How it works.
Three simple steps, only pay when you've confirmed your recipe list. Unlimited revisions included.
1Tell us how you eat
Allergies, diets, who you're cooking for, the ingredients you can't stand. Two minutes, mostly tapping.
2See all your recipes
Your recipes are written while you wait, in about twenty seconds. Read every one, swap any that don't appeal.
3We make the book
Written up in full, illustrated, checked by a person, then printed and bound in the UK. Usually to print within 72 hours.

Our customers have taste
Five books, five completely different problems. Every one of these started as a questionnaire and a list of recipes on screen.
Delicious Recipes
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)
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 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. You choose your recipes in about twenty seconds, 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.
See your recipes before you spend a penny.
Two minutes of questions. Your whole list on screen. A hardback that exists exactly once.
