Sidekick by Sorted Food

I really enjoy this! I love the automatic timers and the fact that the amount of each ingredient is repeated in each step. I seem to be a bit slower than most of the recipes suggest it should take. The ability to add more than one timer in app would be great, since different steps often need different timers and I need to go out of the app to do that.

This truly takes the nightmare of what to cook every flipping night away, plus totally saves on your food bill by cutting out waste! Equally, if you want to go by the recipe as opposed to the pack, you can. Great advice all around!

I love to cook but with a busy lifestyle I don’t always have time. The sidekick app allows me to easily pre-plan and the handy shopping list makes sure that when I want to start cooking I have everything. Easy recipes with great flavor 👌

I’m enjoying the app free trial. Because the idea is no waste, the meals in the pack are similar- eg all 3 recipes might be pork. This can get a bit monotonous so I recommend choosing two completely different styles of packs for the week and alternating which pack you cook from each night for variety. The meal pack choices page is initially confusing to navigate, it appears there are very limited plans until you click on ‘Need more help finding a meal pack’?, that brings up all the options. Note that even if you only schedule 2 of the 3 meals in the plan into your week, the shopping list contains ingredients for the whole pack, despite you not scheduling all 3 meals. Other than that, the shopping list functionality is useful. You can strike off items you already have and then click a button to copy remaining items to add to your regular shopping list. Recipes are well described and simple. I like following the narrations rather than reading. It sets timers for you if a step is time related , eg boil for 10 minutes. I find many of the recipe packs are Asian inspired and so many of the meals contain coriander , so you might have to substitute if you are not a coriander fan. Another nice feature is typing in what ingredient/s you have in your fridge and it sends you recipe ideas to use them up. I am seriously considering buying the app.

Recipes are easy to follow, the Shopping List works out fairly cheap, and the meals are very tasty, even my kids love it.

Every time I try to open the up it initiates an update that fails after a couple of seconds. I am unable to use the app.

I love this app. The recipes are fantastic and it’s great to have the stress of meal planning handled by someone else. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys cooking and convenience.

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!
