Netflix to open eatery featuring British-Bangladeshi chef Nadiya

US streaming giant Netflix is all set to bring its content "from screen to table" with the inauguration of their new popup restaurant, "Netflix Bites" in Los Angeles on June 30.

The restaurant will feature food from popular cooking shows including "Chef‍‍`s Table," "Iron Chef," "Is It Cake?" and "Drink Masters."

Among those taking part are Michelin-starred chefs Dominque Crenn and Curtis Stone. Ming Tsai, an East-West fusion expert, and baker Nadiya Hussain are featured on the menu for the limited-time pop-up.

"Great British Bake Off" series six winner Nadiya Hussain has her own BBC cookery series "Nadiya‍‍`s Simple Spices" available for streaming on BBC Two and iPlayer later this year.

Nadiya will use eight simple spices throughout the series to convert bland dishes into delicious feasts. She‍‍`ll show viewers how to cook with spices effortlessly by combining Bangladeshi influences from her youth with British flavors.

Netflix Bites will be available for a short period of time at Short Stories Hotel on June 30. The pop-up restaurant will be open every day from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. through July 12.

Born in Luton to a Bangladeshi family, Nadiya has been baking for more than 10 years. She now lives in Milton Keynes with her husband and three children.

After wondering why her father only served ice cream for dessert at his restaurant, as desserts aren’t a big feature of mealtimes in Bangladesh, Nadiya was encouraged by a school home economics teacher to develop her skills and now delivers beautiful masterpieces at family occasions. She won the Great British Bake Off in 2015 and released her first book ‍‍`Nadiya‍‍`s Kitchen‍‍` in 2016.
