Can you remember being a kid and wishing away your childhood so you could be a grown up and get to do all the cool grown-up things? I do, and now I look back and wonder why I was in such a hurry to exchange endless playdates with friends for a perpetual laundry pile and the torture of having to decide what to cook every night until the end of time! What was I thinking?

It’s not just the meal planning that sucks the joy out of being a grown up though, is it? Hitting the supermarket, dealing with large crowds, long queues and the dreaded self-checkout counter is hardly a laugh a minute either, is it?

Don’t get me wrong, I love gathering my family around the table at the end of a long day to share a meal and swap stories. But I loathe all mental load of deciding what to eat each night, and I can think of far better ways to spend my time than wandering around the supermarket gathering ingredients. Urgh! So you can bet that when we were approached by QuiteLike with the opportunity to review their meal kit delivery service I shot my hand up so fast I almost took my own eye out! Pick me, pick me!

If you haven’t heard of them, QuiteLike are the latest Aussie-owned company promising to make dinnertime stress-free, delicious, and even a little exciting! Here’s everything you need to know!

What Makes QuiteLike Different?

There are plenty of meal kits out there, but QuiteLike sets itself apart in a few key ways:

1. A Seriously Impressive Recipe Selection

Unlike some services that repeat the same meals over and over, QuiteLike offers 30 new recipes each week—and they don’t play it safe. Of course you’ll find family-friendly classics like beef lasagne and chicken parmigiana, but you’ll also find more adventurous options like lamb kebabs with caramelised feta and vegetable couscous or Japanese-style burgers with miso sesame slaw. Drool!

Even better, there’s a good balance between quick and easy meals (hello, 30-minute dinners) and recipes that let you flex your cooking skills a little more. So whether you’re just trying to get something on the table fast or looking for an excuse to channel your inner MasterChef, there’s something for you.

2. High-Quality Aussie Ingredients

One of QuiteLike’s big selling points is that it’s Australian-owned and sources most of its ingredients locally. That means the meat and seafood are beautifully fresh, and you’ll find trusted, familiar brands in your kit rather than random generic items.

If you’ve tried other meal kits and found the quality hit-or-miss, QuiteLike might be a refreshing change. Everything I received—from the crisp veggies to the premium cuts of meat—was top-notch.

3. Super Flexible Subscription (No Lock-Ins or Hidden Fees!)

Life is unpredictable—one week you’re planning meals, the next you’re drowning in school events and after-school activities. The good news? QuiteLike lets you skip weeks, change your plan, or cancel anytime with no cancellation fees.

It sounds like a small thing, but if you’ve ever wrestled with trying to pause a subscription (only to be hit with a sneaky charge), you’ll appreciate how easy this is.

4. Earn Flybuys While You Eat

If you’re a Flybuys addict (guilty!), you’ll love that QuiteLike gives you 1 Flybuys point for every $1 spent—or up to 10 points per dollar if you’re part of their ‘Cook’s Perks’ rewards club. It’s a nice little extra that makes ordering meal kits feel less like an indulgence and more like a smart shopping move.

5. Less Waste, More Sustainability

Meal kits are notorious for excessive packaging, but QuiteLike seems to have put some thought into reducing waste. While there’s still some plastic (it’s unavoidable with fresh ingredients), they try to use paper bags, the  boxes are 100% recyclable and made from approximately 52% recycled cardboard content, the thermal pouch is 100% recyclable and they only send what you actually need—so you won’t end up with random leftover ingredients destined for the bin.

What’s It Like to Cook with QuiteLike?

Now, onto the important part—does it actually make cooking easier?

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: The recipe cards are super clear, even if you’re not the most confident cook. This also means that other people in your home can confidently take on the task of preparing dinner for the family…just saying! Ingredients are pre-portioned, so there’s no measuring or guesswork, and most meals can be made in around 30–45 minutes or less.

But more importantly, the meals taste amazing, with fairly little effort (which I love!)

I’ll be the first one to admit that I often get stuck in a rut of cooking the same handful of meals on repeat because planning what to cook at the end of a busy work day drains me to the point of mental exhaustion and I figure that cooking spag bol for the second time that week is still better than grabbing a takeaway! So one of the things my family have loved most about trialling QuiteLike has been trying new ingredients and flavours and stepping outside of our comfort zone and discovering delicious new meals that can be easily prepared at home.

Final Verdict: Should You Try It?

If you’re looking for a flexible, high-quality, Aussie-owned meal kit that makes dinnertime easier (and way more delicious), QuiteLike is absolutely worth a try. The variety is fantastic, the ingredients are top-notch, and the recipes actually bring some excitement back to cooking.

For busy parents, it’s a total game-changer—less stress, less shopping, and more time enjoying dinner with the family. What’s not to love?

Would I order again? 100%.
