Nadiya Hussain

Born in Luton to a Bangladeshi family, Nadiya has been baking for 10 years. She now lives in Milton Keynes with her husband and three children.

After wondering why her father only served ice cream for dessert at his restaurant, as desserts aren’t a big feature of mealtimes in Bangladesh, Nadiya was encouraged by a school home economics teacher to develop her skills and now delivers beautiful masterpieces at family occasions. She won the Great British Bake Off in 2015 and released her first book 'Nadiya's Kitchen' in 2016.
