Review by owen-watts

I'd literally watch Nadiya descale a teapot. I'd happily watch her just mooching about looking at wildebeest. Bake Off's charismatic winner of yore has had a few of these book tie-in glossy limited formats on the Beeb and they never quite suit her. Alone in an Observer Sunday supplement fake kitchen bedecked with whacky utensils and unctuous close-ups of glugging and mixing and so on. She cooks up a random assortment of things and her own endearing touch is to add an unexpected ingredient like... what if rice crispies were put in a roast? But on her own (here, likely for pandemic reasons) she loses a little something and you long to see her interacting with folk. The spots with guest chefs break up the format a little, but not enough really. But still - I'd watch her board a ship. I'd watch her catching butterflies and so on. She's TV gold.
