The British-Bangladeshi Great British Bake Off winner, 40, who is a practising Muslim, released her latest work Rooza last week.
In a moving video that has racked up more than 500,000 views, Nadiya said: 'Deep down inside of me I knew that this book would cause some controversy because there's faith attached to my food.
Fans of the chef, who is often deemed the Bake Off's most successful contestant, were overwhelmingly positive, with people calling it 'life changing' and a 'wonderful idea'.
Nadiya Hussain has revealed she's been the target of 'micro-aggressions' and 'unconscious bias' after unveiling her new Ramadan-inspired cookbook.
I had to convince people that it was a valuable book, that it was needed.
