Our Story
We’re Nikki and Laura, the duo behind Assortment.
We’re Nikki and Laura, childhood besties and the duo behind Assortment. Our journey started during the first lockdown as a labor of love, creating meal plans and shopping lists for friends and family. Fast forward three years, and we’ve turned that passion into a membership program to share our meal plans with you!
While learning how to run a business, we also took on the rewarding challenge of motherhood.We now totally understand how challenging it can be to eat well without the stress, which has made us even more passionate about creating our menus. We will be focusing even more on meals that are quick and easy to get on the table and that are of course meal prep-friendly. We will also keep adding our favourite breakfast, lunch, and snack recipes to the membership to keep the whole family fuelled with nutritious food throughout the day.
We’re incredibly grateful everyday for the amazing community and our wonderful members.
Our Mission
Sustainability
With many of us looking for ways to tread lighter on the planet, we’re excited to help bring sustainability into your kitchen through our weekly menus, maximising the use of ingredients, to help you reduce waste and save money.
Our commitment extends beyond the kitchen, with 10% of every membership fee being donated to Fair Food, an Auckland-based food rescue charity, collecting surplus food from retailers and manufacturers and re-distributing this food to people in need across Auckland.
Flexibility
One size doesn’t fit all, that’s why our recipes are designed with adaptability in mind. They can easily align with your dietary preferences, lifestyle, and budget. With Assortment, you have the freedom to choose ingredients, support local farmers markets, and shop your favourite brands.
Education
Everyone has to cook so why not enjoy the process! Through our fast paced lifestyle, cooking has become demonised. The quicker the better, the more prepared the better, the less time in the kitchen the better. Our mission is to help shift this mindset by offering more than just recipes – teaching you new skills to give you confidence in the kitchen.
