Finished but two I'm not sure hoe to parse
9a. Nanny doubly immersed in cookbook, did you say? 2,4 Au pair but why

26a Judges nailing down contracts. 8 Treaties but again why? Eat in tries

[Mamyalynne]

Yes

Down - Eat
Judges - Tries

[Lie-in King]

Au pair - "o pair" said, doubly in '(c)oo(kb)oo(k)'

Treaties - 'tries' (judges, nailing; containing) 'eat' (down)

[dannyk13]

26a, -eat(down) inside tries(judges)
