Why people come to us

Our diets are as unique as we are. Here's what seven people asked for, and the book each one got.

Real questionnaires, and the cookbooks we created
A new diagnosisI was diagnosed coeliac 6 months ago and I'm grieving all my old favourites — proper pasta bakes, crusty bread, a real pizza night.

I've always wanted to eat more seafood — but i'm a bit picky. I don't like prawns, or tuna. I also don't want mega creamy, high calorie stuff. I filled in the questionnaire and was greeted with 30 amazing low cal recipes to help me eat more seafood!

Family Traybakes

I'm the king of the tray bake, but only know about 5 tray bakes 😂 i loaded up this cookbook with all of the stuff i know my picky family will like, and there isnt a single dish they won't eat so far.

Make it Asian (but no spice)

Make it Asian (but no spice)

I love asian food but hate how it's always so spicey. Most asian recipe books ive bought are just begging for chilli at every corner. I told 99plates this, and the recipe is full of adventurous, flavoursome dishes WITHOUT THE SPICE!

Tasty Gains

I'm quite picky, i know what i like and what i don't, and usually save reels on IG for gym recipes. When this came along i thought why not. The recipes are great, thanks to the questionnaire i do love them all. It's my first and only recipe book.

This Book Saved my family £££

I got fed up spending a fortune cooking three different meals a night because we all have different tastes. I told 99plates what they all hate and love, and specified I wanted budget ingredients. This means I've got a book full of foods we all eat — and they're mega cheap to make.

Before you ask

What am I getting in the post?

Not a PDF, not a ring binder, not something printed at home. A proper hardback that sits on the shelf with the ones you already own.

What if I don't like the recipes?

You'll never find out after the fact. You read every recipe before you pay, and you can swap any of them there and then. If the whole list feels wrong, change your answers and we'll write a different one.

How is my allergy actually handled?

Every recipe is checked against what you told us before it appears on your screen. Anything that breaks a restriction is replaced before you ever see it, and the finished book is read by a person before printing.

How long does it take to arrive?

Ten working days at the outside. Your recipes are written in minutes, we write and illustrate the book over the next one to three days, and it's usually at the printer within 72 hours.

Can I buy it for someone without knowing their answers?

Yes — that is what the gift card is for. They get a code by email, answer the questions themselves and read their own recipes before spending it. Every amount covers a full edition, so there is nothing for them to top up.

Is it obvious it's a gift?

Only to the person opening it. Books ship in plain packaging with no prices, and invoices go by email. Their name is on the cover and the first page.

Can I cook these recipes with what I've got?

We only assume an oven and a hob. Anything else, from an air fryer to a stand mixer, is used only if you told us you own it.

Do you ship outside the UK?

Not yet. Everything is printed and bound in the UK and we currently deliver within the UK only.
