Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas from sunny Sydney!!
As with every year, it’s not until the last minute that I realise that I don’t have a single merry photo of Dozer and I to send out to wish everyone Happy Holidays.
And so the annual Christmas-selfie-ritual takes place: I gasp with dismay, and in amongst the whirlwind of last minute Christmas baking, present wrapping and deliveries, I hustle Dozer outside for a “quick” selfie before scurrying off to another Christmas gathering.
I set the camera timer, then dash around into position, grab Dozer in a bear hug and try to smile cheerfully (yet serenely) at the camera as it starts flashing.
And as with every other year, it takes many, many takes to get ONE acceptable photo.
This year was a particularly good effort on Dozer’s part. He bowled me over.
Then tried to sleep on me. 🙄
Oops. Haven’t removed the price tag on the dress… (and it’s over a year old!😂)
Why I can’t get organised to get someone to take a photo for me remains a mystery.
Tell me what you’re doing today!! The RecipeTin Family Christmas took place on the weekend because half the family are overseas today which is actually Christmas Day. I took Dozer to the beach this morning to play with a dozen or so of his Golden Retriever friends, I’m writing this up and now I’m about to head off to spend the day with the family of one of my best friends, my “other” family.
🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS!!🎄 Our jeans might be a bit snugger tomorrow, but that’s ok. Diet starts next year! 😂 – Nagi x

Hi Nagi,
Love your recipes..😊
I’ve asked you several times and am wondering if you have received my messages?
Would you mind telling me which hot pot, slow cooker you prefer to use?
I live in Sydney.
Thanks very much
Hi Kathleen, what are you referring to when you say hot pot? My dutch oven? If so – I use Chasseur. I have a Breville fast slow cooker – it’s a multifunction device that is both a slow cooker and pressure cooker. – N x
Adorable! (this goes for both!)
Thanks Malena!
Love your pictures with Dozer. Hope you had a great Christmas. Hope you and your family have a healthy, prosperous New year.
Thanks so much Pamela, Happy New Years to you!

Merry Xmas from sunny Melbourne 🎄
Wishing you and Dozer a wonderful christmas and a terrific 2019. Thanks for all of your gorgeous recipes
You’re welcome Maria, I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year!
Merry Christmas Nagi and Dozer! Your photos made me smile. I made the Maple Glazed Ham yesterday for Christmas Eve (I made it last year, too) and your dry brined turkey with the roasted onion and garlic gravy today. Both turned out fantastic. The turkey was the most flavorful, moist and beautiful turkey I’ve made in my 30+ years of holiday cooking. Thank you for all the work you put into providing awesome fool-proof recipes!
Woah what a compliment!!! I’m so glad it was a hit!
Merry Christmas to you and Dozer! Thanks for sharing these photos. They are all adorable and better than any perfectly posed photos!
😄 Thanks so much Theresa!
The photos are fantastic and so much better than posed! Just think if Dozer didn’t knock you over you never would have noticed the tag! LOL
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Nagi!
😂😂 Merry Christmas Linda!
