SURPRISE! I’ve signed a contract for a RecipeTin cookbook! But this won’t be just another cookbook……This is going to be a cookbook filled with new recipes YOU ask for.
Let’s make this cookbook OURS!
PS That’s just a mock cover!!
Finally – a cookbook!
This is real – a RecipeTin cookbook is happening! I’m committed – I can’t back out, I’ve signed a publishing contract with Pan Macmillan, a big name publishing house here in Australia.
Excited, nervous, daunted, scared…. all these words come to mind as I sit here, preparing myself for what will be the the most important and biggest project I have ever undertaken in my professional life.
Which brings me to the main purpose of sharing this news….
I want to make this cookbook WITH you, FOR you!
Let’s fill these pages with recipes YOU want! Mostly new, but even some favourites from the website!
I’m going to be completely honest with you. I am under no illusion about how much work it will take to make a cookbook.
So for me to make this cookbook for myself, because, well, you know, it is kind of an ego boost to see your name on a printed book. That’s not enough motivation for me. I don’t deserve it! 😂
If, on the other hand, I make it for you…….. now THAT is what I call motivation. That gets me excited. That is what will give me the incentive to give this cookbook everything I’ve got, to make it the best it can be.
I want to make a cookbook that you will actually use all the time, rather than gathering dust on the bookshelf.
So tell me what you want in our cookbook! What type of recipes, even little details like adding nutrition information, storage and make ahead tips, or key dietary notes (like gluten free).
They will mostly be new recipes that are exclusively made for the cookbook though I will also include some long standing reader favourites from the website!
Let’s make this cookbook together. Leave your cookbook wish list in the comments section below!!

PS Reminder – this cover is a fake!! 😂 You know full well I am going to ask for your opinion when choosing the real cover. ❤️
Life of Dozer
I know today’s big announcement is all about me, me, me. But that’s no excuse to skip a Dozer update! Here he is, disrespecting my cookbook already. Or possibly just thinks the photo is real food. It could be either. 🙄
Though he has already expressed he is willing and able to help in any way possible with the cookbook. Thanks Dozer! We all know what your “help” involves….
This is bloody fantastic. Congratulations Nagi!
Every week I am downloading recipes and printing them off. I have used your recipes for the past three nights, including tonight. Pastitsio. I drove 50kms to get the right pasta and cheese. I’m just about to styart on the Fennel Salad.The kitchen smeels delicious. Last night your glazed meatloaf, and on Sunday we’re trying the sausage rolls.
I can’t wait to buy a copy. You will probably need to do more than one book…just sayin..

Great Recipes – and it’s fantastic to have Recipes which are full of ‘normal’ ingredients, not things which are difficult to find and which are just included because they are trendy or look good on a plate ! And, it’s an original Thai Green Curry Chicken for me, please !!!
Hi Nagi some of the recipes I would like to see in your cookbook are: your Pot Roast recipe, Slow cooker Beef Stroganoff, Chicken Satay Curry, Coconut Rice, how to cook Jasmine Rice successfully. I love cooking your recipes – all the hints and tips are so helpful and the meals are so tasty. Thankyou.
Oh wow! So exciting! Omg…where do we start? The butter chicken, mongolian lamb, beef bourguignon, sticky chinese chicken wings, the plum ones too. All favourites in our house!
every thing i use your recipes every day 7 days a week book would be great that way would not have a huge folder with the ones i print of lol
looking forward to it
Rogan Josh lamb curry
Naan
The best curry I have ever tasted with your homemade naan!
anything gluten free or that can be successfully adapted
Moussaka; Satay Chicken; Thai Fried Rice; Pea & Ham Soup (yes, it’s that good); Lime Chicken…. I could go on.
Butter chicken / chilli mac and cheese / Asian Slaw/ 12 minute Thai chicken peanut noodles/beef stroganoff / how to cook rice
Oh mate!!!!! I’m so happy for you (but also totally selfishly happy for myself 😅) This news has literally made my week! Congrats girl! Literally no one deserves this more than you (and me 🤣)
I just want it to be big! Lots and lots of recipes! I have so many I love from your site, they would be lovely to have in book form.
Grouped by cuisine, or what goes together would be good, exactly like today’s email – BBQ feast – pick and choose, or make them all! Then Greek, and Middle Eastern, and Thai and Indian and Japanese, etc.
Gotta have all the notes, all the variations that you have on the website.
Oh, and sections for like basics, sauces, salads, etc. Just put your whole website in a book, it would be fantastic!
OMG…I want all your recipes in this book. Especially the Ricotta Gnocchi..It’s to die for. Looking forward to the book.

Very excited for you Nagi – I love everything you make, simple and delicious and doesn’t take hours to make. Beside the photo of the dish, I love a very short personal anecdote / history of why you are including the recipe. Can hardly wait for the cookbook! Please include photos of Dozer!!
Congrats!!! I love all your tips on substitute options, please keep them. Symbols for if a meal can be made ahead, frozen, slow cooker etc would be wonderful!
Amazing news!! Your website is my benchmark for all other recipes! Congrats ☺️!!
I love your notes and sub sections, I always read. Chicken enchiladas are on repeat at my house (refried beans a game changer 😱) and love your dip recipes!!
Hope you are staying safe in lockdown, from another lockdown VIC!
Any one of your recipes will be welcome..could you include a small selection of Dozer cakes and biscuits please.
Pasta alla norma
Chicken satay curry
Vietnamese noodles with lemongrass chicken
Thai basil chicken
Korean bulgogi

All your notes and alternatives you add to each recipe. Love your recipes.
Brilliant news! Congratulations and looking forward to it! Love all you recipes – so easy to follow too. Our fav at the mo is a simple one – Anzac cookies! Love them – so a baking section would be fab. Also, freeze and reheat instructions would be brill so there’s no room for waste. Good luck xx
