at the recipes. Really frustrating, gonna stop using it if it does it again

I’ve been watching these guys on YouTube for a while, and now my other half who normally cooks is out doing other things, it’s been up to me to cook a lot of the time so I took a shot at this. I’ll be keeping my subscription that’s for sure! Every week a new set of menus come out - usually 2 meat/fish and 2 veggie. As a veggie, this is great, and the recipes I think even meat eaters might want to try! Much like Audible, you get a credit every week you exchange for a “pack” that you keep and can use any time. The packs contain lists of all the ingredients you need to pick up at the shop which has brought our shopping list down (tip for Kiwis though, half the number of spring onions asked for as NZ spring onions are huge compared to UK ones). The menus are pretty seasonal which is great, there’s been two instances where I can’t buy an ingredient here in NZ (chestnuts and harissa paste) but in those circumstances chose another pack or substituted for something else. The instructions are all narrated, and timers are set and ready for you to hit Start, and once done will tell you what to do next. With the way the recipes are laid out, you’re not panicking to get on to the next step. In fact, sometimes they get you to clean up along the way! There have been a couple of hiccups though - one time it told me to “clean the large pan from earlier” despite me not even touching a pan, and another time the timer gave an instruction for another recipe. Not the end of the world though. A couple of suggestions though, it’d be great if I can provide feedback on individual recipes (to point out the occasional error), and there’s the “bonus” packs that appear monthly, but if I exchange a credit on one of those packs I miss out on the weekly one so I’m not inclined to get them. Great app, great recipes!

We love sidekick. It’s saved us money due to lack of waste (ingenious recipe design), expanded our horizons in terms of ingredients and variety, and it’s fun. Me and my other half both have it on our phones, there is a shared subscription which meal plans,shopping lists etc. are shared. And the end results are terrific - we’ve cooked 245 recipes and 24 packs (apparently) and can count the number we didn’t like/wouldn’t repeat on one hand. Thank you to all the team at Sorted.

Really loving the app so far. Of the 7 recipes I’ve cooked all 7 I’d cook again (with some minor variance) Love the step by step guidance and for those of us that are fans can feel like we are part of the sorted kitchen which is nice. The search functionality is okay but could be a bit better and an improvement here would likely make this a 5 star app, the ability to search by more exclude more etc . I’d also love to be able to group recipes by ingredients meaning- if I’ve got a recipe that’s using beef mince I can see recipes that use the same ingredients to insure less food waste. Overall a really good app with a yearly subscription that is a bit to high for me to comfortably recommend to friends and family with out a sale. Here’s hoping for another Black Friday sale on the subscription next year

I like how much variety there is in recipes and look forward to making my first dish, however from my first use I can already tell there is an issue with filtering options. While the app is great at recognising food intolerances or preferences etc, it seems impossible to search for dishes by equipment. Many of the dishes I’m being suggested or seeing require stoves or ovens, which I don’t have, but I don’t see information on how to adjust the recipe for different equipment (eg an airfryer or slow cooker ), nor can I filter the search engine or Home Screen by equipment. As such, it’s very hard to find dishes that I will be able to make without having to guess how to do it, which was what I was trying to avoid in the first place. I think fixing this gap could be a very easy and useful update to the app and I really hope they implement it.

It’s a incredibly well designed app but I sadly had to unsubscribe and delete as they don’t include any calories in the dishes. I have to carefully track calories and fat content in my food and having to do it myself for each dish is really time consuming and frustrating when it ends up being too high for me to eat. Hope there’s an option for this soon and I’ll be back!
