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.

Food Scientist

caitlin-clark

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.

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.
