About this ebook

'A fascinating from-the-heart memoir' Nigel Slater
'A revelatory honest read' Red magazine

FUNNY, HEART-WRENCHING, GENEROUS AND TRUE, IN FINDING MY VOICE NADIYA HUSSAIN SHARES THE UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES AND EXPERIENCES THAT HAVE MADE HER THE WOMAN SHE IS TODAY.

'I am writing this for everyone who was told no. 'No, you are not rich enough. No, that is not credible. No, you can't. No, you won't. No, you are not allowed. No, that is not appropriate.

I was told, "No, you do not belong."

Finally, I am saying, "Yes, I do."'

From the moment Nadiya Hussain was born, she has been questioning her role in life. But the irony is, she never wanted to be a trailblazer. She just wanted to follow a 'normal' path. But life kept telling her 'you can't'.

And so she found her own way, beyond anything she dared to dream . . .

In this wise, witty, open-hearted book, Nadiya lets us into her life and, for the first time, shares the memories and experiences that have shaped her into the woman and role-model that she is today, alongside her personal recipes and the stories they tell.

'We all have a voice. Yours might be loud and strong, or quiet yet insistent. I have always tried to use mine for the right reasons.'

Hi Nadiya. Wow! you certainly wrote a very good book and you definitely did not pull any punches. good for you girl. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and will look at you differently when I watch your program tonight. A lady who shows how different things are in many families and one who isn't afraid of telling it how it is in the strongest words. You used the words I would have used. good for you. See you tonight love in Melbourne Australia. Helen Little. Melbourne.😉😉😉😉😉💝
