Twiiiiinkie

Last night I ran into my friend Kimberly at Pizza Plus. In fact, every time I go there I run into someone I know, and it’s getting a little embarrassing.

Anyway, Kimberly is a former Satya staffer, and when they closed their doors she started up her own baking business called Vegan Honey. Her Etsy store features childhood favorites, like Twinkies and Chocodiles. “I just make whatever I know I want to eat.” She told me yesterday, completely oblivious to the fact that I was secretly interviewing her for my blog.

Some of her other tasty offerings are Spiced Apple Turnovers, Coney Island Chocolate Dippers (chocolaty sprinkled pretzel rods), and Pecan Sticky Bombs. She even makes treats for your doggy! And to sweeten the pot, 5% of the profits go to animal advocacy causes. So go support one of the hardest working vegans in Brooklyn, as well as your sweet tooth. She ships all over the US and Canada.

Josh says “Just 4 extra dollars will help feed me for about 2 hours.” Won’t you please support vegan business?

To be honest, we are thrilled with our Amazon stats. Veganomicon is currently the #1 vegan cookbook and #8 in cookbooks over all. There is definitely something thrilling about beating Anthony Bourdain (literally) and Mark Bittman (figuratively) and anyone else who receives endless pimping from the NY Times and The Food Network.

But we want to remind you to support vegan businesses when you buy Veganomicon. Maybe you already purchased yours, but Hannukah is coming up, isn’t it? And, okay fine, Christmas, too. Believe me, I know that sometimes you have to just do Amazon as funds allow, but if you have a few extra bucks our vegan businesses could use it.

The following stores will have Veganomicon in stock next week. Throw them a little love…and throw it hard!

Cosmos Vegan Shoppe (now taking preorders!)

Food Fight Grocery (hold off on ordering until Nov. 4th)

Herbivore Clothing Company (they should have some next week)

Humanitaire
