Nadiya: She'll Be Insufferable Now

I've been making my way through her two Netflix shows. They don't have quite the same chill of GBBO but they are still very pleasant and have a similar aesthetic appeal. Nadiya's shows are just a bit more colorful and Pinterest-y. Sometimes her recipes are great and sometimes they don't really appeal to me. She tends to lose me on the more British recipes (I don't care if it's a cheat trifle, I still don't want trifle) and the stuff that has a slightly more chaotic Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade vibe. Like everything with pre-made croissants so far. 

I do think she makes a wonderful host. I hope she'll stay natural and not get too Food Network-y. Even youtube people can sometimes try to turn on this weird on-camera personality. But anyway, I'm mostly loving both shows so far. I just wish so many recipes didn't have stuff that's hard to get here like double cream, caster sugar, and clotted cream. Those little jars of clotted cream that are just a few ounces are like $8 at Whole Foods. I only buy them for scones.

Our local PBS has just started re-running Nadiya's season on Saturdays.  Now I get the new season Friday on Netflix, and a re-run season on Saturday.

Same!  It's Season 3 here; what is it in Britain/on this forum?

I always thought her facial expressions were OTT and attention-seeking.

Um, when you screw up your face, pop your eyes, and cover your mouth with your hand during the judging of the technical challenge, which is supposed to be anonymous, you kind of give away which bake is yours...

She was my LEAST liked contestant from that season and she was so thirsty for that attention!  I can't stand the fact that she won.  I have to immediately switch over to the finale of the following season just to get the bad taste out of my mouth, literally!  

That’s how I feel about Candace on her season!

I have been enjoying the reruns of Nadiya's British Food Adventures on the Canadian station I get.  They are from years ago but she has some tasty sounding things and goes off on adventures around foods. Today she went out to catch crab and it was her first time on a boat!  There was a recipe that made me drool that had a tart shell made of crisps - potato chips to we Yanks.  It looked so scrummy.  And I had to chuckle when she said that "of your kids don't get enough chocolate or crisps, this recipe is for you".
