About Kit an’ Kin Kit an’ Kin organically grew from Anya’s desire to connect with her community on Caribbean heritage and culture. As a graduate of Culinary Institute of America, Anya looked no further than her parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to continue her culinary education on the Trinidadian and Jamaican foods she lovingly ate growing up. The intergenerational exchange and stories passed down in the kitchen amidst roti clapping, stews simmering, and spices grinding became the inspiration and basis of Kit an’ Kin with Anya’s family at the helm. Kit an’ Kin operates as a culinary studio and catering kitchen with cultural programming, events, and soon-to-be online marketplace featuring homecooked meals, pepper sauce, art prints, and her debut children’s cookbook, Ackee & Saltfish. Kit an’ Kin continues to teach, document, and proudly represent Caribbeanness to the masses through food and storytelling. Follow their journey and #feastwiththefamily.
