QuiteLike Meal Kit Review

The good:

The not so good:

What is QuiteLike?

QuiteLike is the meal kit for food lovers, providing recipes that make cooking exciting and stress-free. QuiteLike offers meal solutions for real life aiming to make cooking enjoyable with no-fuss recipes, whilst ensuring maximum flavour and options for the whole family.

Recently, QuiteLike rebranded, offering more features and an exciting new menu. I tried QuiteLike again to see if their meals are still high quality, delicious and good value for money.

How does QuiteLike work?

QuiteLike’s updated website is fantastic – it’s interactive, colourful and exciting, just like their recipes. They have now made it even easier to select your plan and recipes, with great discounts off your first box.

New Menu (July 2024)

QuiteLike has updated their menu with exciting new gourmet recipes to choose from. Each week you can choose from 30 recipes with a new category of recipes that can be cooked in 30 minutes. With most of their meals taking at least 45 minutes to prepare, this new addition of ‘fast’ recipes is great for those looking for convenience. QuiteLike have also introduced a filter function on their menu, allowing you to filter the recipes by protein, cooking time and dietary requirement including vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and meat free. This was something I wanted to see added to QuiteLike’s menu and now makes finding the right recipes for you, even easier.

You can select from 2 or 4 servings and 2, 3 or 4 recipes per week. I previously noted that more servings and recipes (5+) would be great to see to provide more options for large families. This is something competitor Marley Spoon does well, offering up to 6 recipes per week. QuiteLike has also added the option to make your box vegetarian which is a great new feature. 

As mentioned, you can now filter the menu by protein, cooking time and dietary requirements. Unfortunately, you are still unable to customise individual recipes by adding or omitting ingredients, however each recipe clearly outlines the ingredients and allergens so you can decide which recipe is best for you. Competitors Marley Spoon and Hello Fresh have more recipes to choose from, offering 50+ recipes each week, along with better customisation. If you are looking for more variety, I would recommend these services over QuiteLike. 

Last time I used QuiteLike there were 6 vegetarian and pescatarian options for me to choose from. Their updated menu at the time of this review (July 2024) provided 4 vegetarian options and 5 pescatarian options which is an improvement upon last time. Each recipe looked delicious! I could have chosen every option on the menu, from burgers to curries, Italian to Japanese cuisines, QuiteLike’s menu is sure to have something for any food lover.

Flybuys Rewards:

QuiteLike has now partnered with Flybuys so you can be rewarded. Every $1 you spend with QuiteLike scores you 1 Flybuys point.

Recipe Card Tips & Facts:

QuiteLike’s recipe cards were a standout feature from my first review, however now the recipes cards have been levelled up to include tips and tricks on cooking techniques, suggestions for leftovers and nutrition facts. I love the addition of these tips and facts as it makes the cooking process even more enjoyable and helpful. 

Sustainability:

I noted in my first review that the packaging was recyclable, however there was no information online about QuiteLike’s sustainability practices. Now, QuiteLike has a page on their website dedicated to sustainability. Their boxes are 100% recyclable and made from approximately 52% recycled cardboard content. They also have new 100% recyclable thermal pouches to keep chill the fridge items. QuiteLike also donates any leftovers to SecondBite, helping to fight hunger in Australia.

How much does QuiteLike cost?

QuiteLike has increased their meal plan prices since 2023. Previously their 2 meals, 2 serves plan was $12.00 per serving, this has now increased to $17.99 per serve. Their best value meal plan (4 meals, 4 serves) is now $10.74 per serve. I was previously really impressed with QuiteLike’s price point as a premium meal kit service, however their recent increase in cost makes their meal kits less accessible. Competitor HelloFresh is now cheaper than QuiteLike, with plans for 2 people, 4 meals costing only $100.00, including shipping. Whilst you can get a good discount off your first box with QuiteLike, if you are looking for a more affordable meal kit, HelloFresh is a good option.

My QuiteLike Experience

I selected 4 meals for 2 people and chose the following recipes:

  • Vegan Sesame Mushroom Ramen
  • Spicey Oven Roasted Thai Fish Curry
  • Eggplant Parmigiana
  • Fried Halloumi Burger with Pear and Rocket Salad

Upon arrival, my box was well packed and included 4 recipe bags, 4 recipe cards, a tips sheet and cooler bag. The tips sheet is a fun new addition that provides a checklist for your required pantry essentials, tips for washing and storing the herbs and vegetables, and information on the Flybuys rewards. I love how QuiteLike make it easy to ensure you have a seamless experience when cooking. 

Each recipe bag was clearly labelled with the recipe name a QR code that takes you straight to the digital recipe. I loved the recipe cards the first time and I was equally impressed with their updated cards. The front of the cards contains the recipe name, total cooking time, and the back of the recipe cards provide a list of supplied ingredients, pantry ingredients, cooking equipment, simple step by step instructions, allergens, along with a breakdown of the macronutrients, sodium, energy and calories per serving. I love the new ‘Quite Cool’ cooler bag, all the ingredients were kept nice and cold inside. 

All the fresh produce was in good condition, with limited blemished. Upon unpacking the ingredients for the Eggplant Parmigiana I noticed I was missing the grated parmesan; however, I do not feel that this effected the end result. 

Cooking the meals

The 6 step recipes are easy to follow thanks to the clear instructions. The recipes I chose ranged from a cook time of 30 minutes to 45 minutes. The new 30-minute recipes were quick to prepare and are an option I would reach for if you are time poor. Whilst 45 minutes is a longer time to prepare a meal, the process was stress-free thanks to the clear instructions.

Some of the recipes provide larger qualities of the ingredient than is required in the recipe. For example, I was supplied with 50g of the red curry paste for the Spicy Oven-Roasted Thai Fish Curry, yet only needed 25g for the recipe. I would prefer to receive the exact amounts to reduce waste, however if you are cooking regularly, the extra paste could be frozen for use at another time. I still used the entire pouch as my partner loves spice!

Portions

The serving sizes were excellent, plenty for 2 people. Even though the Fried Haloumi Burger was meant to serve 2 people using only 2 burger buns, the recipe supplied 4 buns. Between my partner and I, we managed to get 3 servings out of the recipe as I was supplied with ample amounts of haloumi.

Meals I loved

There was not a meal that I didn’t enjoy. The flavours of QuiteLike’s meals are a standout feature – each meal is restaurant quality, bursting with flavour and freshness.

If I had to choose one favourite, it would be the Eggplant Parmigiana – the eggplants were cooked to perfection and the combination of the cherry tomatoes with the fresh basil made for an exceptional meal. A close second would be the Fried Halloumi Burger with Pear and Rocket Salad – the dill and capers in the aioli levelled the meal up and the slightly pickled eschalots added so much flavour!

QuiteLike Nutritionist Review

The average protein content of the meals was 29.02g with the Vegan Sesame Mushroom Ramen containing the least at 22g of protein. This is a great amount of protein, particularly for vegetarian options. The sources of proteins were also good quality including tofu and halloumi. The Spicy Oven-Roasted Thai Fish Curry contained the most protein at 34.7g per serve. 

The average carbohydrate content across the meals was 54.8g. The sources of carbohydrates in my recipes were high-GI and low fibre including white rice, white bread and noodles. To increase the fibre content of the meals, it would be great to see some wholegrain/wholemeal sources of carbohydrates used instead. On the topic of fibre, the nutritional information provided by QuiteLike does not include dietary fibre per serve. Fibre is an extremely important nutrient that we should all be consuming daily to reach our fibre targets – 30g/day for men and 25g/day for women. I would love to see this added to the nutritional information in the future.

The average fat content across the meals was 35.2g, with an average saturated fat content of 8.9g. The Spicy Oven-Roasted Thai Fish Curry and Eggplant Parmigiana contained the highest amounts of saturated fat due to the use of mozzarella cheese and coconut milk. These ingredients should be consumed in smaller amounts for optimal heart health. Other sources of fats used included olive oil, sesame seeds and vegetable oil. It would be great to see an increased focus on mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated sources of fats (nuts and seeds) in the recipes to boost their nutritional profiles. 

Like last time, the vegetable content of the meals was excellent. Each recipe included at least 3 different types of vegetables as well as a variety of herbs and spices. Variety is very important when it comes to promoting gut health.

The sodium content of the meals was good, with the Spicy Oven-Roasted Thai Fish Curry, Eggplant Parmigiana and Fried Halloumi Burger all coming in under 1000mg per serve. However, the Vegan Sesame Mushroom Ramen contained 2006.9mg of sodium which is very high. Our Suggested Dietary Target for sodium is 2000mg/day so this meal meets this target in one serve! If you are looking to reduce your sodium intake, pay extra attention to the sodium content when selecting your recipes.
