I’m a home baker who loves watching The Great British Baking Show. I decided to embark on my own Great British Baking Challenge by baking through the Bake Off! I hope you will join me, or at least read along, as I attempt every challenge the contestants on the show are given. On your mark, get set…BAKE!
Nadiya Hussain, winner of the 2015 Great British Bake Off, was honored with the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) as part of Queen Elizabeth’s new year honors list for 2020. Orders of the British Empire are awarded to individuals making distinguished or notable contributions in specific areas of activity, either nationally or regionally. Nadiya, who turned 35 on Christmas Day 2019, was recognized for her “services to broadcasting and the culinary arts.” Since winning GBBO, Nadiya has launched her own homeware collection , hosted several television shows, and written eight cookbooks—as well as a children’s book, a memoir and a novel. She has also been outspoken about her struggles with anxiety and panic disorder, leading her to create a 2019 documentary about her decision to finally seek treatment.
