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….
Salad salad salad! Your salads are the best i have made!
Congratulations Nagi! That’s awesome news. I think some more of your awesome one pan dishes would be great. And lots of notes still, like in your blog. They are so helpful!
I adore your chocolate muffin recipe. How about a white chocolate and raspberry one?
Would also love a section on low carb meals for those on a keto diet.
Every recipe you have Been that I have tried has been amazing. You make it easy to read your recipes with pics of everything you will need I hope you keep that. Can’t wait to buy it.
Hi Nagi, maybe a 20 (or 30) minute meals section? Quick weeknight meals would be amazing. Thank you! Love you and Dozer.
Congratulations! Very happy for you. Everything that I have made from your site has been a tasty success. I often send your recipes on to others. As much as the recipes themselves, I have learned so much from your notes..so much useful advice, so please don’t miss out your notes & tips. Also my husband raves about my salads, mainly because of your dressings that I use with them. Please include your tasty dressings in a chapter. Bless
Love ALL your recipes cannot wait for your cookbook any time line as to when
Page. On list of fresh herbs that are comparable with each other best dishes to use with Same for list of spices. Simple entertaining menus with a wow factor make ahead THank. YOU nagi and Dozer. Dozers recommendations. ♥️♥️
Love your Butter chicken and jasmine rice in coconut milk please include these, it’s one of the best.
So stoked for you. I really hope that Dozer stars/has a place in your cookbook. All your substitutions (including how to make GF, DF or other dietary requirements), cooking notes etc. are super helpful. I’m sure whatever you include will be amazing.
I made your Vindaloo last night so Id love to see that recipe in the book, it is mine & my husbands favourite & the baked chicken which makes it’s own gravy, I make that weekly. I know your not asking on cover ideas yet but I think it should have you & Dozer on it, he has been such a huge part of this journey & it would be instantly recognised. Wishing you best of luck Nagi.
Oh my gosh!!! I’ve been waiting for this!! So exciting for you, Nagi, can’t wait to buy and congratulations!
My absolute favourites are your Reuben Sandwich, the original recipe for your Panko fried oven chicken tenders and your original recipe for Salmon pots! I haven’t tried your new versions as I am so happy with the old ones. A big hit wherever I take them. Thank you Nagi for making me look like a fabulous cook! 😬
Love all of your recipes … full stop.
I’ve recently discovered the joys of the air fryer and pressure cooker which are making life in my busy household much easier … some conversions for this style of cooking would be great to include in your book … xx
How about organizing the cookbook by occasion and seasons? E.g., weeknights, weekends, holidays, other special occasions. Would also be great to have recipes “for one or two” as well as “for large groups”. Thank you for this awesome site and you and your team for your charitable culinary efforts!! So looking forward to buying your cookbook!!
What great news…im sitting here catching up on stuff whilst the Massaman curry from your sites does its thing…the fragrance is off the charts. Now to look up the nan bread.
Yippppeeeee!! How flipping exciting.. completely made up for you, you legend!! I’m still holding out hope for a true blue Aussie Dim Sim to be able to replicate in London (where I’ve lived for nearly 17 years now) .. on the days I need a dimmy.. a little nostalgic morsel of deliciousness.. that would definitely make my wish list for our new book Nagi. I bet Dozer would agree too. Big congratulations and much love! Pink ♥️
Hi Nagi, would love a chicken Florentine recipe, some easy salad dressing recipes, would love you to try your hand at some authentic African dishes. It must include your Biriyani and Butter Chicken. Can’t wait for it x
Great news Nagi!! Can’t wait for your cookbook to be published! will most certainly buy a copy! 🙂 Could you please devise a recipe for espresso or mocha muffins? Many thanks!
Fabulous Nagi,
Definitely included Asian glazed barramundi, Asian coleslaw, barbecue beef ribs……..,trouble is our family love all your recipes
Chinese chicken salad. !! And please include your commentary on favourite brand thai products if you can – like you did when highlighting ingredients. I take your list with me to the Asian grocer ( still prefer thai kitchen curry to maersi. Or whatever it is. Sorry) And it would be good if dozer can grace some pages. If he could be included that would be cute and different than Others
