Nadiya on bbc2

Yes, all the spices she introduces to her cooking.

She's a delightful beauty and I love her kitchen and disinterest in calorie content !

If you are into bread making and haven’t tried her pepperoni pull apart, then you are missing a trick. It’s a great favourite in this house, on a Saturday evening in front of the telly, great.

I’ve met Nadiya, her husband and children through work. She’s every bit as delightful as you’d think! Love her programme.

She’s a super presenter, does anyone have her books?

I absolutely love Nadya! She’s the best thing to come out of Bake Off!! Watched her programme last night and am thinking of getting the accompanying book. Just love her use of spices.

BBC Good Food have a 6 months for 99p offer on their app, and Nadia's App Takeover is happening at the moment. I've saved so many of her recipes, it will take me a while to work through them.

I've really enjoyed this series. Hubby didn't use spices in his cooking before watching Nadia. His food is so much tastier now he's dropped his silly prejudices about spice.

She seems such a genuine person

I do like her but as so many of her recipes have nuts or coconut in them I rarely use them, but do love her enthusiasm.
Is anyone like me though and fear that the long scarf dangling near the gas flame is a real fire hazard?

She seems very nice but I will never forget the cake she made for the Queen’s birthday - it was just awful and leaning sideways. The Queen looked at it and you could see she didn’t know what to say. It was just plain purple and gold and poorly presented to be honest.

When you think of all the fantastic cakes the Queen has been presented with over the years and she is confronted with a lob sided creation. 🤣

maybe the cake had been in an accident that wasn't its fault

She has progressed a lot since that cake! Give credit where credits due.

She has progressed a lot since that cake! Give credit where credits due.

But she had just won Bake Off, a national competition, when she made that cake! A programme that is not about cooking but baking.

We have a couple of cake makers in our village and their creations are superb.

If that was the best she could do for the Queen then I think it’s a poor show. She knew millions would see it and comment and most people thought it was poor.

The scarf scares me witless, too. Much preferred the old head covering. It is not just the gas flames, but dipping into food as well.

I do like some of her savoury dishes though. I think she’s a better cook than baker actually.

There was a great curry recipe of hers in Daily Mail weekend magazine recently. My husband has made it three times in a month! Delicious . Tomato soup with spices and meat. Not sure if anything else but tasted great. Better than most supermarket jars of curry sauce.

I think she's lovely, I'll put her book on my Xmas list as I could use some help with spices!

Generally I’m not keen on her recipes as they’re so high in fat and sugar but I’ve made her paneer and chilli bread and was pleased it worked well with my usual gluten free recipe.

I can’t get past that cake she made for the Queen …..

I see praise for this woman - mostly due to her use of spices. Well, that's no good whatsoever to all of us (and from chats it's a fair subset of the population) for whom spice usually = indigestion.

I was baking for the freezer this afternoon and made a gf version of the Westmorland Pepper Cake that was featured on her programme.

Delicious!

😂I know, it was awful.
Have watched a couple of episodes, but not for me! That mess of an Asian take on cottage pie, urrrrgh.🤢
