When I started at VegWeb in June of 2009, I had no idea what I was in for. I mean, I knew I was working for the very best recipe site in the world, with a vibrant community, and endless possibilities for growth and engagement. But I didn't know that I would make lifelong friends, travel all over in search of amazing new food, and cook more mind-blowing dishes that you can wag a fork at. It's been a truly extraordinary journey.

It is with a heavy heart (and a full stomach), that I move on from my post as Webmistress here at VegWeb. I leave you in the beyond capable hands of Webmistress Melissa [1]—seriously, say hi! She is awesome! And, of course, VegWeb Maven Colleen, who has been my brilliant partner in crime here on VegWeb for the last five years. These two ladies are about to take VegWeb to the next level, and I'm excited to be part of that journey. I'll still be on the site—always cruising for the latest vegan lasagna recipe or new tips on where to travel next—so please reach out and say hi anytime.

Your friend in delicious food,

Webmistress Laura
