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.
