Since 1997 Keryn has been influenced and immersed in Italian culture and its cuisine. Her Italian in-laws (Franco and Gabriella) have owned bars across Italy – Milan, Trani (Puglia) and Piandimeleto (Le Marche) for the past 40 years. And of course there’s Nonna Marianna (now 96) who started making pasta by hand herself at the age of eight.

Keryn has combined the skills passed on to her with hands-on authentic Italian cooking from renowned local restaurant Osteria La Gatta. Her recipes are inspired by a combination of Osteria La Gatta (Le Marche Italian cooking school) and Nonna Marianna’s traditional Italian authentic homemade cuisine.
