Nadiya starts with one of the first things she learnt to make as a child - cheese scones - which she serves with chive butter. Setting off on her tour of the Home Counties, she visits an asparagus farm on the outskirts of Oxford to help with the harvest, joining young farmer Imogen and learning about how the sandy soil is perfect for asparagus.

Nadiya receives a crash course in harvesting using specially designed asparagus buggies, and challenges Imogen to a buggy race before preparing a welcome thank-you meal for the farming family and the pickers, using the asparagus in a fresh Indian five-spice stir fry.

Her next stop is in Milton Keynes where she meets Turan, a former fireman who now runs a cooking school dedicated to teaching people how to smoke their own food. He shows Nadiya how to build her own cold smoker and smoke some haddock in it, before she then cooks her delicious smoked haddock welsh rarebit, served with a chicory and radish salad.

Her final Home Counties recipe is an Eton Mess cheesecake that marries the famous dessert created at Eton School with a cheesecake base. Nadiya gets creative by making the stunning dessert with candy striped mini meringues and chocolate swirled strawberries.

Nadiya heads to the east of England in search of the stories behind the food she loves to cook and eat. Her adventure starts in Cromer,
where she boards a sea fishing boat for the first time in her life to catch the area's hugely popular and sweet Cromer crabs - but all does not go to plan and she is soon struggling to keep her sea legs. Back on land, she is more in control, teaching Richard the fisherman and his wife Alison how to make her delicious Vietnamese-style crab summer rolls.

Her next stop is to Ely to meet Ross Taylor - a potato farmer who is a man after Nadiya's heart, as he has turned his whole harvest into one of her favourite foods - crisps! Inspired by a trip on his tractor to help plant potatoes and a visit to the crisp factory he has on his farm, Nadiya's famous culinary creativity kicks in and she bakes a unique and ridiculously indulgent pudding - a crisp, chocolate and salted peanut dessert. As she says, 'if your kids aren't getting enough chocolate and crisps in their diet, this is the dessert for them'!

To celebrate her adventures in the east of England, Nadiya also creates two new recipes in her kitchen - a ploughman's cheese and pickle tart, to celebrate all the ploughman who make East Anglia the farming heart of the country, and a herby chicken and potato salad - the perfect lunch for when 'the girls come round'.
