What do you see in the picture, who is it, where is it, what is happening?
The picture shows Nadiya Hussain, a famous British-Bangladeshi baker, winning the Great British Bake Off in in 2015.
What is the Great British Bake Off, how do you win it?
Since wining, Nadiya has become famous for her baking skills.
Nadiya loves food and cooking . She says, "Food has the power to bring families together."
Do you agree? Can you give an example?
Nadiya grew up in an immigrant family.
What is an immigrant?
She says when she was growing up her parents never threw any food away.
Why do you think that was?
Today Nadiya encourages people to "cook once, eat twice"
What do you think that means?
It means you find aa way to use any left over food, for example, a carrot soup that you can then turn in to fish curry.
Nadiya is always seen as a positive role model when she appears on television, but she has talked recently about how in the past she suffer from anxiety.
What is anxiety?
Nadiya says when she first won British Bake Off in 2016, as well as receiving lots of praise and support on social media, she also received racist comments.
"There was constant pressure to prove how British I was, how Bangladeshi, how Muslim. And then I realised by trying to please all these different groups, I was just displeasing myself."
Discuss this quote: why are people trying to make Nadia prove all these things, what was the affect on her, why was she trying to please everyone?
"People are going to say I'm not British enough to do a trifle, or not Bangladeshi enough to do certain curries, but I just don't really care. I'm quite happy in my grey area, which is very colourful, by the way."
What does Nadiya mean by her 'grey area'?
How can a grey area be colourful?
What do you think being British enough, or Bangladeshi enough means?
Nadiya uses trifle as an example of typically British food, what else might be seen as typically British?
Can you think of any food that might be seen as typically Bangladeshi? French? Mexican? Greek?
What is Nadiya trying to tell us about food and different cultures?
What can we learn from Nadiya in this story?
Why is this about No Outsiders?
Which British Value is this about?
