Profile Photo Nagi and Dozer

Hi there! Nice to meet you!

I’m Nagi, and I’m the voice, cook, photographer and videographer behind RecipeTin Eats, and I live in the beautiful northern beaches area of Sydney, Australia.

I have an unhealthy obsession with food and my dog Dozer, an abnormally large and very cheeky golden retriever.

My blog reflects my philosophy on food and cooking – fast, creative, clever and fresh.

That’s fast meals for busy weeknights.

Creative new ideas and fresh takes on favourites to shortcut preparation, cut down on cost and create food with style.

Clever cooking so that you don’t sacrifice taste just because you’re short on time and on a budget. I’ll show you how to get gourmet flavours out of budget ingredients and how you can get organised so it’s a breeze to serve up nourishing meals to your family that will knock their socks off.

And fresh meals that are made from scratch. I don’t use store bought packet mixes or canned soup.

My recipes are cost conscious, made using everyday ingredients and (mostly) pretty healthy. I don’t use a tub of cream or blocks of cream cheese in every sauce, and I very rarely deep fry.

But sometimes I feel the need to unleash the demon within. 🙂

A Bit About Me….

Brookfield Multiple Dubai MeBorn in Japan, raised in Sydney, Australia, I’ve travelled the world from Europe to the Middle East, across Asia and America.

In a previous life, I worked in corporate finance. Though I thoroughly enjoyed my “first” career, I wanted to pursue a future where my passion really lies – food. 🙂

Today, I’m extremely fortunate to be able to say that I make a living doing what I truly love – creating and sharing my favourite recipes with people from all over the world.

Growing up, budget was tight and even though my mother worked full time, we dined like royalty because she was so creative in the kitchen. And this is why I know it’s possible to make great, fresh food even if you’re short on time and on a budget.

The recipes on my blog draws on influences from my travels, my ever evolving fascination with how just a few simple ingredients can transform into something that tastes so amazing, and learning genius tricks from the masters of the world.

I want to show you how to make vibrant recipes made with everyday ingredients, spanning cuisines from around the world as well as classic comforts. Delicious recipes with the “wow” factor that are simple to make, cost effective and can often be prepared ahead.

I hope you find something on here to your taste! – Nagi x

WHAT YOU’LL FIND ON MY BLOG

  • Seriously tasty simple recipes made using everyday ingredients. I don’t shop at gourmet stores.
  • Exciting New Ideas for Fast Midweek Meals.
  • Takeout favourites that truly taste like what you get at restaurants.
  • Easy recipes from around the world. 
  • Can’t-Live-Without Classics. 🙂
  • Salads with oomph! Because if I’m having a salad as a meal, it’s got to be something special!
  • Cooking for a crowd. I like to entertain. So many of my recipes are convenient for cooking for a crowd, whether it be easy to make in large volumes, or make ahead.
  • Tried and tested recipes. I take great care to ensure my recipes work and are written concisely. I also add notes to help with substitutions (where possible) and explanations for things that I think may not be familiar to everyone.

WHAT YOU WON’T FIND ON MY BLOG

  • I don’t follow trends for the sake of it. I only share recipes I truly love. There will never be a cauliflower crust pizza on my blog.
  • I do not sacrifice taste just for the sake of reducing calories (or following a trend). My healthy recipes are accidentally healthy.
  • Food that looks pretty but tastes blah. Never, ever, ever!
  • Recipes with shortcuts that compromise on flavour. I will cheat at every opportunity. So long as it doesn’t compromise on flavour.

“I don’t follow trends. I’m not into cauliflower crust pizza. I only share recipes that I truly love.”

DIFFERENCE IN MEASURES BETWEEN COUNTRIES

DID YOU KNOW….? Cups, tablespoons and teaspoon sizes differ between countries. For the vast majority of my recipes, the difference is not enough to affect the recipes – this mostly holds true for savoury recipes.

However, for baking recipes like cakes, slices, delicate desserts and especially cookies, the slight difference between measurements does matter.

So I ensure that my baking recipes are tested and written so that they will work for cooks in different countries. This also applies to any savoury recipes that are affected as well.

Example: In my Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe, I specified that the recipe called for 1 1/2 US cups all purpose flour OR 1¼ cups / 185g plain flour for all other countries.

    Hi, I made your vegetable beef soup last night and then had it again for breakfast. The savory flavors are excellent. The house smelled divine while it simmered. I am so glad to have found you online and I’m looking forward to trying other things!

    Hello, I love your recipes so simple to follow and at 75 years. I have now progressed fom a frying pan to the oven.

    Always take a good look at what you are about to eat. It’s not so important to know what it is .but it’s critical to know what it was.

    I have now made your Chicken Shawarma, Syrian Chicken and Chicken Gyros with flatbread. Each recipe was so delicious !! Your recipes are so well set up in every way. I thank you very much for your wonderful site. It is my first choice and my inspiration. I cannot wait to try another of your recipes, although I want to have more of what I have already made. Happy cooking!

    Made a double batch of the chicken yesterday served with rice. Everyone absolutely loved it.. One batch was chicken thighs marinated for 30 mins and the other was chicken breasts (which I marinated with 1/4 tsp of baking soda as you suggested) for 3 hours in the fridge. Every piece of chicken was so tender.
