Item Description

Why go out for dinner when it can be professionally prepared right in the comfort of your own home by A Voce Executive Chef, Missy Robbins - one of Food & Wine Magazine's Best New Chefs 2010. She'll even show up with a bottle of wine to be pared with the meal.

Missy Robbins took over as executive chef at A Voce in September 2009 with her style of cooking that's both neatly composed and rustic Italian. In one appetizer, for example, huge rectangular planks of seared trumpet royal mushrooms are gently set on a cloudlike hazelnut fonduta and simply garnished with greens and truffles. It may look like a salad on the plate, but served with a glass of red wine, it eats like a steak dinner. At her last chef gig—Spiaggia in Chicago—Robbins attracted the attention of Barack and Michelle Obama, who were regulars. And in today's New York Times, Frank Bruni does a little hail-to-the-chef thing: “As we all wonder whether our new president has the requisite judgment to steer us away from economic catastrophe,” he writes, “we can take some comfort from this: he has the requisite judgment to appreciate Missy Robbins.” The chef is also a devout student of culinary history, and uses lunchtime to cook more hearty, traditional Italian food.
