I read RecipeTin Eats Dinner by Nagi Maehashi in October 2023 and gave it 3 stars but didn't review it at the time as there wasn't much to say. However, we were fortunate to receive her latest offering RecipeTin Eats Tonight - Dinners for every night of the week from Australia’s favourite cook for Christmas 2024 and thought I'd leave a review by way of thanks.
Nagi Maehashi left her job working as a chartered accountant to pursue her love of cooking. She's now an internationally successful Australian food blogger and her website receives more than 500 million page views per year. In 2023, RecipeTin Eats Dinner was the fastest-selling cookbook in Australian publishing history. Following its success, the author turned down several offers to make TV shows and endorse products in favour of doing what she loves most, cooking and writing recipes.
RecipeTin Eats Tonight contains 150 of these brand new recipes and a variety of variations for which I was grateful, as you won't catch me cooking tofu or any of the seafood recipes.
The first recipe we trialled from the book was Baked Satay Chicken from page 84, and it was delicious, although a little spicy. A few of the ingredients were new to me but I'm keen to make it again. Next up was the Creamy, Cheesy Spaghetti from page 120 and this required a basic skill level more familiar in our household. This was very tasty and I'm keen to try it again but note to self, doubling the sauce wasn't required.
After reading this book, we now have red curry paste and curry powder in our pantry and I'm looking forward to trying the Sticky Pantry Chicken from Page 122.
RecipeTin Eats Tonight is recommended for home cooks and those looking for recipes that are flexible and contain proteins that are easily substituted or interchangeable.
We eat out of these two cookbooks a lot! Even tonight's dinner which i can smell right now!
