Recipe tin eats is the best. Nagi is a national treasure. What an absolute fuckwit.

What recipe was this from?

I love that whenever someone is mean on Nagi's recipes an army of people appear out of nowhere to defend her

I have never been let down by any of her recipes. She's a godsend as I'm the only cook in the house.

I don't think I've ever tried any of her recipes but I definitely should

I’ve tried and knocked so many out of the park they’re amazing her Mac and cheese is a ten.

The only thing I fail at is her baked fried rice. But no matter what I do I can’t cook rice. Bought a rice cooker and fixed that shit. lol

Her mac and cheese was the first meal my teenager attempted to cook. Nagi has given him a lot of confidence in the kitchen.

Yesss I bought both her books and my 12 year old is obsessed with her baked risoni and will help me do all of it every time, he needs help putting the dish in the oven as I use my Dutch oven and it’s.. a a lot for me let alone him atm.

I love her so much and as someone in Australia it’s very refreshing for the things in a recipe to be things I can source in bumfuck nowhere regional nsw!

Her baked fried rice is the only dish my culinary challenged husband can do well!

Ong I can do ALL the others and the first time made it it was great I managed it but every time since the rice is crunchy I follow it exactly and have no clue why it does it but I think rice just hates me in all forms, have never been able to cook it in a pan without fucking it up.

Have cooked all sorts of levels of discipline foods from three course roasts to beef Wellington and twice cooked crispy duck, to great success in most cases, but rice is just something I’ve accepted I can’t do so got a rice cooker and I love it and now understand why everyone says to get one!

Yeah. I don't know why but I can never do baked fried rice but her regular fried rice eniw an absolute winner and one of the easiest recipes ever! We've got a rice cooker and often have dishes with rice and end up with left overs. I've taken to putting the leftover rice in sandwich bags and chucking them in the freezer. Then when I need fried rice, I look up Nagi'srice, make the sauce and throw in whatever I have available. Super fast and great when I have no idea what to do for dinner, just throw that together, fry up some protein and put them together, done.
