Don’t chuck: Check out Nadiya’s waste-not wisdom

I’ll never forget the feeling of magic the first time I saw a cake being made. It was my home economics class in the first year of high school. At home, my mum never cooked in the oven – she used it to store frying pans. So when I saw the teacher putting this mixture in the cupboard, I thought she’d lost it. Then out comes this cake. I thought she was a sorceress. Hussain was a guest on BBC One's The Graham Norton Show on 9 December 2016 and 12 November 2021.

Besides those two, we have Bubblee and Mae. Now these two are determined and dream of being an artist in London and a YouTube star. I definitely liked each sister because they brought something different to the book. They all had pros and cons that made them feel realistic and easy to relate to. I also really liked how I got to know more about Bangladeshi roots throughout this. Mostly because I do have friends from that area and it's always interesting to hear about. On 25 December, Hussain made a cameo appearance in the BBC One show Michael McIntyre's Big Christmas Show recorded at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.

HuffPost . Retrieved 23 February 2017.I grew up in a house with my mum and dad, and 5 siblings. Believe me, being one of six kept our home lively. I have two older sisters, a younger sister and 2 younger brothers. There was always someone to talk to. There was always someone to fight with. The best thing was, that there was always someone. What I did learn about myself very early on was that I didn’t want to have 6 kids! Methven, Nicola (24 December 2016). "Great British Book Off: Paul Hollywood's recipes flop, but Mary Berry's and Nadiya Hussain's sell like hot cakes". The Mirror . Retrieved 24 December 2016. I was the little curly haired girl who would sit in defiance when all the other kids in class would talk about how to wreak havoc with the supply teacher. I would sit and hide under my curly hair and say ‘no’. There’s also a brother, Jay, but he’s not really around. He’s not a very good son or brother but he’s the only boy and mom and dad think the world of him.

Firstly, let me make clear my bias. I am a lover of The Great British Bakeoff, and I'm still upset about the changes to the show coming for the next series and don't know how I feel about it, and one of our family favourites from the show was Nadiya, my Dad called it right at the start, he thought there was something about her and sure enough he was right. When I saw this book at the library there was very little chance I wasn't going to love it. Waite-Taylor, Eva (19 March 2021).

Fatima just doesn't fit in and cannot just seem to pass her driving test. Farah is happyily married but longs for a baby. Bubblee dares to be different and has no tolerance to culture and Mae is coping with being a social media star. The sisters have never been more different but something happens and they learn about themselves, each other, life, love and most importantly, they learn that sometimes, family isn't just what you have, it's exactly what you need. 😁 Hussain, Nadiya (December 2015).

Nadiya has opened up about the sexual abuse she suffered as a child and her suicide attempt aged 10, and written about them in her memoir Finding My Voice. In a 2020 interview, she explained how these experiences have shaped who she is today: "Our past and experiences are the things we always carry around with us. For such a long time I tried to smile, wear colourful clothes and ignore the fact that those scars were there. Their parents are rather traditional, and arguably stereotypical, especially when it comes to constantly trying to make sure their daughters get married or have children. Early on I noticed I was giggling quite often at the dialogue, and I really enjoyed reading a family experience that is so different in some respects to my own, but equally that I could see some big similarities with my own religion.
