When it comes to her home pantry, Missy Robbins, renowned Chef and Owner of Brooklyn’s beloved Lilia and Misi, stocks her shelves like her restaurants – with basics to satisfy any desired taste.

“I’m driven by cravings and ingredient inspiration – I’m just not a meal planner,” admits the James Beard award winner in her cookbook, “Breakfast, Lunch Dinner….Life” written after she stepped away from her high profile job running and acquiring Michelin stars in the New York kitchens of A Voce Madison and A Voce Columbus. (Both are now permanently closed). She recently launched a fresh pasta and an Italian grocery service, MISIPASTA.
