Our Mission...
"To simplify the world of food so you can make
educated choices in the kitchen."
The Founder
Hey there, my name's Michael and I am the creator of Robust Kitchen.
I created this resource to empower those in the kitchen by teaching them the fundamentals of food science. We believe the road to becoming a successful cook is by acquiring a solid understanding of both the science, and the art of food.
Our Awesome Writing Team
Food Scientist
Caitlin is a Ph.D student and chocolate researcher at Colorado State University. Her research in the Food Science program focuses on chocolate fermentation (that’s right, it’s a fermented food!) and small-batch post-harvest processing techniques. When she is not acting in her capacity as resident chocolate guru, she researches other fermented foods and beverages like beer, sausage, and natto. Caitlin was drawn to fermented foods while living in rural Spain for six years, where she was exposed to traditional, time-honored practices of food preservation. At home, she practices Bollywood dance for fun and is followed everywhere by two small pet rabbits.
I truly think there is nothing more meaningful than friends and family gathered around a table of good food.
Kitchen Cleaning Expert
Nadia El-Yaouti is a postgraduate at James Madison University where she studied English and Education. She lives in Central Virginia with her husband and three kids.
Running a household of five and trying to keep her kitchen (and her home) clean doesn't come cheap, but through the years, she's compiled a list of the best hacks (thank you dollar store) and the best products worth the money. The cherry on top? She gets to spend time doing what she loves, researching new and improved methods of kitchen cleaning, and sharing it with her fantastic audience.
Recipe Developer
Kristina is a world-traveling foodie whose mission is to explore and recreate the most delicious cuisine. While still an avid traveler, she's taken culinary refuge in the great country of the Czech Republic. When she's not nannying or exploring the beautiful city of Prague, she's sharing her favorite recipes on the web.
