Something we love about WeCook is the customization of sides. You can order from the following options: 1) Rice and vegetables, 2) Potatoes and vegetables, 3) Quinoa and vegetables, 4) Sweet potatoes and vegetables, 5) Vegetables only. So that means on top of choosing whether you want 100g or 200g of meat, you can also pick your favourite sides to really tailor the meal to your taste buds.

When it comes to Goodfood, you can pick from the plans we mentioned above, in pricing: Classic, Vegetarian, Easy Prep, Low Carb, or Family. The total number of recipes across the different plans is 18, which is fairly decent. However, there are only around five vegetarian options each week and the largest variety is found in the Classic plan with around 13 recipes each week. 

Let’s look at a sample of recipes for Goodfood vs WeCook:

Goodfood meals

• • Ground beef meatballs with savoury mushroom gravy over rustic mash and string beans
• • Vegan black bean tacos with cucumber-tomato salad and avocado puree
• • Sheet pan salmon with mustard cream, maple-roasted potatoes, turnips, and beets
• • BBQ-glazed roasted carrot and walnut bulgar bowls with feta and sesame sunshine vinaigrette
• • Kerala-style roadside chicken with seared zucchini, raita, and garlic naan

WeCook meals

• • Roasted pork loin with smoky lentil stew and vegetables
• • Grilled turkey and quinoa salad with crunchy vegetables, cheddar cheese, and apple vinaigrette
• • Montreal steak spiced pork filet with smoked BBQ sauce
• • Taco-style grilled chicken thighs, pico de gallo, and guacamole
• • “Shish taouk” style grilled chicken thighs, hummus, and garlic sauce

As you can see, these meals sound delicious and a lot of care goes into the weekly menus. A large benefit with WeCook is you can order a number of extras with your meals. They have a large grocery section that includes snacks, smoothies, breakfast meals ($9.95 each), and more.

Dietary Requirements

Goodfood prepares all food safely and indicates the allergens on each recipe, so you can look at this before you order. Ingredients are pre-portioned in individual packages so you can leave out ingredients. However, the boxes are all assembled in the same processing facility so they can’t guarantee there isn’t cross-contamination. Goodfood doesn’t recommend ordering if you have severe allergies. 

WeCook produces all meals in the same facility so cross-contamination is always a possibility. If you have mild allergies, you can see the list of ingredients for each meal online, including allergens and nutritional values. Therefore, neither company is suitable if you have severe allergies.

In terms of diets, Goodfood has keto and paleo meals on the menu each week, although there are usually five to choose from in total. This might be fine if you’re just ordering a couple of recipes a week and like their recipes (most of the low-carb options are really tasty). It can be difficult sticking to a diet on your own, so this can be a great way to learn what to cook on a low-carb diet and stay motivated. They also have five vegetarian meals each week (and one of these is usually vegan). 

In contrast, WeCook has one or two vegetarian meals on the menu each week. There are no keto-specific meals available either, but you can choose “vegetables only” as your side dish to reduce the number of carbs in each meal, and you can choose the larger portion of meat.

Delivery and Packaging

When it comes to Goodfood, depending on where you live, the cardboard box, bags, insulation liner, and bottles may all be recyclable, and they’re made of recycled materials. There is also a Reusable Box Program, which is available in some regions. If it is in your location, you can pay a $50 deposit and you will have two reusable boxes delivered on a rotating cycle. WeCook is also environmentally conscientious and all meals come in packaging that’s recyclable and some of it is made from recycled materials as an added bonus. 

When it comes to delivery, Goodfood delivers to Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, and the Maritimes. They offer free delivery with meal subscription orders, and in some locations offer same-day or next-day delivery. WeCook only delivers to Ontario and Quebec at this stage.

“As someone who has been using WeCook for about a month now, I can say that I have really enjoyed each of the recipes I’ve tried so far. The meals have been very enjoyable and the ingredients are fresh and of good quality. My only point of feedback for WeCook would be that I would like to see more diversity in the meals offered. While the current selection is great, I would love to see cuisines from around the world represented as well. Overall, I am very happy with my experience using WeCook and would recommend it to others. I will definitely continue my subscription.”
