From vegan options at Knoxville's many restaurants to cruelty-free products and services, Knox Vegan is here to bring you everything plant-based in The Scruffy City. Whether you're a vegan, vegetarian, or veg-friendly local or visitor, welcome! We're glad you're here.
Who loves Vegan Thanksgiving? WE DO! Let’s all admit it—the best part of the Thanksgiving meal has always been the sides anyway. All of which can be easily veganized with a quick search on Google. We are thrilled to announce our first annual KnoxVegan ThanksLiving potluck. And you’re invited! All are welcome— vegans, vegetarians, pescetarians, veg-curious folks, flexitarians, and children, too!
For the past few months, I’ve caught myself enviously looking at the websites of edible cookie dough shops across the country, such as Do in NYC and California Cookie Dough, wishing there were something like that near me. As I was perusing Instagram one day, I happened to see a post for Knox Dough, and my heart fluttered. “Could it be?!”, I thought—and it was!
So, who’s in the mood for a party? You’d better believe we are! On October 6th, 2018, Knoxville Farmed Animal Save is hosting the 1st annual Scruffy City Vegan Fest at the Knoxville Expo Center from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
You know that feeling when you go out of town and have vegan food at a restaurant that is so amazing that you seriously consider moving to a new city just to be close to the best food ever? But then you remember your job, family and home and decide that it's not going to work out. So you consider buying all of the inventory, taking it home and freezing it to savor until the next time you can go back restock? If this all sounds a bit extreme to you, then I think you need to stop by a new Knoxville bakery (after it opens in October) because this is pretty much the story of how Holly Roe decided to open up a vegan bakery franchise in Knoxville.
If you ever wish you could sit around and talk about vegan stuff in a relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere, come join us on June 23rd at the Market Square Juice Bar for Knox Vegan Book Club! We’ll be talking about Sistah Vegan, edited by A. Breeze Harper.
Teaching kids how to cook and bake can be a lot of fun. It’s exciting to see how much they enjoy it, and it’s rewarding for them since they get to eat what they make. Best of all, with vegan cooking and baking, you can snack on most of the ingredients along the way because you don’t have to worry about potentially dangerous undercooked foods.
Win a $25 gift card to Everything Vegan or one of 5 "Save the Planet, Go Vegan" stickers from now until Sunday, October 15th! Read the post for details on how to enter, as well as a review of this badass t-shirt they gave us to try out.
