Nicky Pellegrino spent childhood summers with her father’s family in southern Italy. There she learnt to love the Italian way of living and eating. When Nicky started writing it was those memories that fuelled her fiction. She is now the author of fourteen delicious novels about Italy, family, friendship, passion and food including the bestselling Recipe For Life, The Food Of Love Cookery School and A Year At Hotel Gondola. Nicky’s stories are enjoyed by readers all around the world and have been translated into more than 12 languages. She lives in Auckland, New Zealand but regularly travels back to Italy to visit family and friends, and to research her books. This generally involves a lot of eating.
