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….
A few years ago I had a holiday in your neck of the woods, first in Oz and then NZ. What I remember is the food! And particularly, in Oz; chicken and gravy in bread rolls – I’ve searched on line for the recipe in vain and also, in NZ; the minced meat pies on sale at virtually every snack bar and cafe on the roadsides everywhere – they were the best meat pies I’ve every tasted and I used to buy at least one a day on almost every day we spent in NZ – 6 weeks! So if you could include those two recipes in your new cookbook, I would be over the moon. PS I live in Dorset, UK.
This is great news! I love your recipes and of course the life of Dozer makes them even more special!
I love the tips, the hints and the trade secrets!
Waiting for the book.
Crispy sticky Mongolian beef 🤤🤤🤤
I love yours Massaman curry recipe. I’d love your take on a Penang curry, too
Dear Nagi,
How nice of you to ask us what we’d like your book to hold!
I fancy for especially your bakes such as:
Easy Chocolate Fudge Cake
Sweet Tart Crust
Lemon Tart
Pumpkin Pie
Blueberry Lemon Yogurt Cake
Raspberry Jam Bars
Easiest Ever Moist Apple Cake
plus Chicken Kiev
….. and lots more!
I really appreciate your way of showing recipe (in metric!) as well as neat & kind instruction/explanation on ingredients and technique. It’s wonderful we can learn about background information when we cook/bake.!
I very much look forward to THE book of yours/ours ^^
I love your quick dinner recipes! More of them would be amazing! And it’s not a Nagi recipe without your tips section!!
Hello,
I would be happy to see some simply made dinner recipes something you can quickly throw it together after work sort of thing,
I hope there will be a possibility to buy a book in the UK? 😊

Hi Nagi
I like the idea of light meals which start with some basic ingredients, and then are expanded to become more complex and can be used in other dishes. Also, recipes designed for 2 are useful for couples but can easily be doubled or tripled. What to do with leftovers would be useful.
Some quick recipes for single people, and some ideas for nibbles.
I love your recipes Nagi; they work and are easy to follow. They make cooking such a joy. Thank you! 💜
Thanks for the oppertunity for a wish list. I would like to see a recipe for creamy garlic prawns added to your book . Looking forward to it. I have been a follower of your site for quite a while now and enjoy your recipes
Love your Cinnamon Bread (quick bread recipe) and No Yeast Bread! These are easy recipes with other options to increase usage. Fast homemade recipes always the way to go!
This is the best news I’ve heard all week, I can’t wait to buy it!!!!
Would love a recipe for Mille Fuille – maybe one with passion fruit icing? So exciting! Love a good cookbook!
It’s really BIG news ad I can’t wait!!! I love all your recipes, especially Salmon with herbs, Chicken Souvlaki and everything of pasta. Good luck and best regards from Croatia.
That’s great news, Nagi! I use your recipes all the time and have put my family and friends onto your site. I’d love to see some ‘make ahead’ recipes so when my family come to visit, I’m not spending all my time in the kitchen. Can’t wait to see your cookbook!
Congratulations on the cookbook! I can’t wait to buy it! I really love the notes/substitutions you do at the end of the recipe, they really help! I don’t know if you’ll have the page space but I hope that they can be included!
I feel like I know you. I tell my grandkids, who live with me, this is from my Aussie lady friend, the cook. Please add a seafood section with baked fish as well as stir fry. Thank you!! Mare
Nagi,
I love your recipes and the Life of Dozer. His opinion is a must! There are too many of your wonderful recipes that need to go into the book. A favourite is the lamb massaman curry though.
How exciting! I’ll definitely be buying a copy! I know you want new recipes but please please please include your pizza dough recipe – I use it every week & still can’t remember it, a book version would mean I’ll never lose it!
