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!

You can tell a lot of time and consideration has gone into this app. It doesn’t matter what culinary level you are at, it has something to benefit everyone in my opinion. I initially started to reduce food waste but found myself spending more time than anticipated due to vast catalog of recipes and the inspiration the app has provided. I’ve started to enjoy cooking again rather than it feeling like a choir.

Me and my partner have watched all the Sorted YouTube vids and decided we had to give it a go and it was amazing! Choosing meal packs and having a full shopping list whilst the actual meals themselves are easy to make and the steps are easy to follow! We got the app because we kept cycling the same meals every two weeks and now we have tried so many dishes that we never would have thought to make and they’re so much simpler than we thought and they taste amazing! Honestly an amazing app and new meal packs are getting added weekly!

I don’t write reviews unless I absolutely love something. This app helped my family to save a lot of money and not to waste food ( I absolutely hate food waste and this is incredible). I live with my parents atm and this app helped us to bond over dinners. I make delicious food with my dad and we surprise mum with new dinner every night. We all work a lot so dinner is a perfect time for us to catch up and sit down for a meal. It also really helps to expand your palette and try new things and stop being scared of some ingredients (things like miso and tahini, used to be single-use items aka miso soup and hummus, but now I restock them every month because we run out) it’s so cool to try new things, have fun, save your money and the planet❤️ thank you all so much for this app, it’s genius

Wouldn’t bother if you’re vegan. First setting I went for was making sure the app knew I was only interested in cooking vegan food and it has only pushed meat and vegetarian dishes. From other reviews it seems to be weirdly expensive too so unless you are absolutely sure you’re going to commit to using the app I’d give it a miss.
