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

First time user, Falafel dinner!
This is my first time using Appetise for a full week. So far so good. Have enjoyed the recipe for falafel as a nice easy starter.
Looking forward to getting into more recipes 😋

This such an awesome website.
Super user friendly. I can menu plan ahead and choose from so many recipes which makes changing up what I cook and we eat so much more interesting.
It is so easy to use, and now I can menu plan ahead of time so I can order seamlessly with my local Pak N Save online getting a time slot / pick up time much easier because I am now more organised with this amazing FREE website.
Can not thank the Appetise team enough for providing this website. I am less stressed about meal planning, our budget is better and I am happier cooking!
THANK YOU!!!!

Love it
Love it. We use this site faithfully. Love that the site is kiwi. Huge variety and we have loved them all so far. Biggest issue is wanting to keep our favs in rotation but keep trying new ones! We tried dumplings for the first time due to your site and they are now a big hit regular.

I don’t know what happened??
I don’t know what happened??! Menu aid was an awesome tool for meal planning and shopping.
I used it to compile my weeks meals and used the notes to say which nights we were having takeout or a recipe from another website so family know what we’re having.
Taking away the days of week and ability to add notes to meal plan has ruined this for us.
The day of the change our whole weeks list disappeared and I’m left with food I don’t know what meal it’s for.
Also- the recipes seem to have changed. I can’t find most of the recipes we used before.

Great help…
Menuaid/appetise has been a great help with deciding on what to make for dinner while sticking within a budget and making delicious meals.
I have had so much fun and will continue you use the website, tho I do wish we could access the shopping list without making a plan.

SUCH a great tool
SUCH a great tool. Incredibly useful for expanding your own repertoire, and those weeks you just can’t think of a single dinner idea. All the convenience of a mealkit service without the delivery and ridiculous prices!! Will be recommending to all my friends and whanau.

MenuAid was so easy to use
MenuAid was so easy to use. The whole family have marked our favourites and are ready to start cooking. The first recipe was easy to follow and was very yummy. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s dinner.

Such a great way yo save time and keep myself organized.
I can create a meal plan create a shopping list and then get it ordered from the supermarket all using the menuaid!
I love that I can search the recipes by ingredient, this is great for helping me to save on food waste!

Awesome Shayla! Thanks for the kind words.
So Easy!!!!
I put in ingredients i wanted to use and a recipe appeared like magic. It was easy to make and tasted amazing. I don’t really enjoy cooking but liked this idea as I had control over what i used. I am loving it.

I love the way this company has structured these meals. A lot of thought had gone into them and I was excited and confident to have a go at cooking these meals. I am a solo dad with four kids of differing ages and these went down perfect, perhaps for the chiu chow chilli oil which I totally loved, not so much 3 of the kids but I believe you need to try new foods in order to appreciate them. Thank you for the opportunity to try these delicious meals 😀

Because this is a NZ site I think the dishes are more tailored to ingredients that we would commonly get in NZ rather than 'exotic' or imported ingredients. Also great for developing meal plans and creating grocery lists.
