About Me

Nicki is an award-winning food blogger from South Wales. Her Welsh-Italian heritage meant a love of food was inevitable and from a young age she enjoyed cooking with her family – making everything from pizza and gnocchi to teisen lap.

Since starting Cardiff Bites in 2006, she has written for BBC Olive Magazine and Visit Wales, helped cover the Taste London festival for The Guardian and appeared on BBC Wales’ consumer affairs programme, X-Ray.

In 2011, Nicki was named Best Food and Drink Blogger at the Wales Blog Awards, organised by Media Wales, and also took up a judging role at the Wales the True Taste Awards, organised by the Welsh Government.

After a six year hiatus, Cardiff Bites is back and keen to explore the city she calls home with fresh eyes.

A passionate supporter of independent restaurants and keen amateur cook, Nicki lives in Cardiff with her husband Andy and their cat, Dixie.
