Nadia’s Asian Odyssey

BBC1, Monday, 9pm In 2016, a year after winning The Great British Bake Off, Nadiya Hussain filmed The Chronicles of Nadiya, in which she travelled to Bangladesh to explore her culinary roots. She’s embarking on another epic trip in this new, two-part series, in which she explores the people, places and food of Thailand and Cambodia, having discovered she also has links in those countries. Among the sights, sounds and tastes she experiences is learning how to make prahok, a fermented fish paste that is Cambodia’s staple food, during a visit to a floating community on Tonle Sap, the biggest lake in South East Asia and finding out how one of Thailand’s top chefs has developed a new take on the country’s tradition of eating insects.
