Plan a little,
save a lot.
Start meal planning to save time, save money and put the fun back into food.
What is Meal Planning?
It’s the art of planning our meals for the week, usually around a particular goal, and helps us all to break down the barriers to food freedom.
Plan once and plan right
A couple of minutes meal planning can save you hours each week.
Spend less on groceries
Shop only what you need, compare grocery prices, avoid unneeded spending.
Reduce food waste
Use up all the food you purchase, which also helps reduce your grocery bill.

Who should meal plan?
Simply put: everyone.
Meal planning isn’t one-size-fits-all. It can be used to plan each and every aspect of our diet, or just the odd meal each week to use up leftover ingredients.
Meal planning is made to work for you.
The recipes have been a hit with the whole family, so tasty and so easy to prepare that anyone can give it a go!

Appetise is completely free! No card required, no ads, and no catches.
Is Appetise cheaper than meal kits?

Why is meal planning important?
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).
Can I see the nutritional values on Appetise recipes?
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.
How difficult are Appetise recipes?
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!).
How long do Appetise recipes take to cook?
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.
Do you cater for all dietary requirements?
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.
