Newlight Breadworks CEO Stephen Robinson

What is your cooking philosophy?

Simpler is usually better. Don’t try to overdo it.

What is your favorite spot in the Hamptons?

I love to hang out at Rita in Springs. They have a great happy hour deal, and they open at 4p.m. some days, so I can take my kids before bedtime. When I’m ready for date night, I almost invariably go to Il Buco al Mare.

Where do you draw your inspiration from?

I’m from the Pacific Northwest, so I try to channel the rustic breads that I grew up eating from Macrina Bakery, and some other great ones in the Seattle area. I also have done several trips to Germany, and there’s a bakery called Zeit für Brot that I fell in love with.

What new food trends are you seeing?

I think more people are just eating what they want to eat, and not being too concerned about health trends and diets. I believe that if you eat what you want in moderation, and stay active, it’ll all work out.

What is your comfort food and why?

The cacio e pepe from Il Buco al Mare. It’s not always on the menu, but it’s always wonderful when I can get it. Pair it with a negroni.

What is your favorite dish to make?

I’ve been making teriyaki chicken about once a month. It brings me back to my Seattle roots.

What do you plan to serve at the event?

We will have a great assortment of sourdough items, and our world-famous pretzels. Stop by at the event, and I’ll walk you through our lineup.
