Nici Wickes is a celebrated New Zealand food writer, broadcaster and author. Her most recent cookbooks, A Quiet Kitchen and More from A Quiet Kitchen, blend recipes with candid reflections on living alone, embracing midlife and finding joy in simplicity. Nici gained national recognition as the host of the travel and cooking TV series World Kitchen. As a former food editor for Viva (NZ Herald) and New Zealand Woman’s Weekly and through her current weekly column in Canvas (NZ Herald), her recipes and writing resonate hugely with home cooks. She inspires others with her honest storytelling and passion for food and life and her work encourages readers to find contentment in solitude and the everyday act of cooking.
