Personal life

Robinson was born in Jacksonville, Florida. As a child her family moved frequently from Jacksonville to St. Augustine, Houston and New Orleans but eventually settled in Memphis, Tennessee. Robinson attended The University of Memphis and graduated in 1999 with a degree in communications.^[1] Robinson eventually decided that her passion was cooking; this decision originated in her part-time job at Maggie's Pharm, a small organic and natural food-derived perfume, body lotion and herbal oil store, located in Memphis.^[1]

In 2004, she moved to New York City and attended The French Culinary Institute; she graduated in November 2005. Along with being a private chef, she spent time working on culinary production teams for several cooking series, including Food Network’s Easy Entertaining with Michael Chiarello and PBS' Everyday Baking for Everyday Food.
