The big interview It is really important, especially as women, to show that we are multifaceted

The big interview MY FAVOURITE THINGS THE LAST GREAT BOOK I READ… Glennon Doyle’s Untamed. It’s a wonderful book and it’s really empowering. THE LAST BOXSET I BINGED ON… This Is Us. I love watching shows that pull at my heartstrings. THE PODCAST I LOVED… Tell Them, I Am, hosted by Misha Euceph. It’s relaxing, engaging and allows you to think about other people’s lives as well as your own. THE SONG THAT GETS ME ON THE DANCEFLOOR… Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder On The Dancefloor. It’s such a classic. MY FOODIE WEAKNESS… Bread and cheese. When my sister-in-law comes over, we have a look that means one of us should go and get the cheese. We’ll sit there eating it for ages. MY MOST TREASURED POSSESSION… I have a Qur’an that’s 120 years old. That’s pretty special. THE BEAUTY PRODUCT I SWEAR BY… I use a saffron oil on my face every single night, which is wonderful. You literally can see your skin glow as you apply it. THE PERSON I’D LOVE TO BAKE FOR… My kids tell me I haven’t made it until I’ve baked a cake for Sir David Attenborough – maybe one day!

This is Good Housekeeping’s centenary year – how do you think women’s relationships with cooking have changed in the past century? It’s a strange one, because I grew up in a home where men didn’t cook. As a Bangladeshi Muslim woman, it’s part of my culture that women mostly do the cooking. It’s the same in a lot of cultures. But while so many women cook at home, it’s still men who dominate TV screens. That’s why it’s empowering for me as a woman to say, ‘Guess what? This space isn’t just for men.’ We’re pretty good at cooking at home, so we can definitely do it in front of a camera and have the nation watch. Do you think that things are changing for younger generations? Yes, definitely. When I was growing up, men were revered. They were the ones who were going to carry the family name and who were going to be financially better off than the women, but now the lines have blurred – and that has an impact on parenting. I’m not raising my boys to be stronger than my girl; they are equals. The one difference is that I drum into my daughter the importance of financial independence. We laugh because I tell her, ‘You have to have running-away money – Mamma does!’ She’s 11 going on 16, so she’s very mature and she gets it. If she’s not relying on anyone financially, she’ll have the strength to look after herself. NADIYA WEARS: (OPPOSITE) SHIRT, CRAS AT FENWICK. SKIRT, RIVER ISLAND. SCARF, JANE CARR.

His sense of taste comes and goes since he had Covid, so the other day he made a spice mix for extra flavour on his food, using orange zest, lemon zest, lime zest and chilli flakes. My second son isn’t big into cooking, but he’ll help load the dishwasher, mop and vacuum, and my daughter loves baking. Between them, they have everything covered! How about your husband, Abdal? Is it important to carve out time for just the two of you? He’s not allowed in the kitchen! Not long ago, I asked him to It’s really important, but it’s tough and we’re not always good heat something up and we realised that, for over a year, he’d at it. The other day, I texted Abdal and said, ‘I’ve booked a been heating food in the warming drawer, without the oven table for 6pm – we’re going to a restaurant.’ He replied saying on. He wondered why it took so long! There was another he needed to be home by 8pm for a class, and I almost said, time when I got home and he was on the kitchen island, ‘Fine. Let’s just cancel.’ But I didn’t because I realised it’s all too scraping the ceiling. I asked what had happened and he easy to just give up and do that.
