"Thankyou so much for the great ideas on the menu made site. With 5 children under 10 it has made organizing meals and food shopping so much easier. I often used to feel pressured with the decisions and rush of getting a nutritious dinner ready on busy nights. Now I sit down on Sunday evening and take a few minutes to design and print out our week's meals. The system is flexible enough to work with our family's likes and dislikes and also cater for the evenings we need to eat a one dish meal from the crockpot. It's also been great to try some new recipes without the time and energy of having to work out amounts and ingredients. Keep up the great job you are doing!" (Jenny Y, Waikato).

"I really enjoy using Menumade, it only takes a few minutes each week to sort out the weeks meals and once I have bought the groceries I know that I have all the ingredients in the kitchen - no running down to the shops at the last minute. It also means that there is one less thing I have to think about each day and if I do get caught out at the end of the day with the children I can ask my husband to carry on with the dinner - it is very bloke friendly with the step by step methods. I do like the new features and particularly like the way you have the egg free meals this will be very useful as our allergic toddler joins in more and more with the family meals. Thanks for making my life a little easier. " (Tina Rogers, Auckland)

"I have just finished cleaning up from my first Menumade dinner. Everything was so easy to follow and for the first time since cooking for my husband and then my family I actually enjoyed it - no stress, I feel liberated." (a Menumade customer, Auckland)

Thank you so much for Menumade. My husband, Mike, receives your recipes and is producing the most delicious, well cooked and presented meals - AND - is really enjoying doing so. We have been married 47 years and he has cooked about four meals in that time. His biggest problem is that he found "ordinary" recipes difficult to follow, for example, baste, saute, reduce etc etc, to a non experienced cook those words were meaningless. Your recipes and menus have made it so easy for him and with the bonus to both of us of the end result being interesting and very tasty dishes. Needless to say I have enjoyed the time off immensely! Thank you, thank you, thank you. PS Mike now has a selection of your recipes that he uses constantly and has also bought himself a Thai and an Indian cookbook. The confidence your recipes have given him have meant that he is only too willing to explore further. (Jose Mellelieu)

"Struggling with health issues suddenly made me aware of the importance of a sound immune system. This means lots of fresh food, illiminating the processed foods so full of chemicals and other none essential additives. Menumade provides just that, the plan takes all the difficulty out of planning a fresh healthy menu. My husband has many skills but cooking isn't one of them. This became a problem for both of us on nights when I was too unwell to cook. Now with Menumade he no longer has to ask, "What shall I cook?" he just checks the menu and follows the well thought out recipe plan to produce delicious meals. We still eat healthy and he feels so pleased with himself he is able to boast, "Yes I can cook!" " (Denise Stanford, Victoria, Australia)

"We are loving Menumade. Our shopping bill is so much cheaper and we no longer have the hassle of deciding what to make ( the worst part of coming home after a long day). We are really enjoying the healthy, varied meals and find that the recipe for 2 is ample for my husband, myself and our 2 pre-schoolers. My fussy 2 year old is eating more veges and seems to be happy to try all the different meals. We have recommended Menumade to all our friends and think for the money it is fantastic value for money considering how it has enhanced our lives!! I am sure you will be getting a lot more subscriptions." (Deborah Neal, Wellington)

"...I am thoroughly enjoying the way that I can now spend so much less time thinking and planning family meals. So far all meals have met with approval from all of our five family members..." (a Menumade customer)

"Thanks for letting me use the free trial on Menumade. I plan to subscribe over the next week. I think your system is great and the biggest benefits for us are (a) better budgeting for supermarket shops (b) planned meals and (c) great variety in meals. I also really like the workplan format, and the fact nothing is pre-packaged/ processed. Thank you very much - we only started this week, but are really enjoying it!" (a Menumade customer)

"I am finding this menu system really great - as with 5 adults in this household and two big eating males, it makes life a lot less stressful." (Jacqui Strange, Waikato)

"So often I comment on how wonderful Menumade is but never get around to telling you so at last want to write and tell you how much we have appreciated Menumade. After spending 8 years in Bangkok buying 3 meals a day I've got to admit my cooking skills had lapsed somewhat. Also there were many new things in the supermarket I didn't have a clue about. I wish I had known about Menumade 10 years ago when I first got back - but of course it wasn't happening then. It has introduced many new ingredients to me, and styles of cooking that I hadn't bothered trying - and all so simple. My husband has been on at me for years to do a meal plan - but I never got around to it. Now I have one made for me - recipes included! We eat lots more vegies. It is economical. I love all the new recipes and try them all - it always surprises me who in the family likes them and who doesn't. We eat a lot more fish - which we have always been keen on but now eat much, much more. I am much more confident at cooking, and now when guests are coming there is no panic - just the pleasure of serving up another interesting, tasty and nutritious meal. And I guess the main purpose of setting it up - I never stress about what's for dinner anymore. I could go on! We all appreciate Menumade very much, and it is very flexible so we can choose our favourites, and add in the Ghanaian food too which we like on a regular basis. Thank you both for a wonderful programme (Leigh Asiamah, Blenheim).
