About. My name is Nicky and I love to cook. As much as I love to eat, read cookbooks, go food shopping, host dinners for dear friends and family, experiment with new recipes and – of course – talk about food, I’m not a professional chef by trade. My day job used to revolve around design and the internet business at large, another passion of mine, but has greatly shifted over the last years towards the culinary world: today I’m in the fortunate position of being able to make a living on food-writing, food and travel photography as well as restaurant consulting. delicious:days was launched in early 2005 and is my way of combining my passions for design and food, as well as craft tidbits about Munich, the wonderful Bavarian town we live in, our occasional travel experiences, cookbook reviews and, to cut to the chase, all things delicious.

Co-author, co-photographer and technical genius behind this site is Oliver, we’ve been living together in Munich/Haidhausen since 2000. Nicky & Oliver Blogging.
