A tasty excerpt of dishes to try - worth trying if you feel the need to 'update' your evening meals. Great for families and couples alike.

Tried to download this on a number of devices and had no luck - therefore couldn't review

Nadiya has such a lovely voice, it was a pleasure to read this sampler. I'm familiar with her baking from television and while I haven't been able to try out the two recipes featured here, I'm confident that her book will be filled with delicious recipes that anyone can enjoy.

You need to change your format if you want me to review this book

Couldn't open the link so was unable to review. Loving the current to series though so I'm sure the book is just as good...

Some nice recipes look forward to trying out Eton Mess Cheesecake.
I have since received the book as a gift and what a lovely gift it is Nadiya has made cooking a stress free pleasure Wow that's all I can say I have tried a couple of the recipes it's fair to say need to work on presentation. I do make A lot of curries from scratch so presentation not bad still need some work tho. My next recipe I will try from Nadiyas collection is Easy Chicken Tikka Masala. I honestly don't know why I haven't thought of this? it makes so much sense first time I made an authentic Indian curry I remember the thought crossed my mind, it will literally cut out hours off cooking time I am so looking forward to making this will work on presentation and hopefully post a photo in next few days of my culinary skills. Just to show how easy Nadiya has made this recipe.

Some delicious looking recipes that I have urged me to buy the book just so that I can drool over them and attempt to make them for myself

A brilliant sampler leading to a brilliant cook book. I made her cheese scones today, my first attempt. They are very good. My cook book looks like a porcupine with all the little white bookmarks.

Unfortunately it is very hard to review a book from two recipes in a sampler, so most of my thoughts are caught up with Naydia"s reputation both in the Great British Bake Off, where she was brilliant and won the series, and her other achievements.
Back to the sampler for the book - the two recipes, they look easy, well written, but nothing new. Her written style is interesting and I would like to read more

The sample recipes in this ‘taster’ are very tempting – Eton mess cheesecake sounds particularly good – and the photography is lovely, always lit up by Nadiya’s smile. In the introduction, which is written with real warmth, Nadiya’s personality really comes through strongly as she talks about what it means to be British, and the culinary collision that is British food. This is a perfect companion to the TV series of the same name and an excellent recipe book in its own right.

Love this sample. It is the essence of Nadiya, her personality and infectious enthusiasm shines through. Absolutely loving the accompanying TV series. Looking forward to buying the book for myself. Thanks for the sample.

I love Nadiya from the Great British Bake Off. This sample has wonderful photos and the recipes are easy to follow once you convert the metric system to imperial system. I made one of the two recipes that were given with the sample book, and the cheese scones are amazing. I would love the receive the full book to try out more recipes.

A very nice sampler showing just how the full book will be set out. The recipes it features look amazing.

really great book with lovely looking recipes
i haven't tried any yet as I need the time but they look fairly easy enough to do.

A delightful sampler into the recipes and meals created by Nadia, one of the brightest and most watchable of the new TV chefs/bakers.
Delicious recipes which my wife and I have already tried a few. Well, my wife has spent time in the kitchen following the recipes, I've just eaten them!

These recipes are great, easy to do and great tastes.
Writing is nice too.

Thank you for sharing this sampler, however, I don't feel that I can reasonably share a review having only seen two recipes. Admittedly, they look delicious, but it would be unfair to judge the book on just these.
For this reason I shall not be spreading my review on my usual sites.
Hopefully I shall have the opportunity to view the book in its entirety at some time in the future and then I can submit a reasoned review.

Nadiya Hussain won the 2015 Great British Bake Off and now has her own BBC2 cookery series. Travelling around the U.K she gets to visit some of the best growers and producers of British food, as well as its new pioneers.
Inspired by her journey, this accompanying cookery book includes over 120 recipes! With a mix of local British ingredients and with a nudge to her Bangladeshi roots, the book encapsulates Modern Day 21st century Britain and the fusion of classic "British" meals with the influence of some of Nadiya's favourite flavours and ingredients.

The sampler only includes two recipes - but they both sound utterly divine!
Cheese Scones with Chive Butter and Eton Mess Cheesecake - with meringue kisses and dehydrated strawberries to jazz up the top. I've only seen one episode of Nadiya's TV series and the Eton Mess featured on that episode, it looked delicious and slightly more out of the norm than a regular Eton Mess.

The recipes in the book are well laid out, in a clear, concise and easy to follow format. Suitable for even novice cooks such as me! There is a short introduction to each recipe from Nadiya, as to what each recipe means to her and when she discovered each one.
The layout of each recipe takes the same format of -
Prep and cook time
How many people it serves
List of Ingredients
Step by step method - which is what I look for in cookery books
Each recipe in the sampler is also accompanied by a yummy looking picture. So I can't say whether pictures are included with the other 118 recipes in the book.

The book is divided into sections, making it super easy to find a recipe to suit every occasion - whether a snack, a formal dinner or party food.

Some of the other recipes include Masala Eggy Bread, Spiced Bean and Banger Stew, Ploughman's Cheese and Pickle Tart, Jerk Haddock with Jollof Rice, Lamb Bhuna with Garlic Naan, Star Anise Chicken Wings with Chunky Chips and Rosemary Banoffee Pie. They are all motivated and dedicated to her love of family and friends and food, flavour and fun.

I enjoy cookery books with a twist, I also love Bangladeshi/Indian food. Nadiya's baking style on Bake Off was so inventive and clever, I think I will add this book to my Christmas wish list as the recipes and flavours Nadiya uses are right up my street and suit my tastes perfectly.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Penguin UK - Michael Joseph, for the opportunity to read this sampler in return for an honest and unbiased review.

A great preview of interesting recipes from a chef I wasn't familiar with! The couple of recipes included in the sampler looked amazing (as well as Nadiya's personal history) and gave me a fantastic idea for creating striped meringues - makes me want to read the entire book for sure!

Only received a small sampler of this book but so far it looks very good. I have been watching the TV series and it ties in exactly. The intro is as I have seen Nadia describe her mix of food experiences growing up. The recipes are set out very clearly and look easy to follow. I really like that there are photos after the two recipes shown here and assume it would be the sae throughout the book. It is much more inspiring to try a recipe if you can see how it will turn out.
Great start. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the book!
