I love Nadiya and I loved this look. She is just a delight. And in terms of the cookbook, as off as it sounds but the photos are often what inspire me for recipes and these are really attractive and clear. I can't wait to see what she does next.

I have loved Nadiya since seeing her on Bake Off and have enjoyed subsequent TV shows that she has been part of, so having a peek inside a cookbook is a must.

I suppose the first thing I always look for in cookbooks is, strangely enough, the pictures and I have to say they are top notch, as I would be hoping for in a good cookbook they make me feel hungry just looking at them. The next of course is easy to understand instructions and from the two recipes I am privy to everything seems clear and concise, perfect for a person who needs exact guidelines when going anywhere near an oven.

It was nice to hear Nadiya's take on British food, I wholeheartedly agree with her and I like that it has become an amalgamation of lots of different culture's cuisine. From the introduction, it's easy to spot her love of cooking and where it came from and I almost wish I had been one of the people passing her parent's house because it sounds like it would have been an amazing feast.

Updated after reading the whole book


This book has made me hungry. It’s full of exciting and different recipies that I can’t wait to start making and all from a girl who loves potatoes so is a girl from my heart before I even start at page one. This book feels like you are cooking with an old friend and Nadiyas warmth and humour that we loved in bake off radiates off each page.

I've never heard of Nadiya before and this small sample was a nice opportunity to get to know her. The two recipes seemed interesting but I will need to sample more of her recipes before I buy one of her books.

I was very excited to receive a sample copy of Nadiya´s British Food Adventure. I watched the Great British Bake Off and enjoyed watching Nadiya´s journey throughout the show. What she has accomplished since then, is quite inspirational. I enjoyed reading this sample, the two recipes included looked wonderful and the photographs are very clear and appetising. I would be interested in purchasing this book in the future for myself or family and friends.

Most people know Nadiya Hussein as the novice cook who won The Great British Bake-off in 2015. She now has her own cooking program on the BBC and it’s wonderful that she shares some of her recipes in videos online. This cookbook does justice to all she has done previously in that the recipes are just as imaginative and creative. Photos of the final products are mouth-watering and the recipes appear to be doable. Learning about Nadiya’s childhood and how she got into cooking made for fun reading and really adds to the book.

There is a wonderful mix of flavours, cultures and bright colours in this book. As someone unfamiliar with the series, I was drawn in by the book's cover and mix of recipes, with various national influences. I am also partial t a cookbook that has lots of pictures so you have the visual aim in front of you.

This is not a cookbook for the beginner/speedy chef. If you enjoy mastering complex recipes or if you want inspiration to turn a tried-and-tested classic into something new, then this is the book for you. Taking time to make the chai tea banana cake (adapted by me with coconut flour so that it was GF) was enjoyable and I loved the variation on a fairly standard recipe for me. More complex offerings, such as cayenne eggs benedict, I have not yet tried, but will do with enough time and when the pressure is on to produce something special for brekkie!

Many thanks to NetGalley, Penguin Michael Joseph and Nadiya Hussein for a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I quite enjoyed it. But it's not a recipe book for everyday use. The easy recipes I've tried turned out amazing.

Nadyia’s new book fuses together her heritage. Her charming voice comes through quite clearly in moments of prose, while the recipes take a similar formate to those that appear in tv BakeOff books.

Though this was only a small sample, the recipes were really intriguing, and the photographs were beautiful. I loved Nadiya on the Great British Baking Show, and this book seems wonderful.

Nadiya is absolutely lovely! I love the warm and humour with which she writes. The recipes are beautiful and methods are described well.

This is a sample copy, so this review is based on what was provided.

The photographs look amazing, and the dishes look delicious. The recipes seem easy to follow. I would definitely buy this cookbook.

Nadiya is an engaging writer and personality and I enjoyed this glimpse into her journey around British food.

Nadiya Hussain's 'British Food Adventure' is a great illustration of how you can take classic recipes and give them a little twist. With clear instructions and absolutely beautiful photographs, this is a book I'll be making sure my children handle with gloves on, for sure!

Just a sample. It didnt even work on my kindle and was a total waste of time. I do not see the point in sending chapters to review, how can you possible make a valid opinion of something if you dont see the finished result?

Having just had a taste of this book ;) I want more! It looks amazing and has some very yummy recipes. The book, author and recipes all seem quite down to earth thankfully no pretentious food and recipes (that I saw). I can’t wait to view the rest

I love Nadiya Hussain, straight away from watching her succeed on Bake Off. She is so full of character and that really shows through her book. Her recipes are divine too! A great book for just about anyone.

Thank you for the chance to see a sampler of this book. The Eton Mess cheesecake looks delicious. The sampler would definitely encourage me to buy the book.

The book supplied was just a sampler containing two recipes. This made it difficult to give a full review, so I will not be able to post elsewhere, but I really liked what I read. Nicely illustrated with attractive recipes.
My star rating is based on what I have seen of the book.
Many thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a chance to see the sampler.

This book was everything I expected it to be and a fantastic companion to the tv series. I can't get enough of Nadia's recipes and I loved this collection, can't wait to try them all.
