Loreto & Nicoletta Nardelli are the creative couple behind Sugar Love Spices, the blog where they celebrate their Italian heritage and share their love of food, photography and travel.
Loreto Nardelli is Canadian of Italian descent and Nicoletta Nardelli, born and raised in Rome, Italy, is now Canadian by marriage. Sugar Love Spices is the diary of a bustling kitchen where Loreto and Nicoletta combine their passions for savory, sweet and a bit of spice.
The couple shares recipes from their favorite cookbooks and blogs, along with original creations and techniques from their kitchen that include musings on ingredients, ethical farming, beautiful people, great utensils and their experiences with restaurants and travel.
Their love of local organic producers is what defines the couple’s way of life and a respect for the treatment of plants and animals. They also believe in the energy you put into your cooking.
While not professional chefs or photographers, Loreto and Nicoletta love food and photography (and travel), very very much.

Good to hear about someone else from Rome. Not surprised about the pizza choice, mine too!
Are you from Rome too? Wonderful! I usually don’t find anybody from Rome here in Edmonton, Canada. Yes, Pizza is quite a common answer, but pizza in Rome is pretty awesome 🙂 .
