The last few weeks sinceDinnerhit the stores in Australia has been a whirlwind.
Heres whats been happening!
(And heres my ongoing full Australian book-tour schedulehere.)
At the Kinokuniya bookstore book talk and signing event
Well, I think theyre here for me…..?
I said, uncertainly, just as confused.
You mean they PAID to come and hear you talk?
At the Kinokuniya bookstore book talk and signing event
YOU?she said, brows furrowed in total disbelief.
I wish I had captured that conversation on camera!!
You see, this office-gal turned food blogger has been hiding behind a keyboard all these years.
At the Dymocks cocktail party / book talk that took place on Wednesday 28th October 2022.
Being in front of a camera is definitely not my comfort zone.
I have no desire to be famous (whatever that means these days!
), to be recognised in public, to be on TV or in glossy magazines.
Its the best part, meeting so many wonderful people, having a laugh and hearing stories.
And theres no better way for me to share with you what its been like than to show you.
Welcome to the RecipeTin Cookbook Tour Home Movies!

Kinokuniyabook talk and signing that took place in the city, Dozer and my first public event!
Big W book signing a public event that anyone could attend.
I was so worried about people not turning up that I brought cookies and brownies to entice people!
That, plus Dozer, worked.
I was determined to stay until I met the last person in the queue.
It took about 5 1/2 hours!
There were bubbles and nibbles and Dozer, chatting and book signing.
It was fabulous fun!
I do like these small signings more time to chat!!
Yes, Dozer has been on TV.
Check that offhismy bucket list!!
(Watch it onlinehere, orhereon Facebook!)
Not even I have a chef hat…. how did Dozer manage to score one??
Dozer wasnt invited to this one too complicated.
Photo fromThe Design Files article…. in PJ’s. SERIOUSLY!
He definitely does add an element of complexity to things he attends!!!
For Sunrise, I did a demo of theKorean BBQ Beef Ribs, a cookbook exclusive recipe.
Me, I insisted on making something statement!!!
The cover of the STM Magazine
Never thought something like this would happen to me!!!!
Here are links to some of the online version of articles, in case youre interested.
I really like how they tell my story of how this website and mycookbookcame to be!
A photo of my mother and I in the Good Food article. Everybody is convinced my graduation photo will be coming down, to be replaced with this.😂
The first interview published in the media!
Meet Nagi Maehashi from RecipeTin Eatsin the Western Australia Sunday Times Magazine (STM).
A day in the life of Nagi Maehashi of RecipeTin Eatsin The Design Files.
Me at Berkelouw books in Mona Vale, my local bookstore.
Honestly, I must be their first interviewee whose lead photo is in PJs.
Dont worry.
My people are keeping my ego in check.
Case in point the conversation with my mother at the top of this post.
As for sales…..?
And not telling you feels like leaving out a chunk of the story.
So I decided to share.
But that is the first time Ive written those words myself and I think the significance just hit me.
Im a little overwhelmed and still trying to digest it.
Thank you, everyone.
I couldnt have done it without you.
UK to be announced soon!
Life of Dozer
You want it?
Just slobber on it.
