I've had the pleasure of illustrating the debut cookbook from Sam Nixon

Recipes from the Heart, for a Heartwarming Season

Publication date – September 2026

A beautiful cookbook featuring hearty, comforting, family recipes for the ultimate cosy season.

Food content creator and TV and radio presenter Sam Nixon has always nurtured a love of cookery and since becoming a Celebrity MasterChef finalist, he has established a loyal foodie following.

Sam’s debut cookbook features over 90 autumnal recipes that capture the magic of his favourite season, sharing warming soups, stews, pies and puds alongside irresistible festive flavours for Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas.

Autumn invites you to celebrate the beauty in slowing down and settling in with food that warms your belly, heart and soul.
