My New Website and Blogiversary!

I have two great reasons to celebrate! Today is the one-year anniversary of my blog (where did the time go?)… AND….on this auspicious day, I am also pleased to announce the birth of my gorgeous new website! Global Vegan Kitchen is officially up and running.

The new url is: http://www.globalvegankitchen.com/ and this site replaces http://www.robinrobertson.com/, which will vanish sometime next week. Be sure to place the new URL in your favorites and bookmarks.

The new site was designed by my friend, long-time vegan, and interactive multimedia designer, Mark Sutton. I’m very excited about the new design and would love to hear your comments. Check it out and let me know what you think.

To add some fizz to the festivities, I’m giving away a cookbook! Just leave a comment on this post, and it will automatically be entered in a drawing for a free copy of Vegan Fire and Spice. (If you already have it, I’ll send you one of my other books.) My cat Gary will choose the winner.

Thanks to all of you for helping to make my first year of blogging a wonderful experience!

  50. So, Gary will choose the winner.
    OK I have 12 rescue cats (last one found on Sat,a kitten hit by a car and left on the side of the road). The new kitten "William" thinks that I deserve to win because some "Fire and Spice" would warm me up like I warmed him up when I rushed him to the vets after I found him. William thinks that Gary will agree, I hope so!
    Thank you for your site. I love it!
