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….
Your Chicken Tikka….its AMAZING!
Congratulations!
Any & all recipes would be great
Suggest you include your lists of “what to buy in an Asian market” of pantry staples or the like. Hope I’ll be able to get a copy in the US!
I have been cooking pork belly for years. Nagi, your method is a game changer. I now nail it every time. Crispy skin, moist meat….. that’s gotta go in the book !
Hi Nagi
Could you include some gluten free recipes in your cookbook.please.
I would like to have recipes of some Indian sweets.
I think your Juicy Roast Turkey with the Cranberry Sauce is amazing and should be in the cookbook. My family asks that I make your recipe every year. Congrats on your book deal!
Wow …Awesomeness . Please include ALL your Asian dishes . They are soooo good !!! Chinese Crispy Pork Belly , Vietnamese Coconut Caramel Chicken ,Cashew Chicken , Honey Chicken , Mongolian Lamb , General Tsos Chicken , Nutella Cheesecake ( ok I know thats not Asian but it was delicious and I didnt want to forget it )!!!! , smashed cucumber salad ……..could go on for hours.
Slow cooker and one pot meals cause I’m time poor. Easy but tasty salads cause when l make a salad it looks like garden cuttings.
Congratulations Nagi. That’s fantastic. So happy for you, and for those of us who will buy your book. I don’t really have any suggestions other than just keep on doing what you do, because you do it so well.
My husband has lamented the loss of Campbell’s Savoury Mince ever since the company ceased making it years ago. It was a childhood favourite and we have never found a satisfactory replica recipe. My husband has contacted Campbell’s a number of times over the years pleading for a return of this delectable meal. Savoury mince in a jaffel or on toast is a true winter warmer! If you can wave your culinary magic wand and develop the recipe he (and I) will be forever thankful. Congratulations on the book, so pleased for you. Keep up the great work, love all your recipes.
Hi Nagi, Congratulations on your book deal and also the wonderful RT Meals!
I would love the RTE team to perfect Estonian Pirukas, aka Polish Pierogi. I love your no-knead artisan bread and cinnamon rolls. Is a no-knead panettone possible? Finally, do you have a recipe for making up Fiori di sicilia? It seems impossible to get or even import in Australia. What I want in a cookbook is lots of photos, lay flat pages, pages that are stain / water resistant and ideally able to be pulled out and put back into the book. As for a theme, perhaps ethnic-themed dinner party recipes / menus with lots of additional notes, rather than the quick and easy everyday go to recipes (which I love and live by)!
*naerdes* See palve on Nagi laual palju aastaid lebanud ! Ei tea kui paljud huvitatud oleks !!!
Tere Sydneyst! I agree but can always hope!
I love so many of your recipes! But the ones I have most appreciated since the pandemic are the ones that taught me how to cook meals I couldn’t go to a restaurant for, like Schawarma, gyros, doner, souvlaki, pita and nann, your wonderful crispy Greek-style roasted lemon potatoes, and so many more. You have made me a better cook.
a cook book – of course – good work Nagi!
1. Please have a photo of every dish
2. Easy bread recipes (your fabulous artisan, naan, milk, briosche, etc
3. love your tips, extra photos and videos, maybe QR code to them as there won’t be room in a cook book.
4. if you have an all time favourite section – we could vote for our top 10 or 20.
5. Left over tips, e.g. lamb roast for greek lamb wraps, chicken for stirfried rice, chicken salad, or more wraps!!!
Yes yes yes!! I’m so excited Nagi!!! 🎉 please include some fam faves like your classic Schnitzel recipe, fried rice, blueberry muffins, pan fried fish, oh my there are soo many. Congratulations Nagi, can’t wait to see what new recipes you come up with, maybe even some drinks?? Lots of love!! Xo

Congratulations to you and us – the lucky people in the world who have found you.

Lots of recipes using “FISH”.
Many different varieties of fish.
Congratulations. Your receipes are always the favourites at Wednesday night family dinner. Can’t wait for a copy of your new book.
This is really great news!
I would really like to see the nutritional information for each recipe in the book, makes counting calories way easier.
My favourite recipes are the goan fish curry, the corn bread, and the southern style beans and bacon. The latter two are staples at every BBQ we do and people always ask for the recipe.
