China-born and shaped by more than a decade in Dubai, Chef Keren’s story is rooted in the simple joy of sharing food with the people she loves. What began as a childhood connection to flavour  grew into a true calling in Dubai, where baking and pastry—became her way of expressing creativity and care. Choosing culinary school over a traditional path, she followed her passion with heart and intention.
