Nick’s first cook book, Wild Harvest, was written in 1996 to accompany the TV series of the same name. Containing many of the signature dishes and favourites from his first restaurant, Braeval, it was a huge success. As Nick shared his passion for the Scottish larder, he caught the imagination of the public and as a result a second series was commissioned, with it’s accompanying book, Wild Harvest 2. Both series have been broadcast globally, and thanks to digital television many are able to enjoy the programmes today.

His next filming project, Island Harvest took him around Scotland’s rugged coastline cooking with key Scottish ingredients from Smokies to chanterelles. The resulting fusion of fresh Scottish produce with flavours from all around the world reflect Nick’s energy and love of cooking.
In 2002, Nick’s passion for Scottish salmon was encapsulated in Nick Nairn’s Top 100 salmon recipes. When the title was first suggested, the concern was that creating 100 recipes might be a struggle, but after much testing, tasting and experimenting the question became “Which recipes should I leave out?” An instant best seller, the book spent weeks in the top 5 of the BBC’s Book charts. Nick’s Nairn’s Top 100 Chicken recipes quickly followed and has remained a popular title in the UK and in particular with cook school visitors.
New Scottish Cookery is Nick’s “greatest hits” cook book, comprehensively exploring traditional & modern Scottish recipes. A must for every kitchen, the book is packed with inspiring recipes and also contains loads of information on Scotland's larder and a good list of quality Scottish suppliers.
In 2006, Nick wrote Fish n Tips – a definitive book on fish and shellfish, which also includes tips and techniques on sourcing, preparing and cooking all things fishy. Concurrently, he was working with John and Alan at the Cook School on research for the Nick nairn Cook School Book. 2 years in the writing (albeit much of it debating the definitive techniques and best recipes!) the Cook School book is an essential friend in the kitchen, packed with tips, techniques and delicious recipes. The team at the school are currently doing their research for a second school book, as quite simply we’d need a library to fit all our combined knowledge into! Nick team tests most of his new recipes here at the cook school and may the cook school personnel take this opportunity to confirm the rumour that we have the best staff lunches in the world!
