Cherrypick: Plan | Shop | Cook 12+

Hi,

I use this app solely for the meal plan function.
And I recommend to everyone! I was so surprised to find we save over £20 on our weekly shop when using this app in collaboration with Sainsbury’s. We are eating better and trying fresh new things. I had polenta the other week for the best first time which was delish!

Couple of even better if points…

It is sometimes frustrating the more we are using as each week it will suggest the same recipes, would be good if you could list ingredients/ recipes you dislike so it wouldn’t recommend them again.

Also, we find with creating a meal plan for the week, the physical items delivered are very low life which makes it impossible to use all ingredients sometimes. Would be good to have this noted somewhere on the suggestion that potentially will only have 2 days to prepare that specific recipe.

Finally, when buying store cupboard staples, we have ended up accumulating a lot of spices/sauces/ oils/pasta/rice etc. which would be good to use up. I think the recipe suggestions should consider these ingredients that wouldn’t have been completely used up from previous recipes.

Imogen here 👋 Thank you for the review and feedback Paj. These are great suggestions on how we could make Lollipop even better 😃 For your last point I'm happy to say this is possible! You can use our search by ingredient feature to find recipe inspiration based on items and help you use up those odd bits and bobs in the cupboard. Thank you for all your support so far and it's great building Lollipop with you 🍭

We’ve been using Cherrypick for a few months now and LOVE being able to pick from the massive selection of recipes and the app automatically picks the ingredients from your fave supermarket, it even suggests which ingredients you may already have. There’s been some really thoughtful work that’s gone into this app and it’s made this weekly task much more enjoyable. I’ve always thought food delivery was a luxury but I’ve noticed that we have so much less food waste now that we’re actually buying food based on specific recipes (and the app works out how many items/packs you need based on how many portions you want!) rather than having to sit down to make a food plan and then go and traipse round finding everything in the supermarket. It’s the first time as a couple we’ve really been able to share the task as we both login on our phones and pick recipes and add items through the week and then place the order when we’re ready. For busy couples and families, it’s a time saver and a joy to use too. Thank you Cherrypick - beautifully designed app that really is making a difference to our everyday.

Thank you so much Sarah, we are only a small team your review really does mean the world to us, it's wonderful to hear that Cherrypick really is doing everything we hoped it would for you 🍒

Cherry pick for the win. My aim this year is to eat fresher, waste less and try more. I also want to get my son eating more veg and less processed food. I used this app when it first started out as lollipop but along with a name change they’ve up-levelled to allow you to add recipes and their ingredients to Tescos delivery as well as sainos. This is a game changer. I haven’t tried the Asda collect option but using Tescos has saved me a lot of money on my weekly shop.

I select the recipes, tick the bits I need and boom, it adds to my Tescos account. Through the app you can also add your general groceries from the Tescos shelves (or amend the order on the tesco app later). Each week I’m cooking at least three new meals. My son has loved the sweet and sour chicken and the pesto, lemon chicken with giant cous cous. I can’t recommend enough I’ve done the Hello Fresh and Simply cook but the recipes just keep coming with Cherrypick and it’s minimal effort. You get the beauty of choice with the ease of not having to trudge through recipe books.

Hi Caroline here 👋🏻

Great to hear we're helping you to hit your food goals and saving money too 💰
