The schedule for the first leg of the TONIGHT book tour is now live, and I’m so excited to share it with you! Is your city on the list? Let’s hang out, take selfies, chat food, sign books…and for some, meet Dozer!!
I have created an Events page which I will keep updated throughout the book tour, including adding new events as they are booked.
It’s time for my reward!
Making cookbooks is hard work.
But now the FUN part starts!!!
Meeting readers in real life was my favourite part of the whole experience of my first cookbook DINNER. After all those years corresponding on my website, the chance to hear first hand stories and share anecdotes, to exclaim over our favourite recipes and laugh over kitchen disasters felt like chatting to friends I have known all my life!
And now, finally, we are mere weeks away from my second cookbook TONIGHT hitting shelves around the world. Then I get to celebrate with you on the book tour!🥳
TONIGHT Book Tour dates
Bring your book for signing, or purchase a book from a retailer on the day!
I have created an Events page which I will keep updated with any changes to the book tour. You can also find the latest information on the Westfield website for Westfield hosted events.
TONIGHT release dates
TONIGHT is now available for pre-order here which means it will be delivered straight to your door on the release date in your country! On the release date, it will be available in stores as well. Here are the release dates:
Australian and New Zealand: Tuesday 15th October
UK: Thursday 17th October
US and Canada: Tuesday 29th October
Book tour FAQ – WILL DOZER BE THERE??
I am so excited to announce that Dozer will be attending all Sydney and Canberra events! 🥰 For other interstate events, I’m so sorry, but I just can’t bring myself to put Dozer in cargo on planes.
Now, if anyone has a contact at an airline and can get a special exemption for Dozer to sit beside me in the cabin, I would be delighted to bring Dozer with me to all the book tour events around Australia!! He’s ready and willing to travel. 😉
Other less important book tour FAQ
As in – less important than knowing Dozer’s book tour attendance. Dozer trumps all other details! 😂
WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK TOUR?
To meet you!!! We get to chat, I can sign your book and we can take selfies!
MY COUNTRY OR CITY ISN’T ON THE LIST 😭
Please don’t despair! This is just the first leg. We have more Australian cities in the works for early 2025 (WA! Tassie!), and I am in discussions with my international publishers about visiting North America and the UK. International book tours are a big deal!
I will keep the Events page updated with details as well as making announcements here on my website, in my newsletter (it’s free!), on Instagram and Facebook.
WHAT IS WESTFIELD’S INVOLVEMENT?
All the above listed book tours events are being hosted by Westfield which is so fantastic as it means they will be professionally organised events! The signings will be held in the centre stage open area of Westfield shopping centres where you often see events held.
You can also find up to date information on my book tour on the Westfield website (for Westfield hosted events).
DO I HAVE TO PAY TO ATTEND?
No! They are free, public events. And I hate to say this (head swell and all) but based on past public events, I do suggest arriving early because the lines do tend to get a bit long.
how can i get a signed book if i can’t attend any of the events?
There will be a limited number of signed copies of my book sold at selected retailers in all the countries my book is released (Australia, NZ, UK, US, Canada). I will let you know which retailers once I know!
Wait…. there’s more???
Yes there is more to come! I have some exciting surprises lined up to celebrate the launch of TONIGHT that I’m busting to tell you about. Keeping secrets is not my strength! I’m digging deep to hold back from telling you everything in this post. 😂
I look forward to finally meeting you, or meeting you again! – Nagi x
Life of Dozer
I’m told giant versions of the image below are going to be plastered up in Westfield shopping centres all across Australia. I hope they didn’t photoshop out the foamy slobber-bubble on his tongue. 😂
Congratulations on your new book Nagi. You certainly deserve to do well with your books. I’m an ‘older’ (70 and still cooking) home cook and I am so delighted that you are bringing doable, fresh, interesting and delicious meals to a new generation of families. Very well done.
Best wishes
Anne
Hey! I think it’d be beneficial to mention that you’re only able to greet 150 people on the tour. I was a little disappointed to be told the line was cut off 20 minutes after start time of a 2 hour event 🙁
I was really looking forward to getting my book signed. I understand, but yeah, I think others might appreciate a heads up.
Nagi – when do we get to see you in NZ. Your recipes never let me down 🙂
Auckland, NZ please! NZ is just across the ditch, you have a lot of fans here 🙂
Hi Nagi and Dozer,
Just love your new book. I make my menu each week from your website and 2 books . Already l have made four things out of your new book, and we can say Scrumptious, delicious , plate licking quality my husband says. Thankyou , and congratulations also on your foodbank initiative . l co ordinate a community foodbank and know how much work it takes but the reward of providing food so families can eat( a basic requirement) is heart warming.
Keep up the great work , and yummy recipes . Please take time out for yourself so you can “ smell the roses”
Nola and family
My book was a surprise gift from my daughter as a thank you.
BEST GIFT EVER!
Weighing up who I love more…Dozer or the daughter!
Meanwhile, my book has pride of place, off the bookshelf and in the kitchen.
Dozer! You have done an amazing job – with Nagi’s help. If the first book was successful, this next one will be off the charts! You and Nagi are a dream team and I congratulate you for an amazing book – I was blown away by what it contains. Of course, the best pages are the ones with you!
Just got my book and have looked through it. Love it with so many ideas. I am so excited to cook the vegetable and salad options. I love roast veggies as meal prep for the week.
My cookbook has just arrived! Thank you Nagi. So excited and can’t wait to start cooking. I’ve already selected about 20 recipes so I’ll be busy cooking up a storm over the next few weeks. Time to hide the scales.
Oh my very excited my book arrived and I must say it has not disappointed. I cant wait to start cooking the recipes – very practical easy ideas especially for those midweek what will we have??? THANK YOU Nagi and Dozer
I volunteer to cook for a widows group of 20 and I find all your recipes amazing with the hover numbers. Plus all recipes are a winner every time. Why can’t I print them anymore though? Also this is the third time I have asked to join your club with no reply.
Any idea which retailers will have the signed copies yet Nagi?!
Congratulations on your new book Nagi. Looking forward to meeting you at Mt Gravatt. Love your recipes !
Please come to Cymru!!!!!
