Wonderful ways to use spices.
She cooks the world! Travelling foodie Nici Wickes has the knack of taking great dishes from around the world and making them spectacularly easy for anyone to cook in their own kitchen with minimum fuss. She’s the cheeky chef and presenter of the successful TV show World Kitchen, a cookbook author and the astute restaurant critic and food writer for VIVA (New Zealand Herald’s food, fashion & living mag).
Her expansive ideas and knowledge about food spans anything from street food to Michelin star restaurants:
“I adore eating food from roadside and market stalls when I’m travelling but equally I am enthralled by the theatre of dining in a fabulous restaurant where you get to feel so special. And all the time I am imagining how I can take my favourite dishes and flavours from any meal and cook them once I’m back in my own kitchen. I just love food – cooking and eating it.”
