Australian by birth, Lyn moved to Italy 30 years ago after studying Italian Language and Literature at university. Over the years, she travelled extensively throughout Italy and marvelled at the marked culinary differences between regions. She soon fell into that wonderful Italian habit of talking about food and swapping recipes with friends, relatives, neighbours and shop owners. Having worked in an international organization promoting agricultural biodiversity for better livelihoods, she is very interested in access to local, organic, seasonal produce and promoting in a small way, a better global food system. She loves foraging and has recently discovered capers growing out of the Roman walls. She is a Jamie Oliver Food Revolution Ambassador.
