Nadiya’s Everyday Baking: From Weeknight Dinners to Celebration Cakes, Let Your Oven Do the Work

Hussain (Nadiya Bakes), winner of the Great British Baking Show in 2015 and host of the Nadiya Bakes Netflix series, offers a rich collection of more than 90 sweet and savory baked goods. From quick harissa pita pockets to sweet potato rice paper rolls with coconut maple dip, there are recipes for any occasion or craving. The array of baked treats will appeal to various flavor palates, including the celebratory garden of Eden blondies and summer-friendly orange semolina cake. Savory recipes, such as crunchy okra fries and spiced potato puff pastry cups inspired by Bangladeshi street food, provide a unique twist on familiar dishes. But some bakes are unexpected, notably the Southern fried chicken livers and the nutty tuna cake, which both have textures that are an acquired taste. Still, Hussain’s time-saving shortcuts (like using frozen puff pastry for butterscotch cheesecake coconut bars) and straightforward instructions provide an accessible, no-fuss experience. Bakers of all levels will turn to Hussain for inspiration—and fire up their ovens—time and again. (Oct.)
