Nikoli’s Kitchen
Welcome everyone! This show is all about my journey of positivity and scratch-made food, inside the kitchen and out. I’m not a chef, I’m just someone extremely passionate about food and trying to make the world a better place, one dish at a time. Every episode, I’ll talk about what’s happening in my world to try to help people, and I’ll share a featured recipe for you to make at home. Thank you so much for listening, and thank you so much for coming on this journey with me.

Welcome everyone to another brand new episode of Nikoli's Kitchen! This week it's our first featured recipe of season five, and we're talking about homemade ravioli! That's scratch-made pasta, marinara, AND cheese filling, hand-stamped and cooked to perfection (when they didn't explode).

The format of the show is changing. It will be singularly focused week to week on a single topic, like you're sitting down with me in the kitchen, maybe while we're eating, maybe while we're cooking, and like I'm just telling you what's going on in my life. I hope that ...
Hello and welcome to what will likely be the final episode of 2022!

I don't know Asian food very well, but I know BBQ sauce, and I was thrilled to try to chuck tamarind and palm sugar into one, and the results absolutely blew me away.

The perfect bowl full of warmth and home for a cold winter evening, this chili is packed with decadent chili flavors, smoky chicken thighs, and rich cheddar cheese...

Buongiorno! Welcome to butchering Italian pronunciation on a new Nikoli's Kitchen! I've really wanted to do some kind of shredded braised beef dish, so I LET THE HEAT HIT THE MEAT and started building a ton of layers of flavor into this Pasta alla Genovese. Originally I wanted to make a version of a dish I made on my old food show a long time ago, a beef and onion ragu, but in researching it I came to find out that this is more wha...
