Great tool overall for trying new recipes, limiting food waste, and improving confidence with cooking. The portion sizes are often a bit off. Sometimes we end up with tons of leftovers and other times we just have enough for one meal. They are constantly adding new recipes, so I'm hoping to see them eventually work with a dietician to get some better-balanced meals available. The meat-focused recipes are often missing veggies, and the vegetarian recipes are usually too low in protein.

We've been using Sidekick for about 2 months now, and we love it! Coming from someone who has decent experience as a home cook, the recipes are easy to follow and plan out. Most of the recipes are quick as well, so cooking meals during the workweek isn't a hassle, and it has actually been easier to make dinners over reaching for takeout. I also really appreciate that the portioning is pretty accurate, which can be difficult when you're cooking for just 2 people. Overall, we definitely recommend!

I love how accessible the app is, and the amount of love and time the team puts in it really shows. I'd give it five stars, but I've found one issue that has been bothering me for a couple weeks. I have to prep meals ahead of time given my third shift schedule, and a lot of the meals and foods I've tried don't reheat properly. Don't get me wrong, I have found some that worked well! I just wish there were more, or a way to search for meal-prep friendly meals if I've missed them.
