Never again will she say she can't. Nadiya can and she will.
Nadiya
Hussain's delicious
bakes and desserts,
captivating smile and
sparkling personality made her a hugely popular winner of 2015's Great
British Bake Off.
Her first children's book, Nadiya's Bake Me a Story, hit the bestseller charts in 2016, and was shortlisted for a British Book Award. The follow-up, Bake Me a Festive Story, is out now. She has also published cookbooks for adults and novels, and has three television series to her name, The Chronicles of Nadiya, Nadiya's British Food Adventure and The Big Family Cooking Showdown. Having suffered with panic disorder herself for as long as she can
remember, Nadiya wrote her first picture book, My Monster and Me, to help give children and
parents the tools they need to talk about worries and anxiety.
Nadiya's
family is originally from
Bangladesh, where desserts aren't a feature
of mealtimes. But, encouraged by a school home economics teacher,
Nadiya honed her
skills as a baker over ten years and produces fabulous
bakes and desserts every day. She also loves to write, having won a
National Poetry competition as a child.
Nadiya lives with her husband, Abdal and is mum to three gorgeous children.
