Laurel Miller

Laurel Miller is an Austin, Texas-based food and travel writer, the editor of Edible Aspen magazine, a former cheesemonger, and the contributing editor at culture: the word on cheese. She also freelances for a variety of regional and national magazines and food, travel, and lifestyle websites.

Laurel grew up on a small California ranch raising dairy goats and a menagerie of other animals, which is what inspired her to educate people about sustainable agriculture and seasonal eating through her business, The Sustainable Kitchen ®. When not sitting in her pajamas in front of her computer, Laurel can be found enjoying the outdoors, or backpacking around the world eating street food and acquiring new and exciting tropical diseases. Cheese for Dummies is her first book.
