There was only 17 pages in it and it tells you a bit about her and why she stared cooking,there was two recipes in and they looked good,maybe the full book will be ok,there is pictures in that helps so you know what they should look like.

Sorry. Unable to download this sampler after several attempts, so not possible to review.

I love Nadiya;s food - it so fresh and inspiring. The two recipes in this sampler are the cheese scones with chive butter and eton mess cheesecake. I can't wait to try them. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the series on TV and would consider buying this book to supplement my cookery book obsession.

I am not sure how to review a sampler.... it looks good I guess? I want to read it further? Food (the two recipes) look yummy? Nice pictures?

The book looks nice enough, but the sampler is way to short to really judge this book. A lot of nice fotos but way too few recipies to know how useful it is.

Nadiya Hussain is an accomplished cook that has a story to tell about how she grew up in immigrant's environment which shaped her food choices and style of cooking. The two recipes that I had the chance to check looked yummy. Great photographs.

Sampler provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Even though it was a sampler and there were only 2 recipes, I know I am going to purchase the book when it comes out. I like the format and layout: easy to follow instructions, pictures of the finished dish and the stories that accompanied each recipe.

Fabulous sampler. Can't wait to read the whole thing!

Absolutely adored the two episodes of the programme that the BBC have shown, and the Scones and cheesecake recipes were the perfect ones to include in the sampler because I am dying to try them both out. If the rest of the recipes are as simple as the ones shown already Nadiya is onto a winner.

Different recipes with easy to follow instructions. Well presented

Looks like it will be a great cookbook!! I cannot wait for it, it will definitely be added to my collection. Food looks delicious.

Sold! If all the recipes are as simple and as tasty as the cheese scones I just whipped up, then I can't wait to work my way through this.

Beautiful book with some gorgeous looking recipes - can't wait to give them a try!

Was unable to download the sampler will have to buy the paper book instead I think she is fabulous so I might well do that.

Thanks for this. I'm going to buy the complete book!

Unable to open the sampler so can't leave a review

I think that the book of Nadiyas recipes will be absolutely brilliant! I loved her on 'bake off' and have followed he'd career closely since.
I was really excited to sed her recipe book on NetGalley, but thought that the publishes could have given us more than 2 recipes, and a method, well half of one!
Good luck Nadiya and thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to make cheese scones and Eton mess cheesecake'

I must admit to not watching Great British Bake Off so I haven't followed Nadiya's rise to fame but I know many people who have, including one of my friends who, just yesterday, baked the cheese scones featured in this book and they were an absolute triumph so I had to investigate for myself.

The first thing that strikes me is the friendliness of the writing - you can tell that this is someone without "formal" restaurant training because she doesn't talk down to her readers or claim to know better - there is a real homeliness which is as comforting as her baking, making it a joy just to read even if you don't make any of the recipes. If you do make them though, the layout of the book is nice and easy to use with clear instructions that are not patronising although they do assume a little knowledge to begin with (like "bringing together the dough" of the scone). And the bright and enticing photos also really help you to know what your recipe could turn out to look like which is always a great encouragement - it all seems so "achievable".

As a bit of a dinosaur, my only gripe would be that the measurements are all in grams and millilitres rather than including pints and ounces as well and that would put me off buying it for older relatives but that is purely an age thing and I know that my younger friends would absolutely love to receive this as a gift and it may even tear them away from their pre-packaged ping meals once in a while.

I enjoyed this sampler but it didn't get into the type of recipes I'd enjoy (savoury main courses) for me to full appreicate it. I like the nice clear style with good quality photos and writings from nadia about her family and love of the recipes. I am a little put off to see 17 paragraphs to make cheese scones. I find recipes with such minute detail a little overwhleming to follow and given the choice will go for a shorter, clearer one.

Good selection of recipes and food ideas. Will have to get the full book
