Talk to me! Tell me what you want.

It’s not often we have the luxury of being asked – what do you want?

And while I imagine in many situations, that’s a loaded question for a list of unrealistic demands, in the world of RecipeTin Eats, it is somewhat more viable for me to deliver!

The list of recipe and food related ideas I have is long and never ending. New ideas get added every day, things get scratched off as I try and dismiss them. Only the very best, the ones I deem “blog worthy” (yep, that’s a technical term 😂) make it on my website.

The problem is, the number of blog-worthy dishes is very, very long. And there is only so much ground that one girl and her dog can cover.

Thus, I turn to you to ask –

Tell me what you want for 2021!

Or, what do you not want? You can ask for anything! Here are some ideas:

  • More greens, less meat

  • More fish!

  • Work lunch ideas

  • More Dozer (🤞🏼!)

  • Dietary specific recipes – low cal / low carb

  • Freezer friendly recipes

  • Complete menus – where I share starter/main/sides/dessert like this Arabian Nights Feast I did many years ago (and still rather popular to this day!)

  • Slow cooker recipes – the “set and forget” sort

I obviously cannot promise to give you absolutely everything you ask for. But I can promise that I will read every response, and what you say will shape the direction of RecipeTin Eats in 2021.

So, talk to me!! – Nagi x

PS Still taking dish specific requests on this page! This is a perpetual list that I use for inspiration, and sometimes I can provide links to recipes from other sources (if I’ve tried them) so you don’t have to wait for me!

PPS Just one thing I can’t deliver on –

🚫🍌 NO BANANA. The only “normal” food I can’t stand, a childhood hangover from all those years my mother would jam a banana in my lunchbox and there it would sit, festering in the Aussie summer heat (pre cooler-bag days) and the banana smell with infuse into everything in the lunchbox. Ever had a banana infused ham sandwich? Not good, my friends. Not good. 🤢

I find it thoroughly amusing that my mother is the master of bento box lunches but failed to even consider the most basic fundamentals of putting together a sandwich lunchbox.

And thus, I am scarred for life. No bananas!😇 (Blame mum)


Life of Dozer

Launching into 2021, Dozer style:

Dozer jumping into pool

And PS, wow, what a response to the Interview With Dozer!! Trust Dozer to close out 2020 with the single most commented on post of the year. Stealing my thunder – and I totally love it. 🥰

    Hi Nagi, I can definitely understand what you have been going through on the Northern Beaches. I live and work in the Whitsundays and had to cancel Christmas plans with my kids who live in Avalon…so sad. I just recently made your brined chicken and it was delicious and my daughter made one of your baked cheesecakes…so yum. I would love to see more chicken recipes as I have the famous Northern Beaches tick allergy to red meat from when I lived there years ago. I would love to be more creative with chicken and salads especially. Thanks for your amazing recipes. Julie

    Thank you for a wonderful 2020 of recipes and Dozer! Would love to see some low cal/low-carb recipes, and some one-pan recipes – I know you have a good collection but can never get enough of them. Thank you again – I don’t think I appreciate how much work goes into testing, re-testing, photographing, writing etc recipes that you share – thank you again! 😀 (And Dozer is always great to see!0

    Hi Nagi
    Not only are you an exceptional cook and teacher, you’re a very witty writer! Your recipes are fool and fail proof, so much so I don’t look anywhere else. I’d like to see you really benefit financially (and publically to the degree you’re comfortable). Sharing your life with Dozer is also such a treat to see. I also really hope that you get wined and dined but also appreciate you’re not biased in favour of specific products. Thanks for being you in all your brilliance! X Cathy

    Hi Nagi, huuuuge fan of everything Vietnamese or Malaysion/Indonesian here!! Would love much more of that! However , I am thinking on embarking on a Fast 800 diet,as a result of Covid lockdown and too may snacks and way too much baking, so 800 calorie meals/b’fast/lunches would also be great! No matter what you post, I will make it or watch it!! Thanks for getting us through 2020!!!!

    Happy new year!
    I am new to your site but so happy I found it – every recipe we’ve made has been a hit 🙂 I am a huge fan of Lebanese food and your dim sum recipes. More of those would be so welcome. And of course, more Dozer 🙂 Thank you so much!

    Hi Nagi
    I am loving your family friendly recipes…. thank-you!
    Some one pan/one pot supper recipes would be great – I am also trying to include some vegetarian dishes during the week and am on the hunt for ones that are full of flavour, quick and easy that the whole family will enjoy.

    Hi Nagi, and happy new year!

    I think your website is lovely as it is, you have many posts for recipes that I’m interested in, and it’s also great being inspired by new ideas that I hadn’t considered myself before. It’s a great mix 👍🏻

    I would love it if you perhaps looked into posting more low carb meals. I’ve made many recipes from your site, and those that are low carb are a wonderful bonus (your cauli fried rice is TERRIFIC).

    I did notice a few people commenting about slow cooker meals… If you do decide to do more if these, could you also please consider putting regular cooking instructions for those of us without slow cookers? I know you’ve done this on other recipes that you’ve posted before and I really appreciate it!

    Thank you for your wonderful work Nagi, you are a real treasure.

    Dewey
