Today The Great British Bake (烘焙) Off winner Nadiya tells us all about her life and her new book Bake Me a Story.
Q：Could you tell us something about Bake Me a Story?
A：My kids pester (纠缠) me in the kitchen while I'm cooking and that's when the idea came to me — what if I wrote a book that stays in the kitchen with stories that are matched with recipes (食谱)？So the idea is that parents and kids can enjoy cooking together in the kitchen and read a story while they wait for the food to cook.
Q：You baked the Queen's birthday cake! How was it?
A：It was a great honor to bake for the Queen and to be a part of history. I would love to bake for David Attenborough too!
Q：What is the first thing you learnt to cook?
A：One of the first things I learnt to cook was rice.I know that it is one of the hardest things to master when learning to cook. Rice being a staple (主食) in my family, it was important to learn how to make that before anything else.
Q：It takes so long to bake a cake, is it annoying (惹人生气的) when it gets eaten so quickly?
A：Of course not！That's the best bit — to see the look on people's faces and the noises they make when eating it makes all the hard work worth it.
Q：Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to get into baking?
A：My biggest and most encouraging advice is don't be worried about the mess — it can be cleared up! Try things out in the kitchen and have fun!
