BBC One Unveils New Documentary

BBC One has announced details of a new one-off documentary, starring Nadiya Hussain.

Nadiya, who won the last series of the Great British Bake Off, will travel from her birthplace in Luton to her family village in the north east of Bangladesh and the journey will see her mix personal revelations with food travelogue. She will also explore the hidden world of Bangladesh and the dishes typical of the country.

The Chronicles Of Nadiya (w/t) is a two-part series from Love Productions. Throughout the documentary, Nadiya will cook dishes from her childhood, share her favourite meals with family and friends, learn new recipes, and discover what has changed on the food scene since her last visit a decade ago for her wedding. She will also meet others who are just as passionate about food as she is.

Patrick Holland, Head of Commissioning, Documentaries, said: "Nadiya's story on Bake Off touched the hearts of the nation. We are delighted that she will be using her cooking skills to take us on a journey to such an extraordinary and changing land."

The Chronicles of Nadiya is produced the Love Productions. The Executive Producer is Kieran Smith, with Clare Paterson, Documentaries, as Commissioning Editor for the BBC.
