Great idea but the website is hard to navigate at the moment. The “planner” should be at the top with the recipes to choose from underneath. Dragging and dropping them into the calendar doesn’t always... See more

It's a really helpful

It's a really helpful, really easy to use website. Great recipes that are exactly what they say they are. Easy to make, delicious meals.
Only suggestion would be to have a calendar view where you could assign a meal across a week or fortnight and plan that period of time. Otherwise, brilliant and I'll definitely keep using it.

Thanks so much! Love that you're finding the recipes easy and delicious 🙌 Great news, we do have a calendar view in Cook Mode where you can assign meals across the week. Give it a go next time you're planning and reach out if you need help finding it :)

Eating healthy saving money seasonal …

Took a minute to work things out and not sure I’m using everything efficiently. Might be good to have a link to a wee tutorial ??? Still working on best way to search for things. But loving the filters and trying new things . Love the way it creates a shopping list it didn’t transfer perfectly to either PAK’nSAVE or countdown but only took a minute to work through and would do that anyway to check ingredients. Haven’t tried working from shopping list in store yet. Love the ability to save recipes to a day in my calendar game changer for me also able to write a note to take stuff out of freezer day before etc which I love. The recipes are easy to follow and the freeze button makes cooking from the net so much better . Also have been able to save recipe links to my weight watchers app which is FANTASTIC .

Thanks heaps for the awesome feedback! Glad you're enjoying the filters, calendar saving, and especially the freeze button!

Great tip about adding a quick tutorial link, we'll definitely look into it. We're also keen to make shopping lists smoother for Countdown and PAK’nSAVE, so your feedback is super helpful.

Keep exploring, and let us know how you get on shopping in-store. Love that you're pairing recipes with your Weight Watchers app too—such a clever use!

Happy cooking! 🍽✨

Reducing waste…

It is a good tool and I will keep using it. It would be great though if it could take what you already chosen in the plan into account somehow when offering you next options in order to reduce waste. While I know how to do this, lots and lots of people don’t. For example, the recipe I used today called for half a tin of 2 types of beans. If I didn’t know to then choose another bean recipe for the week I would have waste.

No more ‘What’s for dinner tonight’ 🤩

I just love the simplicity of it. Being able to allocate meals to days is fantastic, I just flick hubby the recipe some days and everything is there ready for him. It’s also making my days feel lighter not having to think about ‘what’s for dinner tonight’ 🤯
Every recipe we have had has tasted amazing 🤩 we now have a lot of favourites ❣️ I am recommending it to everyone I know 👌🏼

Tasty recipes and auto shopping list

I’ve found a good amount of tasty recipes on Appetise and the shopping list function is excellent. I like the experience much more than waiting for a meal kit box to be delivered from other companies.

One of my work colleagues told me about…

One of my work colleagues told me about this site. As I have recently changed my diet for medical reasons, I was searching more than "meat and three vegies" cooking.
Appetise is terrific! I work out what I want to cook during my lunch break; create a QR code and save it as a favourite on phone, call in at Woolworths to buy what I need on the way home, and transmit my music while following the recipe to cook the food - ALL FROM MY PHONE!

Easy and Yummy Food

The recipes I've tried have all been so easy without the need to buy one off ingredients. Love the vegetarian range even though I'm not a vegetarian. I've always enjoyed trying new recipes but as I get older I'd rather make simpler but very tasty recipes. Love the ease of use and that I can easily find recipes I've made before.

Important for our family

We get the kids involved and can pre plan our meals for week. We tend to do this on a Sunday and then do the shopping - the easily printed shopping list is incredibly handy.What a great tool for our family! thank you Appetise

So far so good, I'm liking this new site

So far so good. I add a fliter when choosing recipes as I like to eat a protein-centric and low carb diet.
It's early days but this seems a fairly seemless process.
It would be great to have a "in season" filter or menu based on current specials...
