Bake Off's Nadiya Hussain has tested EVERY recipe in her new book 🧁
We want to be at her house!
Nadiya Hussain made a name for herself when she won The Great British Bake Off in 2015 and she's just released her brand new book Nadiya Bakes, so Hits Radio Breakfast with Fleur East, James and Producer Matt just had to catch up with her.
Joining us this week, Nadiya revealed the secret behind baking the perfect sponge cake, what it was like starring in her own TV show, and how she tested every single one of her recipes in her new book.
Speaking to Fleur, James and Matt, Nadiya explained that she's made all of the recipes in her new book in her home kitchen, which she juggles with her three teenage kids and various pets!
"At the time when I'm testing it does feel like a million recipes because what I do is - it's not always normal to test every single recipe at home, but I make it a thing that I test every single recipe from my house...
"It's just a very small kitchen in which I feed my children and millions of pets. It all happens in one kitchen, in between all of that I have to test 120 recipes!"
Nadiya went on to explain how her teenage boys seem very happy with all of the cakes she's testing, "They just eat cake for breakfast, they just eat whatever's around," she went on to explain.
The Bake Off star her thoughts on the 'NHS bagel', and what her showstopper would be, which sounds absolutely amazing, so we can't wait to get our hands on the recipe book.
Catch Hits Radio Breakfast with Fleur East, James and Producer Matt on air every weekday from 6am - 10am.
