Nici Wickes
Welcome to World Kitchen. A fast paced contemporary food/travel series, where presenter Nici Wickes travels the world to gain ideas and inspiration for new dishes to recreate in her kitchen back home.
The series showcases a wide variety of international food experiences - from glamorous Michelin star restaurants to humble back alley food stalls. Nici samples and cooks local cuisine in settings ranging from restaurant kitchens to local home kitchens.
International recipes are brought back into Nici's kitchen in NZ, where she simplifies and adapts to local ingredients. You can find all the recipes from Series 1, 2 & 3 on www.myrecipebook.co.nz, courtesy of Tegel Foods Ltd.
Caramelised Apple Tarts
This is a simplified version of Tarte Tatin - a caramelised upside-down apple tart made famous by the Tatin sisters from south of the Loire. You can prepare most of this version beforehand, which makes for easy entertaining.
Caribbean Black Cakes
This recipe is a version of the black cakes so loved in Trinidad for special occasions – packed full of dried fruit and rum, it’s a winner.

Chargrilled Chilli Chicken
This can be prepared ahead of time and served either hot or cold - it's ideal for a crowd. The chicken is pretty spicy but, served alongside a cooling salad or salsa, it's just right.
Chicken and Mushroom Rice Balls
These delicious little morsels make fantastic tapas. They are a bit time-consuming to make but are just the thing to impress guests.
