A budding chef from Bolton is to make her debut on the latest series of Masterchef tonight. 42-year-old NHS worker Nazya from Bolton will join the heats, with hosts John Torode and Gregg Wallace putting the new recruits through their paces.
Nazya grew up in Pakistan, spending most of her time there in the city of Karachi, before moving to the UK 10 years ago, where she lives with her three daughters, aged 18, 15 and 8.
“I take inspiration from the cuisine of my heritage (Karachi, Pakistan), and love using recipes that have been in my family for years, but then like to add my add twist to them by incorporating different cuisine’s ideas,” she said.
