FAQ

Absolutely. All of our recipes, past and present, are available in our recipe library. We currently have 2,000+ fresh, delicious and seasonal meals to pick from and spark your inspiration, and we’re pretty proud of that.

Yes, you can! Calories, carbohydrates (and sugars), fats and proteins are now available on all of our recipes. Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is an estimate based on industry averages of the ingredients. The values may change based on different brands used, ingredients changed, or added in different amounts.

Being able to select your own ingredients and scale our recipes up, down, or completely recreate them, means that you can fit portion sizes, calories or macros to your targets. If you’re looking to up your protein, or on a weight-loss plan and wanting to cut down on calories, we have recipes for it all. And, if you need an extra helping hand, our team of expert chefs and nutritionists are always happy to help. Chuck us an email at hello@appetise.io.

With the flexibility of our recipes, you can add, remove or change to fit your diet - especially for keto. Our recipes commonly use a single, staple form of carbohydrate (such as rice), making it easy for you to identify and change for a carb-free alternative.

We have a range of recipes, catering for dietaries such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, Keto/low carb, pescatarian, low calorie, and high protein. Any recipes we use which may conflict with dietary requirements are clearly labelled, allowing you to switch them out for something suitable to you.

We do indeed! You can find several recipes for delicious breakfasts, sweet treats, and other special recipes such as BBQ, Christmas and more!

Nope we don’t. We’re Appetise - your friendly recipe discovery & smart shopping platform. Unlike meal kits like HelloFresh and My Food Bag, we let you shop the brands and stores you love, instead of providing pre-packaged and inflexible ingredients.

Not at the moment - but we’re working on it. Once we have any update on an app we'll let you know!

You can review each recipe individually right on the recipe page by hitting “I cooked it!”, or please contact us at hello@appetise.io with any other feedback you have.Your feedback is invaluable to us. We’ll use it to make sure our recipes are continually improving and always to your liking.You can also always leave us a review on TrustPilot.

All of our recipes are designed to be simple and straightforward, perfect for beginner cooks. Each recipe comes with detailed recipe cards to follow step-by-step. Or, for the more confident cooks, ignore the steps completely and recreate everything to fit your tastes (we won’t mind!).

Once you’ve got your recipes covered, you can create an automatic shopping list of all of the ingredients you need in the correct amounts. You then have a few options for shopping: we can connect your list directly with any major supermarket to get online groceries delivered straight to your door. Or, shop locally in store, with your butchers or at the farmer's market.

Our average cook time is around 30-40 minutes for each recipe, but can differ depending on what you decide to cook. If you’re looking for quick 15-20 minute week-night meals, or aiming to impress with something a bit fancier, we’ve got it all.

You can select to portion for 2, 4 or 6 servings on all of our recipes, ensuring you have the correct amounts and nothing goes to waste. But, as you’re grabbing the ingredients yourself, you can scale this up or down to suit you, whether you’re cooking for one or feeding the 5,000 (we’d probably not recommend the latter, though).

Each recipe costs, on average, around $5-6 per portion, but will differ between different recipes. Part of the beauty of Appetise is you choose your own ingredients, so you get to decide! We give you the flexibility to shop for your favourite brands, local stores, or in sales, which can drastically reduce your costs.

Appetise is completely free! No card required, no ads, and no catches.


Yes! On average, each Appetise meal portion is around 25% cheaper than meal kit alternatives, and up to 50% cheaper than typical kits, such as My Food Bag. Appetise meal plans can be moulded to fit any budget by picking the ingredients affordable for you, using what you may already have, or shopping in-season.

Unfortunately this may happen from time-to-time. The best thing to do would be to try again a day or two later (if it’s not urgently needed), or pop down to your local store. If the missing ingredient is something uncommon or harder to find, please get in contact and we’ll be happy to suggest a replacement!

We like to keep things simple, so we’ll do our best to limit what you need to the basics. If you’ve got a pan, knife and something to stir/flip with - you’re pretty much all set.

We’re glad you asked. Meal planning is a tool which should be in everyone's arsenal, allowing you to save yourself time, money and stress on deciding your weekly meals, easily shop for the ingredients you need, reduce waste, and be more sustainable. (And that’s only a few of the benefits).

You can instantly shop with Woolworths in Australia, and with the big three supermarkets in NZ - Woolworths, PAK'nSAVE and New World. We’re also continually working with several supermarkets, retailers and other brands to provide seamless shopping integrations covering multiple options. If you have a preferred retailer you’d like to see us work with, please let us know by contacting us at hello@appetise.io.
