Simple, satisfying, and elegant dishes with an Italian American flair from food and fashion influencer Kit Keenan.

In her debut cookbook, Kit Keenan invites you into her world, where food, family, and creativity intertwine. Raised in New York City and immersed in the chaos of the fashion industry as her mom, Cynthia Rowley, built a global empire, Kit always knew that dinnertime remained the heart of the home. Shaped by the generations of women in her family, she learned how cooking could bring loved ones together. Over time, Kit defined her own culinary point of view, one that echoes her personal style—effortless, distinct, and always chic. Alongside her snapshots of daily life as a West Village girl, Kit shares approachable recipes for cooks of all levels. In Good Taste blends her maternal grandmother’s cherished dishes with her father’s Brooklyn-Italian roots, creating a relaxed take on Italian American cooking.

Filled with beautiful, cheeky photography and personal stories, In Good Taste will inspire you to make every meal a memorable one. Designed for home cooks of all levels, many dishes are ready in under an hour and leave plenty of room for improvisation. Begin with the Antipasti & Apps chapter, featuring bites like Grandma’s Stuffed Artichoke Hearts and Adult Mozz Sticks. For pasta lovers, the Always Al Dente section offers everything from a simple Three-Tomato Spaghetti to a crowd-pleasing Spinach Artichoke Lasagna. In Secondi with Seconds, you’ll find weeknight staples and dinner party hits like Hot Honey Turkey Meatballs, Crispy Cutlets, and Baking Sheet Eggplant Parm. And for a sweet finish, the Nightcaps chapter delivers desserts like a rich Brownie Tiramisu and refreshing Limoncello Italian Ice.
