The world mourns the loss of Dozer, the beloved Golden Retriever and Chief Taste Tester of RecipeTin Eats, who passed away on February 5, 2026, at the age of 13. Dozer's journey with RecipeTin Eats began two years before the website's inception, where he quickly became a beloved member of the team, despite his lack of discernment in taste testing. His playful nature and constant presence in photo shoots, book signings, and events made him an integral part of the brand's identity. Dozer's impact extended beyond the kitchen, as he even had his own tab on RecipeTin Eats' blog, featuring his adorable antics and health updates. He appeared on PlaySchool, graced the cover of The Big Issue, and even starred in a children's book, 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat (With Monsters)' by Adam Simpson. Dozer's health challenges included a surgery for laryngeal paralysis in 2024, which affected his breathing and overall well-being. Despite these setbacks, he remained a cherished companion to Nagi Maehashi, the founder of RecipeTin Eats, who expressed her deep love and gratitude for his unwavering loyalty and unconditional love. Dozer's passing marks the end of an era, but his legacy will live on through the recipes, stories, and memories he helped create.
