Impress in an Instant

Nadiya shares her top time-saving recipes for impressing guests, including an effortless sticky satay chicken supper and raspberry cheesecake croissants that make an instant slap-up breakfast.

With unsociable working hours, busy lifestyles and complicated family routines, it is not always easy to make time to cook delicious meals. Nadiya Hussain comes to the rescue with time-saving recipes and ingenious kitchen tips to make sure that everyone has more time to spend doing the things they love, with the people they love.

Entertaining can be stressful so in this episode, Nadiya shares her favourite time-saving recipes to take the stress out of impressing guests. Crisp and luxurious raspberry cheesecake croissants make a brilliant slap-up breakfast to lay on for guests at the drop of a hat, while a speedy satay chicken tray bake takes just ten minutes of your time to blow your guests away. And a fuss-free cheats trifle with creamy chia seeds, yoghurt, fresh fruit and sweet brioche oozes style, confidence and yumminess with barely any effort at all.

On the road, Nadiya joins the team at Yeo Valley Farm in Somerset’s rolling hills, to see how they do their bit to meet the UK’s insatiable demand for yoghurt. And in Walsall, near Birmingham Nadiya’s shortcut curry with spicy jackfruit and speedy naan gives a super busy novice cook the family dinner party she’s always dreamed of.
