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. 😂
Please come to New Zealand
Hi Kush! NZ is high on my list of priorities for 2025, I am thinking early autumn! Which cities shall I go to? 🙂 N x
Hi Nagi, such exciting news! I have already preordered Tonight and wondering can I bring it to the launch at Doncaster to be signed? Good luck with the launch and all the travel 🙏
Yes of course Andrea! There is no need to get another there 🙂 Look forward to seeing you! N xx
You can pop past my place…I’m just 3 mins drive from Tea Tree Plaza lol
Enjoy the tour and meeting all the lovely home chefs…I think we have all enjoyed learning from you (and mum and Dozer) and our kitchens are the better for following you.
Will you make lunch for me? 🙂 I just want vegemite toast!!! 😂 N x
Do we have a price for it please? And when you choose the retailer in the pre-order process, will the price be the same for them all?
Hi Ellie! Each store gets to set their own price, and sometimes they have discounts for a certain period of time. You can check the prices by clicking on each retailer on this page here -> https://salesdock.info/tonight-cookbook/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
As for my meet and greets, they are free! 🙂 N x
Hi Ellie! All these events are free 🙂 The price for the pre-order is different for each retailer, it is determined by the retailer! I have no say over the price 🙂 N x
Nagi, will you sign books that have been preordered or only ones sold on the day?
Hi Bert! Of course I will sign books pre ordered, absolutely! I am very insistent that this be the rule for every event I do, it is not fair to force people to buy books at a particular place just because I’m there 🙂 Hope to meet you Bert! N x
Hi Bert! Of course, I will sign books purchased from anywhere 🙂 Bring it or get one on the day! N x
So exciting Nagi! It’s nice to see how well your hard work is paying off. Well done you (and Dozer!)
It’s all Dozer, I’ve just hitched along for the ride
Oh no no NZ tour!
Hi Suezy! NZ is high on my priority list for autumn 2025, I LOVE NZ! One of the most beautiful countries I have been too. Last time I did Hollyford track 3 day walk. STUNNING!
Hi Nagi, exciting news about your upcoming book tour, congrats! Will you be adding NZ to your itinerary anytime soon?
Hi Mel! It is HIGH on my list. I am thinking early autumn 2025, what do you think? Where shall I go? 🙂 N x

Hi Linda! I hear you, I feel like it’s been AGES too!! It should land on your doorstep on 15 October 🙂 Gold Coast is on the list for 2025! N x
I am so looking forward to meeting you at Warringah Mall and of course to meet the brilliant Dozer. I admit to reading the Dozer news before the new recipes!!

Yay I’m so excited! I got mine signed by you at Carindale and loved getting a pic with you! Can’t wait to get my new one signed whilst you are in Queensland!
