It’s August which means unfortunately that the end of the summer is around the corner. On the positive side, with each passing day in August means we’re one day closer to this year’s Greenwich Wine & Food Festival taking place September 23-24.

Ten local chefs have been named to this year’s class of Most Innovative Chefs. These culinary stars will be honored at the Master Chef Dinner on Friday, September 23, where they will prepare their unique dishes and interact one-on-one with festival guests. As we lead up to the festival, we’ll feature some of these chefs.

One of this year’s Most Innovative Chefs is Robin Selden. She is the Managing Partner and Executive Chef of Marcia Selden Catering, a leading catering company located in Stamford, CT and New York, NY.

FP: What are some of your guilty pleasures? We call them foodie pleasures, hence the name of our blog.

RS: Love Good old Crunchy Peanut Butter & Jelly, Truffle Fries, Wood Oven Pizza and our amazing Churros…my mouth is watering just answering this question! #yum

FP: Yum indeed! If you could get on a plane tomorrow and visit any place just for its food, where would it be?  

RS: Tuscany without hesitation!

FP: Sounds like a delicious destination! Outside of being a chef, what are some of your interests and hobbies? 

RS: I LOVE anything to do with my 13 year old twins, Photography, Travel & Tennis.

FP: What is the one item in the kitchen that you can’t do without? 

RS: Obsessed with my Shun knives!

FP: What three words would your friends and family use to describe you? 

RS: Passionate, Creative & Authentic

FP: Thank you for your time. Congrats again on being named one of the Most Innovative Chefs of the Year by Serendipity Magazine. We look forward to seeing you at Greenwich Wine & Food!
