In the trailer for Nadiya Bakes, Hussain says, “For me, baking is my happy place..” as the camera pans over delectable images of freshly baked bread and cakes. She adds, “and I really want it to be yours too which is why I’m returning to my first true love.”
She stresses that the series will cover basic recipes that all bakers will be able to tackle, experienced or not. She describes them as, “basic” and “every day.”

Hussain’s positive energy shines throughout the trailer. It seems as though her series will have all of the greatest components that make The Great British Bake Off the addictive success that it is.
She has a positive, can-do attitude and is positioned in a very relaxing, outdoorsy atmosphere. There are also several drool-worthy shots of icing being drizzled on top of desserts and items being graciously dipped in chocolate.
The Netflix synopsis for Nadiya Bakes is:
Delightful cakes and heavenly breads pop from the oven as Nadiya Hussain returns to baking, her happy place, and spotlights creative kindred spirits.
