User Reviews

SideChef shines for recipe discovery, variety, clear instructions, and beginner-friendly tutorials, feeling like a helpful kitchen assistant. Some users report update-related instability, pantry/shopping-list friction, and occasional misaligned recommendations. It’s strong for learning and planning, but reliability and personalization could be improved.

Pros

Excellent recipe discovery with broad variety
Clear, easy-to-follow instructions; beginner-friendly
Helpful tutorials and guides that support learning to cook
Feels like a convenient kitchen assistant that inspires meal ideas

Cons

Update-related instability and features not working after updates
Pantry/shopping-list workflow is burdensome or over-engineered
Personalization of recommendations can miss user preferences (e.g., foods to avoid)
Meal planner/calendar can fail to load or function properly

I set my diet to vegetarian and still get meat dishes recommended to me

Ne*****, 2026-07-11

Love, love, and love. Truly one of the best apps ever. I love how it has the ingredients list, and click add button it takes you exactly where to purchase all ingredients and what stores has the following ingredients showing you what's in stock and out of stock. I also love how you can add and take from the recipes meaning how you can swab out something for example like shellfish if you have food allergies without ruining the entire recipe. 2 years using it I've gain my excellent health back.
